There is no shortage of labor in the U.S. There are plenty of workers. They problem is businesses want us to work for nearly nothing to fatten their profits.

If the illegals are deported, businesses might have to pay higher wages. What a pity.

That's what this fight is really about. It is about keeping wages down in the United States. It is, and always has been, about money. American politicians don't care about the poor people of Mexico.

The Pew Center stated they make btw $500 and $700 a week.

And that's only possible if you cost-shift some of the benefits -- like health care costs via the emergency rooms -- to the taxpayer.

The bigger problem is that the real costs of illegals already cost more than legal workers. The industries that in the illegal immigrant racket are passing their costs on to the taxpayer.

When an illegal comes in and offers to work for $3 less an hour then that sounds like a bargain. The problem is that the illegal will have children that will burden the public school system at an average cost of around $6000 per year per child.

The illegals will also not have health insurance and will have to use the emergency room as a general practice physician substitute. This costs the hospitals huge amounts of money and many just end up closing their emergency rooms.
