“Immigrants appreciate what America offers,” Puzder said during a recent visit to Washington to lobby for immigration reform. “They are not taking jobs from Americans, because there are not sufficient Americans applying for jobs. Maybe they feel they have better options.”
I've got cousins' kids who prove this.
Small town in west Michigan. Seems every fast food joint has a sign up saying they're hiring. Usually starting at $9.
They think they should all start at $12
In the past we would view this through the prism of supply and demand, and wages for that work would probably move up to $12/hour if that is what an employer had to offer to get workers. Circumventing the law of supply & demand by bringing in legal immigrants to keep those wages down is disgraceful and WRONG.
Do you know what $9/hour gets you today?
I’m not even supporting a higher minimum wage; just let the market dictate it (without screwing around with the market by importing $9 workers from abroad).
I bet if mommy and daddy would kick them out of the basement, take away their credit card, quit paying for their phones, quit making their car payments, quit putting gas in vehicle that 9 bucks an hour would look pretty good real quick.
Not societies fault, mommies and daddies need to pull the tit out of these babies mouths and kick their a$$es to the curb.
They are part of the entitlement generation where they think they are entitled to what they WANT and not what they have to EARN.
This is why this country will never recover. These families are raising a bunch of spoiled brats and need to kick some butt /rant off
