There is no unemployment issue here. The americans who don't work are lazy or greedy. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard the phrase "it's not worth me working after the taxes and child support I would have to pay"
Again, oversimplification.
Too many American companies hire illegals? Does ANYONE ever ask why that might be the case? Illegals don't ask $25 an hour plus benefits to pick fruit, that's why.
There is a surplus of undereducated americans and there is a surplus of menial jobs. The trouble is that they don't match up because the average american non-graduate still wants the pay of someone with a degree. Enter the illegal immigrant who will do the work for what the farmer is paying.
I'm not saying it's right, just that it's life. |
i agree with everything you said here......i just don't agree that open borders is the answer....
i also think for as many lazy americans there are those that will do those jobs...another point in lazy factor is the system of failing social programs don't provide motivation to get a job and better yourself....
