So if I pay the kid next door $3 to wash my car, and it takes him an hour (he's 8 years old), then it's slavery and I should be shot?
So if the public library pays my sister (who is 60 years old, with the mental capacity of a 10 year old) $3/hour to process incoming books (put the library card sticker on them and move them from the boxes to a shelf, a job for which she is actually qualified), then that's slavery and the librarian should be shot?
No ...
Slavery is not detemined by the dollar amount, and it's not freedom for the Federal government to mandate, across the nation and across all circumstances, that paying any dollar amount between one cent and six dollars is illegal. Upping the punishment to death doesn't make it more free.
Perhaps Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot,Idi Amin or Saddam would like your line of reasoning (calling it 'reasoning' is being a bit too kind).
I should shut up now - your reply was not worthy of a response.
Do you believe that illegal aliens are being hired to wash cars, do jury duty and put library books away?
Who do you think you're kidding?
Nobody is trying to support themselves, let alone a family, on what they make while serving on a jury. That's performing one's civic duty.
The jobs that illegal aliens are stealing from Americans are in the construction, meat packing, landscaping, truck-driving, manufacturing, etc. industries.
Nobody in their 'Right' mind wants to see Americans reduced to being paid $3.00 an hour for these jobs, so that these business owners can reap huge profits, while they force these workers to receive their health care in emergency rooms at U.S. Taxpayer expense.
It's $200 to $300 just to walk into most emergency rooms.
As has been pointed out on these immigration threads before, these business owners are out to privatize their profits and socialize their costs.
Last year 44 million workers in America made so little income that they paid no NET income taxes.
Following your brilliant economic policies, that number will grow to possibly 100 million? Will that make you happy?
You'd have them and their families then receiving their health care in our nation's ER rooms at $300 dollars plus per visit and at U.S. taxpayer's expense?
Please think, again.
I have and you're right about shooting these tightwad employers of illegal aliens.
Shooting's too good for them. ;^)
