There is a broader scope for all of this, as Carol and others have mentioned, regarding, in my case, immigration and employment in the US that speaks to national policy. But one must not forget that for some jobs, although immigrants may be taking skilled jobs away from citizens, for others, they are tolling away in the lowest paid,most physically demanding, and most soul sucking jobs available in our workforce. In other words, they are taking a lot of the jobs, and hours that most of us would have no desire to take all for the most meager salary, with no benefits, and with long, gruelling hours. The guilt, I have always felt belongs in part to the employers who sustain that aspect of our workforce, as well as to the mentality that I have heard many times, even from some people I know, to "hire some Mexicans, they'll do anything for the money." Like professionals in the Olympics, there are too many loopholes existent that are punishing the wrong people.
