Do you think they will keep the jobs here or move them where they can get cheap labor?

ilove the 621 anyway i feel that those that are unemplyed on state aid etc will take any of the jobs if given the opertunity and if the pay was right , we all may not like to do some of the work but we will be willing to work  we rather work than be on state aid having to anser for every penny and all that so i would say there is no job that we would not do .

They need the help and the workers need the money. They'll work for minumum wage where some American workers want more.

Yes, sure I will stay at my house all day long. It is going to be a day that will show what would really happens if there where no immigrants. People say that we are bad for the economy so if this is true the economy will boom on that day.\n\nFirst some people say it is pointless but then they say that they will go and buy many things on that day. Confusing.....Isn't it? If they say that they will go and buy more things on that day is because they know that this boycott will affect the country. And then they say it is pointless! VERY CONFUSING...........................

Price Stability (Low Inflation)\n\nIf wages go up then you cannot hire too many workers.\n\nExample:\nIf today Congress passed a new Bill to lower the Minimum Wage to $3.15 then most companies could hire almost twice the number of workers they now have and that would reduce unemployent.\nThat law is never going to be proposed by any Congressman because it would not be popular and that would cost him the election. Despite the fact, low unemployment is good for everyone it also causes less Crime and more Profits.\n\nOn the other hand, if the minimum wage is changed to $10.30 per hour then most companies would have to fire half the employees to make the same profits and that would increase unemployment and crime.\nIf a Congressman proposes that law it will be very popular and it will probably will give him an election. \nYes, the more damage you make the more popular you are.\n\nHigh wages cause inflation.\n\nIn the United States of America the wages are the highest in the world and that is eventually is going to cost millions of jobs.\n\nSince 1994 companies have been moving out of the United States of America to Mexico, China and India.\n\nThat trend cannot be reversed unless you bring the mexicans to the United States of America (As opposed to send the factories to Mexico)\n\nIn a company moves to Mexico not only employment is reduced but also taxes and if you are unemployed you cannot spend too much money.\n\nIn fact, Mexico is now the 12th richest country in the World because of this.

They do take jobs.  They work for less than the govt requires be paid to legals - construction right now is the worst.\n\nThe reason we worry about it so much is because almost all of the illegals are then using govt assistance, and since they are paid under the table or do not have to pay taxes.  We end up paying for them to be illegal.\n\nI worry about whether I can give my family everything I want to (and work hard to be able to) and my taxes keep going up because of the illegals.\n\nAND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW MANY OF THEM THEN BREAK OUR LAWS and end up in prison where I am AGAIN paying for them...\n\nWhy do you care what we worry about?  If you too are American and do not worry about it, then I suggest you write your congressman/woman and suggest that people who are in favor of illegals can pay into a fund with their earned money so the rest of us no longer have to.\n\n<< go to any govt care facility in CA - they are NOT ALLOWED TO TURN ANYONE away, SS# or NOT - they cannot even ask for immigration status! - be sure you have all your facts for EVERY state before you say something is stupid.>>

Who do you think did all those jobs before illegals invaded our country?  Maybe those jobs didn't exist, or maybe farmers let their produce rot?  Your argument is illogical and self serving.  The fact of the matter is that employers want these illegals here because they can take advantage of them, and the government who looks out for the interests of the business elite, supports them in this.  They try to play Americans for fools by sending troops to the border and suggesting a guest worker program, which is just a way to ensure a permanent source of cheap labor for these greedy employers.  Illegals will work for wages that no American will work for, and as a result they take jobs from Americans and drive wages down for everybody else.  It's obvious you don't know what you are talking about when you bring up something like doing construction work for $7.50 an hour.  Construction work, just so you know, was a good job that paid a lot more than $7.50 an hour and that employed many Americans, until illegals started swarming our country and doing doing construction for shit wages.  A lot of Americans lost good paying jobs, and contruction companies increased their profits by grotesque proportions.  So don't fool yourself by thinking that illegals are essential.  The only reason they are allowed to come and stay is because they increase the profits of the business elite.  But this can only go on for so long.  At some point, Americans will get so sick of being screwed that these businessmen and their politician buddies who are selling out their counrtry for profits, will have no choice but to stop hiring illegals altogether, and these illegals will have no choice but to go home where they belong.

I thought all those who left to work here would be welcomed as heros when they returned home.  But from what I hear that's not  the case.  Millions have left which means more open space, more food, water, jobs and less crime for those who remained.   One Mexican after being deported returned home, was told by his fellowman that he wasn't welcome, they feared he'd take their job.   Does that sound familiar?  He said he'd head for China.

You are 100% correct.  As soon as the illegals become legal, they will demand more wages.  That puts us right back where we started.

There is no job that americans, or anyone, would not do for the right price.  The markets would adjust, and the price of cheap labor would rise until people would do it.  Realize that there is not a single industry where the majority of manual labor is done by illegal immagants.  Not agriculture (where they are 24% of workers), not construction (14%), cleaning (17%) or any other recognized field.  Note that the statistics I quoted above are from the Pew Hispanic Center, not very conservative.

All these people complain about illegals taking there jobs but who the hell hires them if not people who are trying to save a buck here and there by hiring them for much less money than they know a person who lives here would if illegals knew that it would be a little harder to get a job over here i don't think there would be that many. We have to deal with those people too stop hiring illegals just so you can save a few bucks or stop charging them hundreds of dollars to get them across the illegals aren't the only ones to blame.

President Bush has been dropping the unemployment rate with his new awesome minimum wage jobs. I'm with Rosanne bar. We need to create a maximum wage, I think that will create more job opportunities. Huge corporations will stop exporting jobs because the cheaper labor in other countries won't help them see more profit. They'll keep the jobs here and maybe pay decent wages. I'm talking 100 mill a year. I think that's plenty for one person.

I would hope that they would do what is right, deport all of them that is possible and arrest and put in jail anybody that hires them without proper paperwork. Fine the company's enough so that it is not worth it to them to break the law and pay substandard wages.

Mexicans will work for any amount of money, so what do you think?

Way to go!  Congrats to the friend who got the new job as well!  If the illegals went home, business would be forced to pay a better wage and would entice US citizens to work!
