This argument made only a very small amount of sense back in the good old days when we had 4% unemployment. But today, when we are at 9% unemployment, this is an utterly asinine argument. Particularly when illegal immigrants are no longer doing jobs Americans "don't want", but rather doing jobs Americans have the audacity to expect a decent wage to do - things like construction, factory work, and hotel services.
