"Do you want your children or grand children to pluck chickens or collect garbage or clean bathrooms or dig irrigation ditches all their lives?"

I want my future children to have great careers inventing and producing wonderful machines, processes, and new technologies that make backbreaking, unskilled manual slave labor obsolete.

I want America to be leading in the manufacture of those machines, and to be selling them all over the developing world, making greater prosperity and wealth for Americans.

Rather than have a guy plucking chickens, lets have him working in a factory making machinery which processes the chickens, or have him work in a high tech, clean processing plant which utilizes that high tech machinery.

As long as there is cheap labor brought into this country illegally, or by otherwise cheating the system, the natural market dynamics will never support the push to modernize.

Think where we would be today if two hundred years ago, instead of the invention of the cotton gin...we had millions of illegals working as slaves to accomplish the same function.

"I want America to be leading in the manufacture of those machines, "

Too late. Most machine shop equipment is made in Japan and other Asian countries.

But many of the people in America operating those new computer controlled 5 axis mills are immigrants from Mexico.

The shop owner programs the machine and the operator feeds and lubes it for hour after hour.

It's boring, tedious, dirty work that you don't want your children to do all their lives, but which immigrants take great pride in being allowed to do.
