Oh really? Just what are these crap jobs that most Americans supposedly won't do and why should they not expect a fair pay with some benefits? Americans won't do construction, landscaping and restaurant work? Since when? Illegal aliens flooded those jobs and low balled the wages. They aren't undocumented immigrants either they are illegal aliens. For farm work there are unlimited visas for legal, foreign workers. So you were saying? The problem is some greedy employers who want to exploit illegal workers to increase their profits while they and their illegal workers stab the American worker in the back while breaking the law.

We aren't stupid. We know that's the same reason that these illegal aliens are picked up in front of Home Depot. I know of an establishment here where illegal aliens hang out to be picked up for work. I have called the proper authorities and they won't do anything about it. Seems like our government, the employers and these illegal aliens have no respect for our laws or the American worker/taxpayer. We need new blood in the White House and congress that will enforce our laws and put Americans first. The question is why don't you care? What's your agenda?

It's also nonsense to claim that prices for goods would go up much without illegal alien labor. In fact when you factor in the enormous social costs that are passed unto we the taxpayer by their presence here they are no bargain at all. We are probably paying more for a product/service by them being here.

And then reality sets in...

Chipotle Investors Seek OK For Deal Over Illegal Hirings - Law360



There are dozens of similar examples. All you need to be legal is a SSN and an ID. My state now issues them to illegals, as do five other states. A SS card can be purchased for $100. If an employee provides me with a SSN and a license, I have to accept them in good faith. My I9 compliance is complete.

The quick answer is E-Verify. The democrats oppose it vehemently.

Funny, that's what the right has been warning you about all along and all you did was attack them when they did. Hey, you wanted to parrot the liberal talking points. Enjoy the fall out of your blindness.

See it benefits big banks to keep you poor and on the government dole. And do you think for a min they are going to give that up.
Big food, big sugar and big grocer also lobbies in favor of SNAP.

JP Morgan, big food, big sugar and big grocer employ a heck of a lot of middle class people.

Then there are the shareholders which include 401K and other retirement monies from the middle class.

The states are responsible for administering welfare programs and employ middle class workers.

Same deal with the military industrial complex.

Not only that but the House GOP introduced a bill this year to implement e-verify across the board and end birthright citizenship for their kids. Two of the biggest incentives for them to come here. Think the Democrats will sign either bill? I think we know the answer to that one.

Democrats would rather allow a bunch of people come in undocumented which allows people, many who are not interested in working to come in, you know, the criminals.

What the hell did you expect? Let's just say, you've been warned and you ignored the warnings because of your blindness to the Democratic party.

Uh, yes you are, you supported it because Democrats told you it is good, now suffer the consequences of your choice.

The American Middle Class is old news and we are not needed as consumers in a global economic system.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, is it?
