The whole "they're taking our jobs" thing kills me. More and more native-born Americans do not want to do certain kinds of jobs. We have a teacher shortage to start with. A lot of people don't want to work retail. A lot of people don't want to mine or do anything risky/dirty.

As a nation, we would be LOST without immigrants, but some people just don't get it.
