Left is what they want to use the Govt to do FOR them.

All I want is for government to adequately enforce existing laws

Your supposed meat cutters are mythology.

"The meat packers are confirming what we know," says University of Maryland economics professor Peter Morici, "and that is that this large group of illegal aliens in the United States is lowering the wage rate of semiskilled workers, people who are high school dropouts or high school graduates with minimal training."

In fact, a meat-packing job paid $19 an hour in 1980, but today that same job pays closer to $9 an hour, according to the Labor Department

Sorry, I was off by two dollars as to what the wages have dropped to - bad recollection of the exact details.

However, I HAVE substantiated my claim, which means your posts are just more of your patetented fact-free, over-the-top nonsense that we have come to expect from you.

That's the problem: taxes, regulation, litigation. Existing laws are running companies offshore like lemmings into the sea.

Illegal immigrants are a part of the problem. Domestic labor contracts and skyrocketing health care costs are a BIG part of the problem.
