Lie: "Illegal immigrants are taking good paying American jobs!"

other than illegals being available the jobs would pay more. Now here's a lie by a prominent guy:
John McCain: "You know I've heard that statement before. Now, my friends, I'll offer anybody here fifty dollars an hour if you'll go pick lettuce in Yuma this season and pick for the whole season. So, ok, sign up! Ok, when you sign up, you sign up, and you'll be there for the whole season, the whole season, ok, not just one day. Because you can't do it, my friend."

Here's the fucking truth-because I had a family I worked offshore on a fishing boat in February for far less money. The work was as hard and the conditions as bad. It sucked every bit as much and I would guess even a little bit more-the guy who replaced me the following year drowned at sea. If your family is hungry you will do almost anything. But one more fact-If they could have gotten illegals the pay would have been so low as to make the job worthless...
