Apparently illegal immigrants put pressure on businesses.
What is that about?
Illegals and their pressure: Immigrants are unskilled labor.
We know this due to their lack of vocational training for most jobs, and
their economic status in their home country. As such they compete with
our own unskilled and low skilled labor pool. This means that these
immigrants are cheaper to hire as their skills necessitate lower pay.
Additionally, they do not pay into Social Security (unless they have a
fake number), and they do not pay taxes (unless they have been registered as an
illegal that can stay for whatever reason). As such, government also places
pressure on businesses to care for immigrants and register them as illegals so
that they receive tax breaks and thus channel money from the federal government
into the State and local governments. So our own low skilled population
cannot get a job because they could and would be paid a higher wage than an
illegal. If you include the issue of competition and trying to get ahead
business wise, this becomes a recipe for disaster for American workers.
Conclusion: Immigration is a big deal.
Illegals coming over the border are actually taking jobs that would
otherwise be filled by lower skilled members of the American citizenry.
As such, the illegals coming across the border must be halted. Then
a policy put in place to deal with current illegals in the United States.
But many of our laws already do this, but are not followed due to lack of
enforcement. So is there anything that can be done? At this moment,
I do not think there is as the Latin American community is a voting block and most
politicians and the President do not want to risk losing their vote.
