Without immigrants, our farms would fail.
Other industries that employ immigrant workers would also fail.
Americans aren't tripping over themselves to do those jobs.
Then why doesn't every country in the world have an open-borders policy? Or even a policy that is similar to our nonsense?
Your wages are dependent upon your work ethic. More lies as usual the ignorant Trumpers. Now the Trumpers are looking for more lazy, non working people to join them
No one has the right to hire illegal aliens no matter how hard they "seem" to work. They have reduced wages by working for less. They all need to be deported and wages will rise for hard working Americans.
Then why doesn't every country in the world use this, "Everyone who isn't a criminal will be a made a citizen of our country" nonsense?
Because a lot of countries have enough xenophobes to make it politically easier to have immigration restrictions of varying degrees. It has nothing to do with economics.

No, it's because your ideas are f#$ckin' stupid. You want more Democrat voters, and that's all that it's about.
So as a business owner you should also understand that when the government "injects" money in to the economy by raising federal minimum wage, the costs to run your business also increase.
Business owners compensate for those increase in cost to run their businesses by raising the cost of product sold to their consumer.
So that increase in fed minimum wage seems like a win until those folks see the cost of groceries, clothing, booze, rent, etc., also increase ...and then they are back to where they started from.
Same happens when the government imposes tariffs on imported goods.

We have unlimited visas for legal, foreign workers to do farm work and illegal aliens aren't "immigrants"! Only 2% of illegals are working on farms while the rest took once good paying jobs from Americans such as construction work. No problem hiring legal immigrants but hiring illegal aliens is against the law. If a company can't survive unless they break the law then they need to go out of business. There aren't any jobs that Americans won't do for a fair wage. Who do you think were doing them before millions of cheap illegals flooded our border? I don't recall businesses failing all over the country before that when they used American workers. Know WTH you are talking about before you spout nonsense! Illegal aliens cost over $100 billion a year they are no bargain for most Americans.
What ideas of mine do you think are "stupid?" And what, precisely, is "stupid" about them?
Just letting anyone who isn't a violent criminal become a citizen of your country is stupid. The rest of the world knows this. That's why they don't have that policy.
