Quoting: JohnP Also talk to workers trying to find a job who do NOT have college degrees (not all of us are well-to-do out of high school or have football skills or straight "A's"). See how competitive they feel, when employers in the area, construction, for instance, turn them away for illegals who do the same work at a fraction of the cost, and no liability ("What worker? There is no worker..."). Americans in these areas are not lazy, the work was done by citizens before illegals ever did it, but the constant desire to make things cheaper or have higher profit margins have driven the American worker out into the cold in many cases. Of COURSE engineers and doctors are not clamoring to work in the fields or in construction. But the people who ARE looking for these jobs....have trouble because their competition will work for less than the TAXES the employer would have to pay for a legal citizen
So wont it be a good thing if Mexicans can be legal and pay their tax? Surely a competitive work market is a good thing, at least thats what we are being told all the time since we opened up our doors to those who entered into the EU a few years back !
