It does not diminsh the fact that illegal workers diminish the wages of Americans....why pay more for American workers when we can go get illegal day laborers for a mere fraction of a living wage. It also undermines our overall standard of living. But, why focus on those facts when we can resort to how Americans dont want to do real labor.

Funny, how our economy is in the tank and I see more Americans doing landscaping and general labor work this year then ever. A job is a job, and our priority should be to citizens and those here legally.

Companies can use H2 visas and get workers here legally to do "scut work". One does not have to resort to illegal people.

But, as I said, it is easier for knee jerk liberals to be profane and rude then to inject any rhyme or reason into the situation. Preying on emotions rather than facts is sad but customary.

I have to ask, do you have any idea how many H2 visas are allotted yearly?

Do you read credible and accredited economist, one who happens to have a Nobel Price in his home, state the fact that immigration, documented or undocumented actually helps the US economy?

And it helps US economy and those good ole US entrepreneurs to pay undocumented workers less. It allows those business owners to get more profits and pay less taxes. yay for them!

As a MEMBER of this community I am going to kindly ask you to stop using the term "illegal immigrant", it is racist and insulting.

I suppose you are not a "knee Jerk Liberal", another term I see you throw around in an attempt to incite and insult.

If you want to have a civil, intelligent, informed conversation, then do so. But I don't see you doing this right now. And no, it is not because you disagree with me, it is because of the way you throw racist terms around as if you had every right. Your privilege, and so much more, is showing.
