Press conference starts at 2:45 EST....get the prilosec out...we are going to need it.
You have it exactly backwards.
The availability of illegals willing to work dirt cheap allows employers to hold down the wages of all blue collar workers in the sector.
If illegals were not present, employers would have to pay American workers a better wage.
Why are you so bent on driving down the wages of your fellow Americans?
Do you have any idea of how much the incomes of blue-collar workers have declined over the last thirty years, principally because of illegals and offshoring?
Do you really want to turn the United States into a Third World country?
I feel the same way.
The internationalists have complete control and won't stop until we're all serfs on their world-wide plantation.
We have that already.
It's called our current immigration system
You know, the one the globalists in both parties refuse to enforce?
Did you go to Union University? That is pure balderdash.
Employers are not some fat dudes in top hats with cigars trying to screw their workers out of every cent they can. Employers pay what jobs are worth, and guess what, it has NOTHING to do with how much your rent is. It has to do with how much money your work produces for that company.
Your liberally blinded thinking may prevent you from seeing it, but it is a FACT that there are many jobs out there that are not worth but $3 an hour, or maybe even less. Now, those jobs are not going to be filled by legal workers because a company is not going to go in the negative just to hire workers to do those jobs. So they are forced to hire illegal workers who cannot report their wages.
If we removed minimum wage, then those low level jobs could be filled legally, and the companies could put more resources to paying its higher qualified workers instead of having to keep it's illegal workers secret.
No, don't get drunk and go running down the street screaming
You'll end up in the drunk tank with a bunch of hard-working, law abiding illegal aliens
Nonsense. The so-called 'globalist' border police turn away a million border-crossers every year.
In the future, please try to at least mask or hide any revulsion you might have against another culture.
Typical BushBot response...try to make me into a racist hater of Mexicans!
I will be honeymooning in Mexico at Playacar Resort this year, and will make the pilgramage to Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo...so stick that crap where you get your opinions from.
I am opposed to the ILLEGAL INFILTRATORS in this Country...I don't have any other thoughts about the folk in Mexico or south of them trying to get here legally...
Maybe YOU are the one who reviles a culture...the one here in America. Do you favor Aztlan? Are you a La Raza shill? Why do you oppose getting the Illegals out? ALL illegals, BTW, not just Mexicans or Hispanics.
The term "Hispander" was invented on FR, not by me...but it PERFECTLY describes Karl Rove's attempt to placate the Hispanic vote that he has been courting...and it IS Hispandering, since only Mexicans were at his presentation, and he spoke Spanish...not Vietnamese, or Chinese, or any OTHER lnguage...PLUS GWB made mention of the "bravery" of the ILLEGAL INFILTRATORS as they crossed the desert (ILLEGALLY) to get into America (ILLEGALLY)! Where was his praise for the Border Partol...his sympathy for the Border Partol agents who have died families?
I called it "Hispandering" correctly...sorry BushBot, he screwed us all, or Rove did.
But relax...your produce, maids, and lawn services will still be cheap..that's good news right?
Really?
So it is your position that jobs such as carpentry, roofing, framing houses, dry walling, cement work,electrical work auto mechanics and other semi-skilled trades are not worth the minimum wage?
Because I know for a fact that illegals commonly work in those jobs, jobs that employers who obey the law will pay Americans 8-12 dollars or more an hour to do
But why should a crooked employer pay an American a wage that will allow him to support a family when he can pay an illegal a Third World wage?You don't understand economics at all, and obviously don't give a d#mn about your fellow Americans
How many children have you borne for the future of our culture, language, and workforce?
