The lie that there are “jobs that Americans won’t do” or that we can’t afford to pay Americans to do is historical revisionism and is only coming true because we keep basing every decision on how to make our ultra-wealthy abusers even richer. We can do better than this.

The “jobs Americans won’t do” is acknowledging the current situation, not a comment on whether it was always true. In fact, it could also be said as “jobs Americans won’t do any longer because they are underpaid and only immigrants will accept the pay”.
