Immigrants "stealing our jobs"

Yes, but it isn't "taken" (by them) it's "given" (by us). You can't take a job.

No it is given by them to them by those who want to avoid the costs associated with hiring legal workers.

If I leave a package of cookies on my counter and I come home to find a trail of ants consuming it, what should I do?

A) Think: "Oh golly, look what I've done. I've given sustenance to these poor creatures who have less than me. I should just let them stay. I'm sure they add more than they detract from my home."

B) Remove the incentive for their entrance (the cookies) and rid my house of the invaders.

C) Be indecisive because neither choice is perfect so therefore I do nothing.

Well we have tried that approach for the last umpteen years and look(out) where that got us.
