I understand that Dems want illegal immigrants to come in and be citizens so that they can vote and get on the federal dole.
I also understand that “Big Business” is pressuring the GOP to push amnesty, too. The usual explanation for this is cheap labor.
But if the illegal immigrants become citizens, then the minimum wage laws apply, they can join unions, etc., so the “cheap” part of the labor goes away. Also, if they start getting all the free benefits, then they have no reason to work, just like many of the unemployed citizens we already have.
What am I missing? Why does “Big Business” want amensty?
Because illegals will work for cheap even though they may get all those benefits, at least that is the thinking. You’re not dealing with geniuses here in big biz despite what people may call Mark Zuckerberg for example. The bottom line in the end the guy made a freakin’ website that anybody could make, the difference is he did it first and hit the jackpot but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s still a moron who doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about when he’s pushing ScAmnesty. There is a LOT of morons in big business, I deal with them all the time and I can believe what I’m dealing with. Just incredibly naive, stupid stupid people.
