ILLEGALS do not just mow lawns. They work in construction, hotels, factories, janitorial, restaurants, etc. There have been numerous articles written in major newspapers describing the FACT the ILLEGALS are paid $10-22/hour TAX FREE. They are TAKING JOBS FROM AMERICANS! They are CRIMINALS. They are here ILLEGALLY! Do LAWS and the CONSTITUTION mean NOTHING to you?
Nike shoes are manufactured overseas by near slave labor. How much are a pair of Nike shoes?
Have you read what the average corporate exec gets just for an annual bonus?
I imagine the bribes paid to our more corrupt congressmen are rather expensive too!
For the first 200 years this nation used Protective Tariffs to protect American jobs.
Before the Civil War, the North used tariffs to combat the South's use of slave labor.

I agree. Which means the problem is the taxes as much as the illegal labor.
Nike shoes are manufactured overseas by near slave labor.
Are they? Or are they just manufactured overseas by people who are paid wages that are considered slave labor only when measured in U.S. dollars? If Nike were to close its plants in Malaysia and Indonesia, do you think the people who work there are going to suddenly enroll in universities and study C++ programming, calculus, and molecular physics?

Before the Civil War, the North was the epitome of hypocrisy. The North was not opposed to slavery out of a sense of moral indignation -- it was opposed to slavery because it didn't need the slaves. I would venture to guess that the life of a slave in the South was no worse than the life of an Irish immigrant being sent to work in a coal mine at the age of 12, only to die of severe respiratory ailments before the age of 40.
