Hi Meg - I blame the leftists. They've been preaching socialism for decades, and some people aren't all that smart. Then there is this blame the worker mentality. The cost of employing a worker here is some multiple of what a person's actual salary is due to liability insurance, OSHA compliance, Payroll tax, etc.

I don't think it's right that they allow this flood of illegals into this country because it allows employers to exploit them -- a mexican worker should be subject to all of the same rules and regs as an american.

I'm for Fair Trade with other countries, but I'm not for Free Trade. If the other country is significantly freer of government mandates, then we are exploiting THOSE workers. This says that foreigners are not as worthy of protection as Americans. Of course, we all know that this is about cheap labor, not protection, but in the end it's all the same.
