Businesses have difficulty filling jobs Americans will not do

......for the miserly salary we pay our illegals

.....I really sick of hearing this mantra....
The bottom line is this... paying illegals meager wages keeps the industry salary at a artificial low..
If salaries are allowed to rise with the market value of the workers, so does the entire economy
Couple this with a 6-8 BILLION (so reported elsewhere)draw out of the US economy each year going to Mexico and the cost in ancillary services they use. You have a national economy that although is rising, could be skyrocketing. Keeping wages low causes savings to be low, the purchasing power of American families low,and the general exchange of currency to stagnate.
No way are these folks GOOD for the American Economy

It's OK to break the law by importing cheap labor, but it's not ok to go to Canda for cheap medicine.
