Why bother? We'll remember those peasants when we start to worry they might vote democrap. Talk about abandoning your base, hard working American conservatives the majority of whom will have their standards of living dropped by this.
I agree.
Plentiful cheap labor enables employers to keep wages low. That hurts low skill American workers who have to accept low wages to undercut illegals to get jobs. It also retards innovation. Employers with large pools of cheap labor don't have to find new, innovative, efficient, competitive ways to produce goods and services at low prices. They stay in business by paying their workers peanuts. Studies that have been done, I believe in Australia, prove this. Think of countries with large pools of cheap, relatively uneducated labor--they're not at the forefront of innovative economic powers.
