Re: Immigration

NO NO NO. :twak: They are getting jobs because they work for LESS than minimum wage. Companies cannot pay legal residents LESS than minimum wage, but they can pay illegals under the table whatever they want. This has nothing to do with qualification and everything to do with the almighty buck. As someone pointed out before, companies are a major component of this problem.

That is very true. At a professional level job though.....possible, but very doubtful. The illegal aliens probably work in 80% of the jobs that start you off at minimum wage anyhow. So unless your someone getting a job for the first time, or a teenager looking for work, i wouldn't be but so concerned. If i were a U.S. citizen on the same social status as an illegal alien, i would probably be more concerned. I said earlier i work in the construction business, and i see first hand what your talking about. I was doing a huge commercial drywall job last month and it was coming down to crunch time to get the job finished. There was a lot of difficult work that still needed to be done and my own boss hired a group of mexicans to come in and finish the job! I swear, they did what would have taken us a week to do, in 2 days!!! I know for fact my boss didnt pay them what they would have deserved either. From a business owners standpoint, you cant beat it. None of the people that work for him including me were upset with that decision at all. We got to take a break from work, save ourselves from doing an extremely hard job, and we get to move on to our next job site earlier. No money was lost. Since the begining of this country everyone has always been looking for ways to save money or make a quick buck. Be an Entrepreneur, go take out a loan, start your own business and hire mexicans. Pay them below minimum wage and you will make a good profit. Sounds like a good idea to me? This is a dog eat dog society.

I don't think you would find a lot of illegal aliens at a professional level. It is hard to fly under the radar with a high profile professional job. Also, as pointed our earlier, the professionals get moved to the front of the line.
