Without the cheaply employed "wetbacks" our meat processing industry would effectively collapse as their product would become unaffordable for most of our citizens. So would all the rest of the businesses that barely survive with underpaid workers. The primary reason there are so many "illegal" immigrants is the business community wants them here because they can be coerced into working for nearly free. Illegals are good for business.
Standard liberal whine. In Georgia, the Feds raided a meat packing plant and hauled all away the illegal aliens working there. The US citizens filled all those jobs in a working day.
We have loads of convicts. Cheap labor. Reduced sentences if they pick chiles and such.
Nonsense, with less workers especially those willing to work for less aka illegal aliens the employers would be forced to pay a fair wage. They'd rather cut their profits then go out of business. Yes, illegals are ONLY good for businesses but a complete burden to the rest of us. These greedy employers pass their social costs on to we the taxpayer also while passing to little to nothing in savings on to we the consumer but instead just pocketing the extra profits.
They will try and pass the cost to the consumer to keep their profit margins high.
What they will run into is, the demand will go down. They will have to drop their pricing and cut profit margins, to sell product.
There comes a point, where it is break even. That is when the business goes out of business.

Same thing happened at Mohawk Carpet mills in Dalton Georgia.
Employer sanctions, or a slap on the wrist?
Seize the assets of the business!!! Set an example and self deportation in MASS, would ensue.
Not a dime of tax payer money spent. No separation of families.
This is a thumb to the eye of the middle class whom he claims to represent. Not enough jobs, wages too low at the bottom of the scale? I know, let's let in millions of unskilled laborers, that should help.
Eisenhower did not have widespread use of drugs throughout the nation to deal with, nor did he have Mexican cartels smuggling drugs and people into the country. I.m gonna guess that most illegals were employed in agriculture, as opposed to now, when they permeate the hospitality industry (hotel staff) pick up labor for skilled and unskilled construction, and as has been discussed, many other industries. Another difference is that employer employed American, rather than ship labor overseas. Also, with the highest marginal tax rates in the 80 and 90 percent range (there were something like 45 tax brackets back then)
An entirely different country with entirely different wants and needs on the part of all.

Which means Obama has even more serious concerns today, which should motivate him even more than Eisenhower, to secure our borders.
But no, a steady supply of cheap labor for greedy corporations and Democratic Party campaign donors is more important to Obama.

Yep.....He knew in advance how much damage allowing illegals in would be-
Yet he did it anyways....
It's beyond impeachable.

Funny thing about living in a an area where unions are still strong, especially in the trades, is that there is very little noticeable immigrant labor for construction and services work. The carpenters, boilermakers, service workers, grocery clerks, etc... won't tolerate it.
