I don't mean to offend you, but I'm going to ignore most of your response. What I want to say to you is that when you say that doing jobs other Americans don't want to do, and for less money, drives down wages for American workers, you're ignoring how tenacious Americans have been about having free labor from slaves, and what has happened when some states (Alabama several or more years ago), made laws that prohibited undocumented people from working there. Their agricultural industry crashed, and they had to rescind the exclusion of undocumented people. Similar has been true in California and other states. I don't know how old you are, or what you do, but why don't you tell the states to get rid of the "illegal aliens," and offer to do yourself what they were doing? And if you want "real Americans" to do all the work, then pay the higher prices that will result. I'm sure that in your house, you don't have anything made in China or other parts of east Asia, and no food grown in Mexico, right? Vastly easier said than done.
So you are saying that we need illegal immigration… because it exploits people for cheap labor, just like slavery? I’ll take the more expensive strawberries, thanks
It would be interesting to know if you will. "Will" sounds like the future.
So, nothing in your house from China, etc, and no food from Central and South America, huh?
Immigration doesn't have to be illegal. We have to welcome them, and make them legal, just as your parents are legal. Interesting that they don't want to be citizens.
