Anonymous Coward User ID: 50985703 United States 08/17/2015 11:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Immigration is such a mess because we have become a welfare state. So many government handouts that nobody wants to do manual labor jobs except for immigrants. So if/when we kick out the illegals we are going to have a huge labor shortage because people on the government tit aren't going to rush out and start roofing houses and cutting grass. Quoting: travlnlt 62117815 I think that is a fallacy that the lefties want everyone to believe. Teenagers have been devastated by the economy. They aren't buying because they can't, no matter what color they are, get jobs and therefore the spending they used to do isn't happening. Grown men, after a couple of years, have just given up looking for work. They would love to put on a roof or mow a lawn. Being at home, out of work, is taking it's toll on them. That's two groups, sure there are more. Mary Kissel was on batchelor tonight. She's fallen hook line and sinker for this fallacy. It's a shame, thought she had at least half a brain. |

EVERYBODY PANIC User ID: 67539913 United States 08/17/2015 11:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The big idea on the left is that more illegals will eventually be granted citizenship and voting rights. This will hopefully more than compensate for all the aborted children of Democrats. The big idea on the right is to flood the US with CHEAP labor. It isn't that folks won't do hard work, it's that employers would rather pay a pittance for folks to do grunt work just to keep the labor cost low and that helps them to compete in the marketplace. Real Americans are willing to work, but they want a livable wage in return, and big business won't go for that voluntarily. But if we could truly slam shit the borders, wages would have to rise, and the employers would just have to raise the prices a bit to pass along the added cost of production. Since all employers would suddenly be in the same bind, the rise in price of labor would jump rather quickly and the best workers would do very well. We call a man lazy who refuses to bust his ass doing hard labor for minimum wage. That same man, offered real wages freely from an employer, would be greatly incentivized to get out there and earn that high wage. We're doing it wrong. We're doing it all wrong. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69943827 United States 08/18/2015 01:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No American citizen will work a slave wage job when they are making more on welfare plain and simple. That's why all the illegals are taking the labor jobs. Cause no true citizen is out looking for them Quoting: El Penguino Immigration is an issue no doubt. I have no problem with immigration if they are willing to do it legally. Illegally it is out of hand uuuuuuuh there's no way illegals are working for slave wages and sending envios totalling MORE THAN 60 BILLION ANNUALLY to MEXICO ALONE. no 1s gotten into the amount going to honduras etc. Americans cannot get near any "trades" such as tile setting, roofing, dry walling/taping etc because the contractors are using illegal workers. they're not getting slave wages either. |
