I am a small business owner. The people I am getting ready to hire for my studio will be paid $15.00 an hour. It's skilled labor, and I need the help. If they are able bodied, intelligent enough, and Either Legal Aliens, or Citizens, I'll hire anyone. However what I will not do, is pay someone a pittance, just because it's cheaper. That does nothing but keep people, like Mexicans subservient. If Mexcans want to come here, Fine, Do it legally. If you want to hire illegal aliens, that's everyone else's business. However when your business is raided by INS, don't cry about it. Pay the fines and hire LEGAL immigrants, or citizens for your workplace.
There are two things we can do to stop illegal immigration. One is to stop hiring Illegal Mexican Immigrants for menial jobs, the other is to close our borders to Mexico to illegal immigration.
