Another factor that pushes businesses to hire illegal aliens is minimum wage laws. These laws make hiring young people so expensive that businesses turn to illegal aliens and pay them under the table. This saves in both wages and overhead, which adds considerably to hiring costs.
The laws appear designed to cause the importation of millions of illegal aliens. I keep wondering why, especially in an era when over 25% of young people still live with their parents. I’d like to see American citizens put first, for a change. But pro-America positions are now termed “nationalist” and reviled.
My idea is to verify every one is working 40 hours/wk through pay check stubs. Once the 2000 hours are verified at the end of the year congress gets together and decides what the lowest incomes should be. A 10% across the board ‘wage tax’ will be used to pay for it. A 40 hour work week will make people too tired to cause trouble.
There is zero correlation between raising the minimum wage and the unemployment rate if you TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT THE RAW DATA. None.
