Illegal aliens are not valuable because they do the jobs Americans "won't" do. Illegals work cheaper than Americans because they come from a lower standard of living.

Americans won't do the jobs illegals do at the wages paid to illegals

And what should that wage be?

Should it be $20 dollars an hour. Do you own a business? Would you mind if I came into your business and demand how much you should pay your employees by a barrel of a gun?

There is nothing better than napalming faux conseratives(i.e market meddling marxists) in the morning.

In effect, that is what the businesses are cajoling the government into doing about wages.

If only English-speaking US citizens were used in (say) the construction and/or nursing industries (or in academica), the supply of labor would drop and prevailing wages would rise.

So tell me, Dane, if you like Free Markets, do you like consumers freely re-importing prescription drugs from Canada at a steep discount to the price they would pay for the same drugs in the U.S.? Or is that unfair?

If so, it sounds like you only want borders when it helps make certain businesses money...
