[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can always go back home. Breaking into another country and scamming resources meant for citizens is an act of violence.[/quote]

Another moron.  Have you seen where they are finding these immigrants?  The meat packing plants in the Midwest, working farms all over, construction sites, restaurants, aides at nursing homes, Home Depot’s waiting for work.   They aren’t taking resources from fat lazy Americans who collect disability because their back hurts from working.

The majority of immigrants contribute to this country.   American born people commit the violent crimes around here.   Stop using scapegoats [/quote]

If these places paid people $30/hr with benefits I’m sure they could get a lot of citizens to work. But we have a system where people like you are routing for multinational corporations to have undocumented wage slaves instead of having these same corporations pay workers better wages and benefits. And people like you claim to be in the party of the working man and woman. Pshhh.

And repeating these lies about undocumented migrants being a net economic benefit is not helping. The Economist debunked this this year. Migrants are only not a strain on public resources if they come here with a bachelor’s degree.

It's not just about pay. It's also about working conditions, the physical demands of the job, career prospects, and perceived prestige or lack of prestige associated with the job. For example, in a 2011 experiment in Georgia, after stricter immigration enforcement reduced migrant labor, farmers began offering $15-$20/hour for field work. Few native-born workers applied, and those who did often quit quickly due to the grueling nature of the work. This suggests higher pay alone might not be enough without addressing other factors like working conditions or job prestige. (Source: "Georgia’s Immigration Law Backfires" by the AP (2011); "The Impact of Immigration Enforcement on the U.S. Agricultural Labor Market" by Genti Kostandini, et al., published in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics (2014).
