If illegal aliens really are good for the economy, as they claim, and want to hurt this country, GO HOME!

iF ILLEGAL ALIENS WERE NOT AROUND TO TAKE THE LOW PEON WAGES OFFERED BY SOME EMPLOYERS, THE EMPLOYERS WOULD BE FORCED TO RAISE WAGES TO A LEVEL THAT WOULD ATTRACT WORKERS, OR GO OUT OF BUSINESS. IT'S CALLED THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

I know what you mean. If politicians want to repeal the minimum wage laws and other worker-related laws, just be honest about it and do it. The "amnesty" and "guest worker" programs are only a way of doing it through the back door. Then again, if these people become "legal" and subject to these laws, what's to keep employers from just hiring more illegals and paying them under the table, as is happening now? I wonder if we could help "fix social security" by making sure only LEGAL employment takes place and the proper fund contributions were made. It couldn't hurt. Or will all these people finish their journey on the "pathway to citizenship" just in time to collect benefits without having paid into them? WHO THE HELL WILL PAY FOR ALL THIS???!!! I'm ranting now. It does no good.
