American workers don't want the jobs because the illegals keep the wages too low

So tomorrow you are going to apply for a vegetable pickers or construction job.

The wages aren't low, some illegals are making $20 or more an hour in construction.

That's another thing that has to stop is these myths and demonization of business.

That's true. Mexican men brag about it to cuckolded American citizen men making less than half that. We don't want American men getting too uppity and increasing the population of US kids with dads. ...fine choices for employment: free and easy American women and foreigners of all kinds. It keeps them in line and keeps the labor pool brimming.

Someone has got to stop being an apologist for 'business owners' who commit felonies on a daily basis.

I say you go first.

That's BS Dane.

Hiring an illegal is just as criminal as being one.

There are lot's of jobs being lost to illegals.

Maybe an "off the books" worker IS making $20.00 / hour, but if you know anything about running a business, you know that wages are just a part of what an employer pays.

No, the employer is just as culpable as the employee.

IF there are some illegals making 20 bucks an hour, they would have to be as rare as dodo birds. In other words- I believe this as much as I believe in Santa.
The very PURPOSE for hiring illegals is to keep it cheap. Are you going to tell me next that fruit pickers are paid the going rate?

Small business is part two of America's backbone, but they have bad guys too. And the bad guys knowingly hire illegals, thus breaking the law. Let 'em off the hook? I don't think so...
