Who Gets the Jobs?
A recent T.V. ad suggests that all the jobs created in this country since 2004 have gone to undocumented workers. That's not the case. Millions of Americans have been hired by corporations and other businesses over the past ten years, which continues today. Immigrants are willing to take on tasks many of us born and raised in the U.S. won't do, such as opening convenience stores or starting landscaping companies, which employ millions. Yes, the nation's economic comeback has a ways to go, but citizens shouldn't blame outsiders for the problem.
