The problem is many-fold. First, the employers can charge you a cheap fee to cut your grass because they pay 7-8 per hour, no payroll taxes, workers comp, etc etc. Therefore, you are paying an artificially cheap cost for your service. Were these employers abiding by the law, they would not be able to stay in business. Its a bad problem, all caused by artifically low prices.
If the price were to go up, you might do it yourself.
So in other words, GM cutting itsa prices and having a record sales month is a bad thing to you.
Do you see how marxist you sound.
BTW, this paper left out Kyl/Cornyn's proposals. I can understand why, it is one proposal, that provide amnesty, but does address the problem.
Again, until Americans stop showing a demand for these services then they will continue to proliferate. Yes, the costs are low but when you also consider that these people use local services, obtain health care without paying for it and send money out of the country it is even worse.
I do, however, respect the work ethic of some of these people. They have shown that they are willing to work harder than some of those people who would rather rely upon welfare and call conservatives racist or insensitive for telling them to go out and get a job.
That's the beauty of illegal immigration - no one ever has to pay the direct cost. Instead, it accrues on the back-end in the form of higher taxes, reduced services and degraded infrastructure - from the dual impact of more volume and less money as budgets are shifted from capital projects to welfare/health/education.
California is the poster boy for this phenomenon - there used to be decent schools, well maintained roads, higher education funding, consistent suburbs, etc. Now it's a little more akin to Mexico City - you luck out if you live in a nice area, and reap the benefits of low-cost labor. Just make sure you live in a smaller separately incorporated city with its own school district.
