That is because person A, being here illegally, will work for whatever wages illegally he can get. Essentially slave labor. He does so, because as long as he, his family and 2 or 3 other families live in one house, they survive long enough to have children and start eroding away at US laws. Though by US standards this is shocking, by standards in his home country it is normal. If he and his family lived alone, they would be living in the US equivalent of a one bedroom efficiency.


Person B has grown up in a system where many of the high paying jobs have been shipped over seas to Mexico or require a college education for which he/she was not smart enough. An evaluation of the current system has taught them the government wants them to be unemployed, otherwise it would not provide a choice between 1. Working 40 -60 hours a week, if they can find a job, for wages that allow them just enough money to pay their housing, transportation and food costs, with nothing left over for medical or other emergencies or 2. Having a child, staying at home and receiving government supplied food, housing, medical and necessary transportation for free.



It is a very black and white issue. We need to remove all the illegals and create enough additional decent paying jobs that allow us to kick all but the disabled and elderly off public assistance. The reason our country is not moving in that direction is because there is too much money being made by the people at the top, at taxpayer expense, in the direction it is going.

There was an article on CNN that dealt with a high-priced successful chef who made the defense for hiring illegals -- apparently if he didn't hire illegals he wouldn't be able to be in business. Ummm... no, he would be in business but wouldn't make as much profit. When millionaires are arguing to keep the illegals working that is about their pocketbook more than anything.

Well, when you figure out how to do that, please let the rest of the world know, you will probably get a nobel prize!

This is a response to Ld's article. I find it more interesting.

A good start would be enforcing laws already on the books. If you go after the employers and fine them, they will stop the behavior. Our gov't has a history of lax enforcement and meager penalty assessments. We need to invigorate the ranks of ICE with IRS agents and federal government heads that actually want our countries laws enforced.
