My question is then who determines lower and higher wages. Do you want the federal government to do that?No, I want the federal government to enforce the borders and the wages will find their market equilibrium point.
You don't seem to understand that by allowing mass migration from the Third World we are creating a labor oversupply which depresses wages.
The larger the supply, the more they are depressed.
If you want to live in country in which wages are at a Third World level, and in which there is a small elite and vast numbers of poor(as in Mexico)you should support open borders
We agree on the concept of closed borders but my understanding was that borders are trying to be closed and local papers in MN, TX and CA are filled with stories of INS stopping illegals and sending them back and they come right back.
The point of the current plan "proposed" by the president is NOT allowing mass migration (though enough people claim it is, but just saying it does not make it fact) but taking care of the current illegals problem in the country. Like I said in previous posts, I favor a moratorium or controlled immigration policy. But then isnt it racist to only want the best and the brighest from the rest of the world to come here to improve our country but not allow the poor to work on jobs that a lot of americans do not want to work on.
As I have said on previous posts, there is not a black and white solution to this problem and the grey area is where we have to compromise and at least try to find a solution.
