First of all if you think Americans are praying at night to hit the fields and pick fruit and veggies until their backs break, then you are nutz... We are way to spoiled and entitled to do that. Fact, many Mexican immigrants do the jobs that we "American" are too privileged to do.The GOP is supposed to be the job friendly party that promotes free enterprise... When it comes to illegal immigration why is nobody proposing a way to create jobs and put 11 million immigrants to work? We have a tremendous opportunity to kickstart our industries and the workforce available to do it. Why not utilize it? Why does nobody explore this avenue instead of wasting years and billions of dollars fighting to send them back and shrink our economic potential?
What does free enterprise have to do with illegal immigration. If you think creating jobs was so easy, don't you think someone would have done it? What's your plan?
Every illegal takes a job from an American and also drives down the wages of Americans who are working. That's why they have to go. If you say they should stay, you're saying you want to crap on American citizens. It's as simple as that.
Second, here is a plan... Drive across middle America and note how much open land there is... Why not start building communities, industry, agriculture... Start actually producing shit so we aren't dependent on foreign imports. Connect our cities with a bullet train line to make domestic travel and shipping faster. Colonize Mars and start charging the citizens for air... There are plenty of things that we can do. Im not saying it is an easy answer but the conversation isn't being had or explored... I would think this would fit well with the GOP agenda but all i hear is vast opposition to anything that considers accepting and utilizing illegal immigrants to help progress our nation.
Your insight of economics is humorous.
We do not build communities because we have nothing better to do, we build communities because there is a demand. Same thing for products. As long as Americans are consumed with cheap products, you could take half this country and build industry and it won't do squat.
Immigration infects more than fields, they are in nearly every line of work in America and keeping wages low. You will find Americans do to any job, but the pay has to be acceptable and we need to severely cut down on our social goodies we currently give out that keep people from finding work.
True enough, a person can make 15,000 a year on welfare, just guessing. Would you give that up to go work in the fields for 10,000 a year? Who would do that? What apparently the left wants is a modern slave class working fields breaking their backs for minimum wage.
