According to Professor Huddle at Rice University. who did a very comprehensive study which took a couple of years to put together. in his survey he has determined in a most conservative estimate 741.000 Americans have been displaced in jobs taken by thosi who have no legal right to be in the cotrtry. I think it is very important to point out the fact that we all too often hear an argument that illegal immigrants in this country take only the jobs of thoe that American citizens or legal residents would not otherwise take. That is absolutely untrue. In fact. in my own district in Oxnard. CA. recently we had an INS raid at a local manufacturer that made plumbing fixtures. a company that was employing people at $10 or $12 an hour. They arrested 52 individuals and deported them. The interesting thing about it. within 2 days when the story hit the paper. there were over 250 citizens or legal residents of the city of Oxnard who were in line waiting to apply for those jobs that they had read about in the paper.
