What many people don't understand is that there are many Americans who must work as unskilled or low-tech laborers. Not everyone can get a college education. Many Americans need those monotonous, dirty, dangerous, boring jobs, and they are glad to get them. They are hard working, honest people, maybe with limited education and technical skills, but valuable to our society nonetheless.

Unfortunately, they are also "quiet" people in the political arena, so the louder voices promoting this myth get more attention.

I know many LEGAL American people working in poultry plants, housekeeping, landscaping, construction, fast food service, bagging groceries, etc. Many of them are Deaf. Do they want their jobs taken away by cheaper illegal labor? NO!
