I think that if each of the major candidates told us the truth about what they really believe, there would not be one who really believes that every illegal should be deported. They hear from people that to us are silent - agricultural interests, representatives of the hospitality industry, etc. From them they hear that eliminating all of their cheap labor will spell doom for them and that there needs to be some kind of way to protect the current system.

Please do not scream at me about this. I am just telling you the truth. I do not personally benefit from the use of cheap illegal workers other than indirectly through lower prices. I personally am willing to pay more for what I buy in order to enforce our labor laws, but I am just me.

Most people have no idea how powerful these interests are, but if you look around and see who is doing much of the work in this country, it will help you to understand. I guarantee you that each of the major candidates is quietly hearing from those interests. So, if the candidates seem to have trouble saying what you would like them to say, do not be surprised.

“I do not personally benefit from the use of cheap illegal workers other than indirectly through lower prices.”

That’s not really true. If it were, house prices in mexifornia would be half that if the other states.

Illegals get paid under the table, so then go out and get welfare, food stamps, housing subsidies, and free medical. Taxpayers get screwed and only the unethical employers get mire profit from paying no workers comp and no social security.

Lower prices?

Does that go along with the 20 years of lower stagnant wages while the cost for everything has tripled for Americans?
