How dare you denigrate the millions of Americans that Do do the jobs that Americans can or won’t do! If I had known it was below me to have picked weeds at a nursery, flip burgers or shovel manure, I could have saved myself a lot of back breaking work. Or my sister who worked at a hotel cleaning rooms. Or the American men and women I encounter each week as I travel throughout the U.S. as I do my, now, white collar work.
I, the Republican, who worked my way up from doing the jobs American can’t or won’t do, started to get turned off when President Bush started spewing that line. I’m sure a lot of other Americans who still do ‘that’ work, were as well. I must have missed it where the Monopoly game of the American Dream now starts at New York Avenue instead of at Baltic.
You have a habit of generalizing the American people with the broad brush of anti-immigration smears, but this is a case where the facts dispute your rhetoric.
