The thing I dislike about the "we need Mexkins (illegals) 'cause they'll do the jobs Americans won't" argument is that if they weren't around, the pay would be high enough to GET "Americans" to do it, or the job doesn't really need doing in the first place.

In other words, they're allowed in to glut the labor market and keep wages down for the Man to profit.


well not quite...

if it weren't for the 'mexkins' willing to do labor intensive low pay jobs for "the man", eventually our technology would find a way to eliminate the job entirely with some sort of mexibot strawberry picking machine

we call that productivity enhancement here<g>

right now with the cheap mexkin labor the cost/benefit analysis doesn't support the technology
