Isn't illegal immigration just a Big Business scam to keep wages low?

[SuperDemocrat]

This is a pretty straight forward question. A lot of cheap labor stays cheap just because there is a large amount of illegals willing to come in and work in this country. Who does this benefit? I know it doesn't benefit the poor working man for obvious reason but the middle class and upper middle class are hurt as well. Wages for them are higher than the lowest wage earners so if those wages stay low that means that those wage earners wages don't feel any pressure from the bottom to move up. One of the historical arguments behind limiting immigration was to protect workers in this country from having to work for next to nothing.

Ummm..no, doesn't make any business sense since businesses can import labor legally (or relocate to locations with lower labor costs) without taking the enormous risks associated with actively seeking illegal labor. Despite anti-capitalist claims to the contrary U.S. businesses are not engaged in some grand conspiracy to fuck over American Workers not to mention it's U.S. entrepreneurs that are carrying the lions share of the tax burden that is in part composed of all the costs associated with illegal immigration.

Do some U.S. Businesses knowingly employ illegals? yes they do but they're the exception not the rule.

Millions are employed illegally. It is not enforced. Why?

Who do we the tax payers pay to enforce the immigration laws? Who have we the people granted the authority to do so?

Seems to me the answer to both of the questions isn't "private enterprise" .........

When illegals come over and squirt out an anchor baby, they create a certificate of birth which is monetized and bonded which gives the corporate "gubermint" anywhere from 500K to 650K to borrow against while passing off the cost of their care to us. Anchor babies mean credit and that is why they will never stop it.

----------------------------------- good post , i also think that a benefit to business is that more illegal aliens keep buying , food , products , toys for their kids so that help ALL stores make money which is simply taxpayer money in many cases SDem .

Yes

Its primarily big business such as poultry processing, hospitality industry, construction, etc....

Most ALL are Repub/conservative types who revel in chasing labor to the bottom of the barrel (killing the US middle-class)

But yet the illegals don't have a better ally than the leftard clown posse that sees them as yet another underclass to pander too. The decline of the middle class was a well thought out plan and they used unfair trade agreements while spurring the "environmental" movement that liberals equally jumped on making it difficult to do business. Both parties are the same at the top but the rank and file liberals that had businesses have been used as willing pawns to kill jobs. You see, poorer people are easier to control and they leave less of a carbon footprint. Only the ultra -rich should be able to eat meat and fly the skies and travel the roads....us serfs? Not so much.....

This is the conundrum that confused Cino types can't get through their heads. Some have been so busy suckling at the testicle of big business interests that they've rendered themselves effectively insane.

If we really want to turn the tide on the immigration problem in this country we need to start hitting hard and strong against employers. Raid the dog snot out of employers using illegal labor, quintuple the fines. Oh, and eliminate the corporate shielding that so many companies use to get away with the nonsense.

You should ask your local, state, and federal officials why they do not enforce the laws that are on the books...

When you have Sanctuary States like Texas, California, New Mexico, and a few more it make it even harder to enforce the Federal Laws...

Hitting the employer will be the first step in the correct direction to stop illegal migration to the United States but also what need to be worked on is the marriage laws that help some of them skirt the law...

Too many loopholes for someone to get away with their illegal activity...

When state and local governments do want to enforce already existing immigration laws the federal government won't cooperate with them. That is why.
