Mr. Speaker. here we have another attraction for people to come here illegally and then realize. well. "we are sort of dumb here and we will say if you pay us $1.000. you can sort of stay around." Let us not just think about the young Americans that are pushed out of jobs by illegals. which started me on this issue in 1975. The leaders of Watts showed me how illegal immigrants were pushing out young people who were in entry jobs as teenagers in hotels. in restaurants. and in gasoline stations. But we are also harming people from other countries who are following the rules and want to come here legally. Let us look at the three major countries where future citizens are waiting for years.
Identified stereotypes
Illegal immigrants are portrayed as taking jobs from young Americans and being exploited for cheap labor.
