    The immigrants aren’t taking our jobs. They’re doing the work “we” don’t want to do. Agriculture. Janitorial. Construction. Stuff like that.

    partially false, they’re working under conditions we technically have employment laws against. longer hours, no recourse against management, etc. it helps suppress wages across the board. This include higher paying jobs like software development, nursing, doctors, etc.

      This, there’s no job “we” don’t want to do, they are just typically not paid fairly because the employers have access to desperate immigrants.
