Well, that's another reason why I am so dead set against Mexican citizens being allowed to compete for jobs in the US. I want full employment and wouldn't mind at all seeing a distressed labor availablity a period of time. Let those businesses compete. We've been holding wages artificially low for years by flooding the labor market. Enough already.

Exactly, screen names aside, I am not a union goon.. I hate unions in fact.

And when employers complain: "The market should determine Minimum Wage" I completely agree. No Problem.

But then, when you ask them: "So the market should also determine how much you have to pay to retain help.. right?"

Their answer is to load the pool of potential employees with illegals, stifle competition and drive wages down.

So, on the one hand they want me to compete for my wage.. Fine.

But they don't want to have to compete for my labor, cause that's wrong somehow.
