"To have an entire workforce based on a false premise(Illegal Immigrants) is silly"
Recently someone posted an article about how California winemakers may lose market to other countries if illegals keep getting harassed.
A thought occurred to me that I may start mentioning a lot, if you depend on an illegal foreign workforce to maximize your income, then chances are you are pretty wealthy.
Think about it, the media may have never interviewed the individual Americans that are fighting these foreigners for jobs and housing.
The media always goes to the plant owner, the commercial farmer, the management of a construction conglomerate, and reports their tale of woe.
When I'm talking to a guy that says but if I hire the local citizens it will increase my annual labor costs by a percentage, my reaction is that he isn't a real business man, no matter how rich he is, he is padding his false figures by illegal, under the table practices.
What do you think the plantation owner's arguments were about the rising price of cotton? ;)
I guess to some, being forced to obey the laws is to be "harassed" .. odd.. I don't see it that way..
The employers are breaking laws period! Hiring the illegals did not lower the cost to buy a home in most areas the consumer who is also a taxpayer having to pay to subsidize the "cheap labor" realizes no benefits.
In most cases the illegal labor is not cheap some are getting paid same wages as an American the only thing is the employer and employee get away with paying NO taxes.
As the title states "Pressure driving up paychecks" yes driving up paychecks with no taxes taken out for the ILLEGALS only!!
