Agreed.
People on this thread keep talking about the free market that exists without illegals, but the market is not free as long as the government is paying people not to work. If businesses raise their pay to attract workers, who of course must come from other businesses, you'll end up with an artificially inflated pay scale (costs to business) because of government subsidies for those who don't wish to work.
If we as a society believe that we should embrace a little bit of socialism and create a safety net like welfare, that safety net needs to be cut off after a very short time. People will work when there's enough pressure to do so.
"You don't work, you don't eat" works. "You don't work, well, we'll pay you anyway" doesn't work.
I agree with that statement. Have said many times over the years that nothing will instill ambition in a person faster than going hungry.
