RE: So you don't like borders? You don't think immigration and travel to your country should be restricted in the name of freedom?

The American worker can't compete with people willing to live two to three families to a household at substandard wages. Illegals think that seven fifty an hour is good money and in a lot of instances the mother is collecting food stamps for the kids by telling them dad lives in Mexico while he is really across town at his job, grandma sitting at home babysitting the kids while mom is working a part time job collecting benefits. Most have infiltrated the manufacturing arena through temporary employment agencies using false identification and social security cards, Americans can't compete with low wage workers accepting substandard wages in exchange for their labor and willing to live at a disadvantage to the American worker.

Sort:  

Well due to minimum wage and such American Workers that are CITIZENS and LEGAL are not permitted to accept wages less than minimum wage though many of them would to survive.

So if illegal immigration is permitted, and encouraged the Illegals also have a benefit that they've already broken the law coming here. They now get to use actual free market contractual negotiation when the legal citizens are not allowed to do this.
