Well, okay, so just like this article talks about, people often find it easier to declare a source of a problem, rather than describing a symptom they're having.

Illegals aren't taking their jobs - there's plenty of studies evidencing that that's not true. *BUT*, people are feeling:

  1. under-employed
  2. under-paid
  3. in some level of pain, economically
  4. feeling insecure, financially
And they're saying "it's those damn illegals takin' my job" to reflect that pain.

Sure, propaganda plays a part of the experienced pain people have; but it's often not all of it. Propaganda is less effective when people are comfortable.

It is hard to understand how we can import unskilled labor and not have that impact the value of unskilled labor domestically.
