There are no shortages of American workers. If business says they can't find workers, they're actually saying "we can't find workers at the price we want to pay". Tough nuggies.

In a free market, you have to pay the price set by the market. Now, Big Crony Business wants to import millions of illegals, apparently 11 to 40 million aren't enough, so that they can pay lower wages. Wages have not increased in 20 years, so are they really getting killed by high labor costs?

Now, Big Crony Business benefits from lower wages, while the costs of high illegal immigration is paid for by taxpayers in high taxes, in destroyed schools, in overwhelmed healthcare systems, in higher crime, violence and deaths from drunk driving. Not to mention the destruction of American anglo-saxon culture.

Now, Big Crony Business and their ilk at the US Chamber of Commerce and the Wall Street Journal are elitists, who think they're smarter than the rest of us. They're not, they're self-destructive morons. While Big Crony Business is participating in the destruction of the middle class, where do they think political support for the free enterprise (profit system) will come from? The enlarged underclass? The downsized middle class? The newly disabled and retired on social security? Latino culture's going to replace the American Culture as a basis? Really?

They are destroying the base of their own existence. That's what I mean by being morons. A strong, vibrant, broad middle class is the superstructure for the business culture in this country. They are destroying that. And we're all racists, ignorant bigots for opposing this great future.

If business says they can't find workers, they're actually saying "we can't find workers at the price we want to pay". Tough nuggies.

Yes, but they are also saying they can't sell their products at the prices necessary to pay American workers those wages. Americans want Apple wages and Walmart prices. If you are buying $19 Chinese-made jeans at Target rather than $158 American-made jeans at an independently-owned store, you are part of the problem. See how that works?

Unfortunately, American lifestyle expectations were set during the massive growth phase from 1950-1985, and still can't easily be geared down to match the no-growth economy that we are currently enjoying thanks to liberals in government. Using illegals and cheap foreign labor is just a Band-Aid to get through the next quarter's financial results - eventually, all those losses from over-expansion in the face of zero growth are going to show up on corporate balance sheets. Then there will be no work for anybody...but we'll still have 30-50 million new mouths for the Holy Mother Welfare State to feed.
