Doing the Jobs Americans Won't Do

(Statesville, North Carolina) This is not surprising to me.

According to sheriff's deputies in Iredell County, about one third of the suspects arrested for drug trafficking in that area are illegal immigrants.

"What we've got is probably just the tip of the iceberg so to speak," said an undercover deputy, who asked not to be identified.

Obviously, these illegals are not doing jobs Americans won't do. They are involved in a criminal network with foreign links which has been allowed to increase its scope throughout the U.S. because of a porous border. This conflicts with the usual argument that illegals are needed to perform productive work which U.S. citizens shun.

My take is that the U.S. already has far too many homegrown drug traffickers as it is. We don't need more from foreign nations.
