Employers can’t compete for workers with higher wages when the government makes it too easy for people to stay unemployed through “benefits”. All that happens is employers’ products and services start becoming uncompetitively priced and profit margins get squeezed to the point of there being little reason to be in business.,

Should we just tell people having to compete with illegals that their loss of earnings is just too bad?
