Once these illegals are granted amnesty, the “cheap labor” pool goes away. These new “aliens” now have rights and no longer have to work under the table for less than market wages.
You're correct: make no mistake though, Big Labor is supporting this amensty, and the Democrats are gonna appease their base (the Unions have targeted all the cheap labor, and prepare yourself to pay through the nose when the former-illegals unionize and the prices for goods sky-rocket).
And, worse yet, once the 20 million or so who will be granted amnesty now are in place, another 20 million or so will follow, illegally, and we'll do it all again in a few years....(amnesty)....
That's right, but they also receive other benefits including unemployment and welfare payments. It also makes those who don't register more attractive to employers, thus increasing the incentives for more illegals to enter. We gave amnesty to 3 million in 1986, and now we are granting amnesty to 12 to 20 million now. Amnesty doesn't work.
And once these illegals become equals in terms of market wages, will employers continue to employ them n the same numbers? If so, the costs will be passed on to the consumer. If not, we will have an unemployed underclass who will be sucking at the public teat or involved in crime.
