You mean the jobs they're taking? I saw him on CNN the other week and he said that food service, construction work, and landscaping were the major areas where you'll find illegals, and that if there was a shortage of workers like so many claim, then the wages should be going up.

It made sense in theory. But I don't have any accounts of the current wages in any of those. I do know that a large portion of the people doing construction in New Orleans are Latino, though the things I've read on that kept away from the illegal immigration angle.
