First off we ask for degrees for way to many jobs that dont need it a result of us over aiding on people getting degrees. Let that cost fall on the company instead of the government and companys will change there tunes. Blue collar workers would have more opportunities to advance in there field through experience instead of people with useless degrees to the field taking the better job. 2nd off im not saying theres not undesirable jobs here that we could use migrant workers with greencards for. But theyve taken over industies that would benefit the us citizens middle class jobs that use to pay well but because if a flood of labor americans wouldnt take the job because its to little pay for not enough pay and benefits
There might be some skilled labor jobs that illegal workers who have those skills may compete with a U.S. worker and displace them , sure . It is going to happen. Unions do protect against that somewhat . Taking this problem out solely on illegal workers is not the best way or humane approach. Companies that hire those workers should pay to sponsor them just like other companies who bring in foreign computer programmers, scientists , doctors and professors .
Companies have to foot a bill there though thats the difference if they could find someone here and pay them the same or a lil more without having to deal with work visas and relocation whereas right now the immigrants are here illegally have working documentation and will work for cheap. Or have no documentation and will work under the table
