The Solution To the Job Crisis

The Solution to the Jobs Crisis? By Elton Camp In this write, words I don’t intend to mince Of illegal immigration I’m making no defense Nor any illegal aliens am I attempting to shame If my family was in poverty, I might do the same There is one main point that I want here to note If the government should seize aliens by the throat And throw them over the border and admit no more Would there be plenty of employment as before? Most of them have some low-paying, menial task How many legals would, for those jobs then ask? Are you or I those type jobs really going to take To do picking, digging, cleaning or using a rake? Some will say, “Why, yes, I’d be willing to do so.” To that response, I have very serious doubts though If a shortage of such workers never had there been, There was no reason for illegal immigration to begin
