The business community is wetting themselves over this proposal because if the labor pool is expanded with millions of low skilled workers, their labor cost will correspondingly drop as all those workers, including many laid off highly taxed white collar folks, fight to get what's open. This is bad for any number of reasons with the destruction of the middle class being most prominent.

How are you going to stop that? If they aren't coming in from Mexico, they will come from somewhere else. You say, close the borders, but this proposal deals with the workers who are already here.

I don't know how to change what already is. This issue did not just arise today. The only advice I have for anyone is to always, always increase their skills. But, that has been good advice for a very long time, well before now. You work for yourself, not your employer... there is no loyalty. You must always move ahead. Your employer owes you nothing, than a paycheck.

Demonize the employers that hire the workers. And then force their practices to change? Is it the businesses that are evil? Or is it the cost of production and services? If the workers will be paid at such a low rate, won't the prices of products remain relatively low?
