Many of the jobs here that immigrants take are un-skilled or low-skilled jobs and they are hired over citizens for the same reasons. They will work like dogs, work overtime sans-overtime pay and allow their co-workers and employers to treat them like shit. They will accept low pay because they feel that it is normal, the standard, or just because it is better than what they got in their home country.
The problem is that it shuns a lot of young people, who typically don't have skills as they are just starting out in life, who are usually students, out of the job market. Many of these young people have limitations that the immigrants don't: school schedules, studying, social lives, etc.
It is easier for the employer to hire the immigrants rather than to build a workforce in their workplace where it requires some amount of effort to work around employee limitations.
For this, I blame the employers, not the immigrants.
BUT, I do not have any hard feelings toward you for directing your anger at immigrants. It is understandable, especially so when you wonder about their home countries. We put a lot of effort into building an economy and industry in our country, why can't/won't you fight the hard fight we did instead of coming over and enjoying the benefits that our citizens have fought in the past to achieve and work hard in the present to maintain?

Really??? I think that in the case of the USA it is debatable.
Is It Normal I'm racist towards immigrants?

Here in the states, it is not so different.

Despite this, I still blame the employers.
