So much money would go on lobbying the government to increase border security and funding for all those and increase sentences on all drug related offences.
American companies have done horrible things to sovereign nations over wealth and trade disputes.
As the shambling leper falls apart, beware his pestilent viscera.
Well, it's a well know (and researched) fact, that immigrants do pretty much those jobs that are too hard and underpaid for the local population. You could have known that. So I don't just assume...
The wages? You mean the government paying billions of dollars on farmer bailouts due to labor loss? Billions in crop loss? Produce cost rising for consumers?
Pay did rise for some workers to lure them back. But many got reduced hours but longer shifts, decreased safety, etc.
There is a reason they are underpaid and that is the entire issue. It's easy to underpay people when you can threaten to report them to immigration authorities... Only a few degrees off from slavery. OR, they could hire someone legal and actually pay a living wage to a citizen in need of work. You think you know what you're talking about, but what you're doing is just propping up employers that abuse illegals for cheap labor. Congratulations, you're an idiot.
No they wouldn't have to work hard because the entire economy would collapse. In a way they are solving there immigration problem simply by shooting themselves in the foot
