“they are not willing to pay a livable wage for an American? Basically admitting they abuse the illegals??”
Which just shows you where big business places its priorities, not with the American worker but with making additional profits on the backs of immigrants.
But if they make the illegals eligible to work, then they won’t be in hiding and the businesses will have to pay regular wages and benefits.
It does surprise me, that unions and conservatives (NOT Republicans - conservatives) can’t find some common ground on this issue.
