You think greed is the only reason? You think these businesses would be able to provide products or services at a competitive rate, without hiring illegals?
Fine kick the illegals out, then what?
Yep I do, we had a construction company for 11 years, never once employed an illegal, then here they come driving down wages and allowing the employer to employ more to work faster and cheaper and putting out a shi**y product and put us and several of our friends out of business.
You do realize it is more than conveyer belt jobs we are talking about right? So what if Mcdonalds has to raise their price 10 cents a burger to pay for a citizen.Or a motel has to cahrge 5 dollars more a night, I would pay it. And I know for a fact builders keep their prices where they are even if they had citizens, they just pocket the extra savings they get by hiring illegals.What you think they pass the savings on to the consumer, NOT!!
But by you saying the hotel or McDonalds would charge more without illegals, is in a sense conflicting with you saying there wouldn't be a savings extended to the consumer by hiring illegals.
Maybe a business should have an "Illegal Free" sticker on their window?
How about an "Illegal Free" batch of strawberries?

I will gladly let you pay more for that.
$ .10 more or 5 dollars more if your theory were in fact true, thats what I was saying. It wouldnt be this great downfall of society that you claim. Yes everything should be illegal free. We used to build we know the builders, they charged the same, just pocketed the rest, I was saying I dont feel your claim is true, it is their greed not necessity that would fuel it.
And FYI I picked strawberries every summer four four years, I got .50 cents a pallet, until the illegals came and were paid .20cents a pallet, did the prices rise, nope same in the stores.

I am saying it would be a lot more than .10 or 5 dollars, and it would become increasingly more expensive as the years went on.
Yes laws are being broken, but highly doubt it is all based on greed or because illegals like to live 10 to a room.
How about we just hire nothing but legals and subsidize it? Like for instance gasoline? Which is much more expensive around the globe than here in the US. You think we could handle the ACTUAL cost of gasoline?
Your taxes are paying for competition whether you like it or not, either way, legal or illegal.
Indians program for Fortune 500 software companies for 20 an hour, an American would want 50 an hour. The prices you are used to dealing with are based fully upon non-americans.

It would only be more, because people would be suckered into believing that from the greedy ceo's. Geez like there 300 million a year salaries couldnt take a hit!!!
And no we couldnt afford it, because wages have been so depressed.

So you admit it is too late to fix now?
I say it was never broken.
This is the way this country has worked since inception. Exploiting other countries resources, illegal immigration was a necessary step in this countries competitive survival.
Good luck buying that product with "illegal free" on it.
