Blasher, legality (NO illegals should be here .. they’re against the law) Agreed. Why have immigration laws if we're not going to enforce them, or we're going to selectively enforce them?
immigrants versus Americans at the same price . . if our country can’t support jobs for everyone, why allow more ones into the country . . . this is the reason most countries have quotas It's not that we can't support jobs for everyone. It's that we WON'T. Big difference here.
We WON'T because many of us, especially the libtards here in California, think that our country should only support jobs that are worth at least $15/hour. We think our country should only support jobs that can afford to pay for our health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, and all of the other social welfare programs that they think are keeping the so-called "middle class" out of poverty. We think anyone who isn't making at least $15/hour plus all of the other mandated benefits are virtual slaves.
That's why the question becomes "an immigrant at $5/hour vs. an American at $15." If every job was actually worth $15/hour or more, then raising the minimum wage to that level should be a no-brainer. Liberals think every job SHOULD be worth that much or more, but reality says otherwise, and no amount of government mandates will change that fact.
Hence the flawed notion of immigrants taking jobs away from Americans. Instead, it's GOVERNMENT taking jobs away from Americans with their regulations. Employers then turn to illegal immigration to make up for that artificial imbalance.
It's not right, but then again, this isn't the first time government regulation has had unintended consequences.
