If they paid more, American citizens would take those jobs.
So what is it, as I see some here saying that many Americans would rather have welfare when clearly welfare can’t compete with the $ that an assistant hotel manager and a banquet manager would get, if indeed foreign workers were sought out for theses positions.
But wait, there’s more:
Some like you are saying that the illegals are keeping American workers from getting the jobs, but others here at FR have said in the past that they come here because no Americans want those jobs in the first place. So which is it? ...
[BTW, were cheap burgers being flipped by the cooks or were nice meals being served if foreign workers were indeed sought out?]
... Back to what I said before that as in the part in [ ]:
So many here say conflicting things that it can make an owls head spin off, and owls have no problem turning their heads round and round, but some Freepers here could make them do it!
Americans won’t be content doing those jobs at the offered price point. By “content”, it means they won’t stay long and won’t be that interested in performing so well.
If companies can offer more they should, but many cannot because margins are tight. Also , the less profit you make, the less you have to invest and grow which means you will be losing out to another company in the medium term.
Overall, it’s called capitalism.
The which is it, is, that our brilliant politicians have created means tested poverty programs that make it more financially beneficial, or about equally so, for many people to stay on government programs rather than take jobs such as hotel workers and golf course maintenance.
As Trump has proposed, welfare to work programs are a critical need in addressing that situation. Americans will take those jobs if given no easy way to avoid taking them.
