Jobs Americans don't want?

I just had to laugh when I heard on NPR this evening how illegal immigrants are only doing jobs Americans don't want - like working in construction for $12 to $13 per hour.
I laughed because I guess we here in the Adirondacks of northern New York should not have to worry too much about having illegal immigrants taking our jobs, considering how many Adirondackers would love to be making $12 an hour.
We do have legal college students coming here from Europe to work in the restaurant and lodging trades during the summer. But the reason for that is not because our young people don't want these jobs. It's because we don't have that many young people. They are being driven out because there are so few jobs that pay even $8 per hour all year.
It just goes to show our fearless leaders and those in the media who are making big bucks have no idea what is going on in this country.
