It doesn’t help if illegal aliens are willing to work for much less. That also helps drive down wages. It also doesn’t help when Obamacare penalizes companies for having full time employees. I sympathize with this lady, but she’s probably got it all wrong. Obama and his ilk are a large part of why things are tough. They can’t fix it. They’re the folks who create it.
Yes, that’s the one factor omitted from my comment. Governments, state and federal, should come down hard on employers, especially large ones, who hire illegals, until the labor market for illegals is gone or very small. Then that market-distorting factor would be eliminated.
