A Job Americans Won’t Do?
By
One of the fallacious arguments we constantly hear from the pro-illegal alien crowd is that “There are some jobs Americans just won’t do.”
Well, today’s Wall Street Journal reports that Americans won’t work in nuclear power. Apparently, an aging workforce and lack of enthusiasts among American young people to go into this technical science is creating a giant “Help Wanted” sign in the nuclear energy field.
So, are all these illegal alien advocates ready to farm out such an important national security laden-area as running our nuclear power and energy operations to foreigners? I mean, after all, there are some jobs Americans just won’t do. Right? Maybe we should hire some scientists from the Middle East to do it.
Americans will do any job if the market conditions are not artificially disenhanced by non-Americans. Americans will do any job if the conditions are right. One would hope the government will recognize that in the nuclear power field and work to encourage more Americans to go into it, rather than risking it away to those without respect for our common values of freedom and liberty.

B.S.
Less than 25% of the work force in construction, agricultural, food service and travel lodging is immigrant labor (sadly, few statistics distringuish illegal immigrants from legal migrant workers). The other 75+ percent are Americans.
With an unemployment rate of 4%, and Welfare still around–I’d say we’d have NO Problem filling in the jobs that Americans, supposedly, will not do.
The problem is, we need to be willing to pay a little more for a head of lettuce, to use one example, and treat this as a national security crisis, not an economic one. Democrats are too busy worried about the Hispanic vote and Republicans want the vote from businessowners that line their pockets with the extra cash saved by hiring illegal help.
We just wont see any real action on this issue unless we phone up the Senate and start telling people what we want to see. And even then I sincerely doubt they’re going to do what their bosses tell them to do unless another 9/11 can be verifiably traced back to the US-Mexican border.
Does a wall ALWAYS help? No, but it’s sure helped out Israel quite a bit.
