don't forget that the locals don't want to do the "stolen" jobs anyway

That's an absolutely valid point. I'm not American but in Ireland we get the same "foreigners are stealing our jobs" bullshit. I work in a meat processing plant. Most Irish new starts don't last the first week.
What jobs are they stealing? Jobs we won't do? We need immigrants, we aren't far away from a declining population. I don't understand how people thing that's an issue when our entire economy is propped up on migrant workers.
Not at the wages they're paying, anyway.
If you want people to do back-breaking labour, then pay back-breaking money.
