I do believe that people shouldn't be here illegaly...Does the problem lie with the farmers in Colorado not wanting to pay the price...Or the fact that if they do pay the price for a "legal' work force their products will cost too much...Or will they no longer be competitive with the price of foriegn produce? Are Americans willing to pay more for goods and services provided by a legal worf force?
Or is the problem that..... there really is no problem? Meaning Who hass actually been affected by this plague of "illegals"...I seem to get quality healthcare...I don't see people bitching while watching Hispanics work and saying..."God, I would love to have that guys job!...I don't see the crime rate escalating due to illegal immigration.
People are bitching about crime.... In Chicago it has gone down! Crime rates are numbers...not percentages which are hard to believe.
I think people should come here by legal means or should be returned immediately...But I don't see this issue has having much relevance or effect on very many of us.
I just think it is just the latest "thing" for people to blame for their "lot in life.".....
Domiguy, the farmers either pay the price for going rates of local labor or their crops rot in the fields.
Last time I checked I didn't realise that Farmers were exempt from the laws of economics, supply and demand, or capitalism.
I have to laugh at people who think that farmers who use illegal aliens are "passing along the savings to the consumer," ah,...they're NOT!
They put that money in their pockets! Wouldn't you?
In capitalism if you can't find labor at a certain rate of pay you raise that rate of pay until you can get help.
You don't hire foreign nationals who've snuck into our country and will work for less than American Citizens which is a federal felony by the way.
If I were a Farmer or Contractor and I found out that my competition were using illegal aliens I'd rat them out in a New York minute! I'd go to the Prosecutor's office, state police, and Immigration office personally with pictures etc. Then I'd have all their work and send them a post card in federal prison.
If you're in business that's what you want to be doing anyway, eliminating your "competition!"
The thing is how does Homeland Security or whoever it is these days think that they can run a "guestworker" program when they have 623,552 criminal aliens on the loose that they can't find?
I think that that empty suit was deliberately lying!
Govt agencies don't want additional responsibilities with no more money to operate on.
His testimony just tells me that the big business lobbyists have gotten to him.
And, I'm sick and tired of hearing people in government comming out with excuses why they can't do their jobs!
I think that being a Farmworker should be a career in the U.S.
Fresh air, excercise, a benefits package, and $16-$20 per hour is better than working in a 7/11 for $9 per hour, right?
