Immigrants Aren’t Stealing Your Jobs America You Just Need Someone To Blame!

[AdSense-A]

By Jason J.G. Gamble

Perhaps the most common argument against illegal immigration is they are stealing our jobs. This is one of the most intellectually lazy arguments in the existence of this country. After one of my past articles I received an email stating that Trump is saving American jobs by keeping out immigrants. I must admit I laughed immediately. The narrative that immigrants steal American jobs ignores several key facts. Allow me to inject common sense into the discussion. In America we have the Social Security system and our ability to work a legitimate job is linked to our social security card. Employers must pay taxes and register with the country’s Social Security Administration and IRS.

How can an illegal immigrant with no Social Security number steal the job of an actual citizen? Maybe people should consider that some employers hire illegal immigrants in order to avoid paying a fair wage. How many Americans are willing to do hard labor for less than minimum wage? Directing your anger at the financially poor immigrants that only want to feed their families instead of the rich greedy employers that don’t want to pay a fair wage to an American.

Why are you angry at the people that have no power in this situation? Also, considering that more than eighty percent of illegal immigrants do not speak English. Most illegal immigrants do not have a formal education, and most do not have any family in the United States. I will be blunt! If you are in fear of losing your job to someone that has no Social Security number, no education, cannot speak English and has little or no family support in this country than you need to take a long hard look at yourself and your own qualifications.

Stop looking for someone to blame for your lack of success, because your lack of employment has more to do with your education, your skills and the hiring practices of employers. Please stop blaming the people that have no power. In America you need money to eat and immigrants are just as hungry as the rest of us. LET THEM EAT.

Remember we are all in the struggle together. Our collective rise is the demise of injustice.
