There is a depressing effect on wages and illegal's do give employers the power to treat everyone poorly. "Take what I give you or I will find someone who will." <BR/>It isn't that citizens won't do some jobs, it is that our lifestyles don't afford people the luxury of taking a minimum wage job. They have to look for a job or two that pays more in order to drive a car, pay rent, and feed the kids. The problem with wage depression is that A LOT of jobs are stuck close to minimum wage due to the abundance of illegals who will do them for less.<BR/>One of the reasons illegal labor is so cheap is because they have no financial obligations other than their immediate needs and their families back home.<BR/><BR/>So to me this is another coin that has two sides. I don't know if it is a net good or a net bad. I just have a feeling that it shouldn't be the way it is.Kirkrrthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408100057892853552noreply@blogger.com
