The study based on U.S. census data from 2009 to 2011 found that of the 472 jobs, immigrant workers outnumber "native-born" Americans in only six occupations: sewing machine operator, agriculture, masonry, plasterer, fruit and vegetable sorter, and tailor.
The group found no occupation where illegal immigrants dominated. In fact, many jobs assumed to be majority immigrant aren't. For example, 51 percent of maids are American-born, 64 percent of landscapers are American and 66 percent of construction laborers are natives.

Should say:
"Report: Illegal Aliens Rob Americans"
Of course.. we all have common sense politicans dont..they rob social security education medical welfare food stamps..but its not the reason we are broke...
It's not about wanting to do a specific job it's about wanting to do a specific job for the pay afforded. Most immigrants can do the job for less because they cram into houses and divide and contribute toward expenses.
Immigrants aren't robbing anything. It's the businesses hiring them that cheat the system and distort the labor market. Everyone wants to demonize immigrants when in fact, these folks make some pretty big sacrifices just to go out and work. You should be saving your fire for the employers by finding out who is hiring illegals and ceasing to patronize their businesses.
They experimented with prisoners on a farm. Paid them all a wage, probably minimum to harvest crops & they all refused to work the second day since the work was too hard. The immigrants will work at anything, cheerfully at that, & for very little money.
Again 7:42 they don't have the expenses that most Americans have.
