These wage trends in illegal immigrant-heavy industries make clear that these sectors are not facing shortages of native-born workers. They're facing shortages of native-born workers who can accept poverty-level pay.

Decent wages would secure U.S. borders

That's such a great idea!
"Decent" appears to be such a reasonable and unambiguous word; like "immigrant".

I got my Karl Marx around here somewhere...

I just read an article last night that stated that labor cost for a head of lettuce was 7 cents and that doubling the rate paid to laborers for picking it would add 7 cents to the price.

I'm willing to pay the extra 7 cents to have my lettuce picked by Americans.

A better deal for the pickers though would be to take John McCain up on his offer of $50 an hour for picking lettuce.

Yes, these illegls take the jobs that Americans won't due for $2 bucks and hour. why doesn't Bush tell the true story
