ever notice Americans never ask Natives how they feel about Immigrants..I wonder why?? lol

[@mrv7916]

Things work different up in the North. should start with war of 1812 lol you know that hard working labour work Mexicans get made fun for. they got that gene from the Natives lol in the North you have to be a hunter/gather on the Rez plus we believe or not there are these guys call RCMP that police the North but in Cities they have City Cops for that..plus gotta love our Strict Immigration Laws. lol

I agree with you. That's why managers and directors need to be arrested for hiring illegal immigrants. They encourage this immigration by hiring. However, the government only arrested the illegal workers and NOT MANAGERS OR DIRECTORS. By doing so this only encourages MORE hiring of illegals, not the other way around. If there is no penalty for such practices, they will keep happening. The illegal want to work, they work hard, but arresting only them does nothing to curb illegal immigration.

good idea would be to make the work visa more affordable so labor demands can be met. the wall isn't about Mexican immigrants out it's about cutting down illegal immigration. true a wall won't stop it completely but it will decrease illegal immigration dramatically.

So many issues with this one-sided reporting. Goes to prove if jobs are being stolen. Asks employers who all say "no, we need them".... with no push back, especially to the landscaping and ag employers. How about asking their workers if they all pay taxes and have benefits. Goes with labor organizer to worker crowds at big-box construction store parking lots, who are all temporary per-job workers paid cash, and then later lets that organizer rag on independent contractors with no push back on the hypocrisy because that's exactly what those under-the-table cash workers are. Tries to make the case that we're loosing GDP by not hiring illegal immigrants, as if we should allow people to break laws to increase our GDP or lower our cost of eggs. Mixes "undocumented" workers and E-Verify discussions, without discussing how "undocumented" workers can pass E-Verify.

[@shoppinmadnesz22]

why don't instead of Americans meddling in foreign countries half way across the world, we address the war on drugs on our own soil? the main reason why Mexico's cartels are so rampant is because their main source of income is from the States. if we tackle this issue plus aid Mexico with defeating the cartels on their soil, then maybe they can finally bring their economy/education up without retribution or corruption, and less people will be inclined to cross over.

Actually I as an Arabic doctor trying to go to US for several years now, I find it very unfair for other immigrants from all over the world to see that mexicans can achieve thier American dream very easily only by crossing the border whatever their education or work experience! Only because they are America's neighbors! But a lot of other foreign immigrants are highly educated or highly experienced workers and they suffer very much to get there! Other than that America is the nation of immigrants mainly as we all know that the only Americans that aren't immigrants are the native Americans which are about only 5-10 % of the population! So if you hate Immigrants you must hate your self first!

Sorry to break it to you but it is not easy. They come here leave everything behind with not even a dollar in their pockets. They work in the fields, construction, clean houses, mow-lawns, etc. They do not come into America with Phds or a high education. They come here to work jobs no one is willing to do, its not easy either, they have to walk in the heat to get to the border and have a high chance of getting caught. It might seem "easy" from a foreigner who isn't Mexican but is it not easy. Working long shifts in the heat and doing a lot of lifting gets your body messed up over time. There's people who do not get paid for their work and the person gets away with it because they are afraid to go to the police because they might get deported.

I feel like having illegas as a hiring option, keeps companies pay low. At the turkey/chicken plants in Minnesota they hire lots of illegals. It keeps costs down because American citizens won't do those jobs for $12- $13 an hour. I worked at one of these plants and left as soon as I found a better paying job. If they would of paid me $18-$20 an hour I would of stayed, since they can hire illegals for lower wages why would they pay me more for the same work?

[@sylviabargas3340]

Yes, that's precisely the problem. Immigration (whether legal or illegal) drives down wages and makes it harder for Americans to get jobs. The winners are (1) the immigrants, and (2) the employers that can hire cheap labor rather than having to pay a Living Wage. The losers are American workers.

[@simonmaguire5250]

I've always found it so odd when people go on about how honest illegal immigrants are, when the people they are talking about are committing a crime every second. You do not just let the burglar off when they have left the house, and if they are caught in the house what kind of person keeps going on how honest they are? The next line they always come up with is how hard working illegal immigrants are. To which I say "So what? Some crime is hard work, not all crime is easy. But it's easy than not being a criminal or people would not be criminals. Do you know whats a harder than being a illegal immigrant? Being a legal immigrant. If it was easier there would be no illegal immigrant. Lgal immigrants are the number one group where a large percentage hate illegal immigrants, after all, if you had to work hard, how would you like people who got the same reward for no work?." Of course they never say illegal immigrants it's always some thing like undocumented guest worker, which I find odd. A guest is some one who is invited, and at the end of that invitation leaves. A guess has no right to tell me how to live my life, and can not get me to change it to be like the place they were so much of a hurry to leave, then want me to pay for it. Breaking into a country doesn’t make you any more a member of that country, than breaking into a house makes you a member of the house hold. Some one once asked me "If twenty years ago some one committed a burglary to feed their family, do I think they should have to go to prison now" To which I answered "May be not after all twenty years ago they did not get caught. But if they are still doing it today and every day for the last twenty years then Yes. Just because they got away with it twenty years ago doe's not mean they win have the right to get away with it everyday. The crime does not end the day they come in, every second after that they are still committing a crime. Being a criminal is a life lifestyle choice, not a race. You can pick your lifestyle you can not pick your race."

[@gallownumber18]

[@stephan6372]

Here's the take from a former worker. If there is a wage in building at $20/hr for an 8 hr day with potential to raise to $30-$40/hr after learning the trade. Now an illegal will be happy with the $20/hr and won't really complain. Even if they learn the trade they will stay at the same wage and the boss will probably give them outside work(small jobs) to justify his conscience. Rhythm in work is also thrown out the window and so are job site requirements like safety.
