One by one the news reports of large companies laying off and closing down due to wage increases
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
― Emma Lazarus
These are the people that took the jobs that (Americans wouldn't do)
They were put to work in fire trap buildings, in ditches, building railroads, anywhere cheap labour was needed.
They were hated, everyone of them because Americans would have done the work if they were paid a living wage.
Now you hate Mexicans for the same reason, what a surprise.
Make America Great Again.
And don't forget there is not a single country out there that has open borders to any and all that want to come live there. There is always a process and paperwork even from Mexico to here.
When I said you hate, I didn't mean you or even most people hate, but listen to the way they are talked about in the Media.
Ask a Mexican if they feel hated, ask them why they protested Trump. You sure stood up for your friends.
Products like drugs go where the market is, talk to your Doctors about getting people hooked on drugs they can't afford to buy.
Do you think that if you got all the drug dealers out of the country there would be no drugs, give me a break.
Simple solve.
Make it easy for an employer to check the paper work and jail anyone who highers some one that does not have that paper work.
Give them more time if they paid less than the min. wage.
Next.
first, you must make the distinction between illegal and legal.
legal immigrants are not ''hated'' they are welcome and needed here
illegal's are hated and not wanted here.
when you get those 2 distinctions figured out, then you can understand
your suggestion to vet workers and jail employers is a good suggestion, one that is being kicked around on the hill
i think it will be called E-Verify
that and a wall to keep those with wondering feet from wondering the wrong way is a very good start
I wonder every time the minimum wage debate comes up. why liberals want illegals to do there work cheaply.
and at the same time, want minimum wage to increase.
boggles my mind.
I think people forget that a living wage is not a house in the suburbs with cable TV, internet and a cell phone and a new car or two in the driveway. When I was growing up a living wage was a shared apartment and a bus pass or crappy old car I had to work on, no cable TV, no internet and a land line phone for 7 bucks a month. I didn't eat out and I lived just fine. If I wanted to live on my own I got a studio or other small rental. I did it on 4 bucks an hour and didn't complain. When I wanted more money I got a second job and worked even harder. It's really not that hard to figure out unless you are lazy.
