Its is my belief that the illegal immigrants keep up our salaries by doing making labor industries run?

Question

while receiving low salaries. It means we get paid more with better benefits, and they get paid less with no benefits. It is my belief also that they should receive free medical benefits since they are not provided to them, and since theyre low pay doesnt allow them to pay for these medical benefits.

What is your opinion on this?

Lucky,

You are wrong sir, to begin with no college educated or intelligent American will leave a descent job with benefits to go to a labor sector where they will be required to do hard and repetitive labor, while they could be in an office setting in hundreds of other sectors.

Take a look a this idiots before you question my authority on this subject.

If stupid drug addicted young uneducated Americans with no drive or motivation loose jobs to illegals its their fault for having no ambition.

Answer 1

Actually its just the opposite. They cause wage regression because they work for lower wages employers do not need to raise wages to attract workers.

Answer 2

This is totally backwards, and the facts show only those who are very wealthy profit from the illegal labor practices. Even with fines, the corporations come out ahead. Most of the middle class jobs are being eliminated or frozen at a certain ceiling.
Facts are plain to see if you dare to compare. Let's take the wonderful world of Congress and Senate. These entities have the opportunity to vote a raise for themselves! Now, devoted as they are to the people, you would think someone should get the bright idea of tying their raises to increases in minimum wage, but no. Nobody has even hinted at not getting a raise. In fact one recent year the senate gave themselves two raises, while minimum wage has not been raised since 1997, nearly a decade!
Why? It is just too easy to become an undocumented worker. You can even tell them to their face they should not be here, yet one will always jumps in your trunk to work for you. It is pathetic! They don't care to create a revolution, and provide themselves with a Mexico they can be proud of.
As for paying their bills, think again. The hospitals and doctors pass unpaid bills onto the bills of those who do pay, increasing office visits an procedures, and so insurance companies who suddenly pay them more think "we can't afford this and show a huge profit!". So they in turn raise their premiums and their co-pays turn into percentages instead. They turn to treat symptonms and not the root of the problem. Anything to get the patient out of there and back to work. They do not care about people, and push any new drug the rep gives them. Citizens can afford the new expensive drugs, while they give free treatment to those who would take American money back home to spend it. I hope you now see how much we have to thank the illegal alien criminals for.

Answer 3

I hope that is a real picture of you as an icon cause that is how stupid you are.

First off you don't make higher wages cause they work here, the company and the owners of the companies make higher wages and higher profits.

Next since you do not profit at all from them, why would you now want to pay higher health care, taxes and other items from your weekly check to pay for people that are here illegally and are not contributing to society nor paying taxes themselves.

So what you have said here, is that you wish to make the same money you do now, let more of them come here and you still don't make anymore BUT the amount taken from your check in taxes and fee's will increase and increase and increase as more and more come in. Meaning you will make less and less and less.

Now add on lets say you lose your job....you go looking for a new job but nothing is available but low paying labor jobs that only the mexicans are doing. Now what? You are screwed cause that is all you will make as that is all the company will pay.

All this over time creates what we as a society fought to get away from in the old days. Remember a caste, King and then all the peasants? So you want to be a peasant huh? Move to mexico then.....we don't need your ignorant type in America.

Answer 4

You are so WRONG!! They take jobs at third world wages, when an American would do the same job at the wages we in the USA are accustomed to making. WE are NOT a third world country!! OUR wages should be better than third world wages!! They DEPRESS our wages and they take more than fruit and veggie picking jobs!! They are given jobs WE worked and they are PAID less and WE are LAID OFF!! ILLEGALS should not even be in the USA taking our jobs at slave wages to begin with!!!

Also, all American workers are not college educated. Many were doing fine in their manufacturing jobs working for $14-$16 per hour,. Then they got laid off or their jobs got outsourced and the jobs opening up only pay $8/hour. Why?? Because they are hiring ILLEGALS!! That is WRONG!!

Answer 5

Lover Boy ,
You forgot to read the second half of the first sentence....
"some low skilled workers have been hurt."

Where else do you think 16 & 17 year old AMERICANS are going
to gain experience in the work force? At 14 tears of age I baled hay, picked watermelons, and scrubbed a few toilets too.
I force my children to do chores for pay, to train them what the real world is like. When they come of age, I want them to have
the same opportunity to learn the value of hard work that I did.
I DO NOT want the jobs they ARE skilled enough to do taken
by ILLEGAL INTRUDERS.

Answer 6

You are vastly wrong partner. 1st off they infact lower pay to the midle class workers. Employers who once had to offer nice pay and benifits to get workers to come to work for them now are flooded with workers wanting jobs. They thus raise probuction work for their employes or do not give yearly raises for adusted cost of living. In my area employers have been doing this for 10 years. 2nd our economy has been going down here for a long time now. They are not the main problem with our economy but they do hurt it severly. Illegals send aprox 70% of their pay back to mexico there for that is vast amounts of money that are no longer circulating in our economy, making jobs here have higher demand for products. 3rd the free medical benegits are rediculas. I am going to be layed off in little over a month. In order to keep my current insurance it is going to cost me $900 a month. Unemployment is only going to be $800. I have children and I ask you how am I to provide insurace for them while I try and find another job. It is winter now and we won't have the money to buy heating gas or keep our elctricity. Why do they decerve free medical when american citizens don't. I work with several illegal's at my curent job and they are all ready using the free medical system. How is this fair when we both make the same amount of money. I have kids and they have kids. Why do they decerve this when I don't? You must truely study up on these issues in order to make a releveant question. This here is not even close to the truth.

Answer 7

Illegal immigrants are a direct drain on the economy. For one simple fact. the money sent to their families in Mexico. Western Union is a pipeline used to drain cash that would have been spent in the USA.
Also a problem is the fact that illegal, Mexican men living in my city
provide a customer base for an explosion in the prostitution business. The money the hookers get goes directly to drug dealers thus creating a whole new problem.

Answer 8

I am sorry you do not understand economics. Please take an economics class or read an economics for dummies book. Once you understand how the economy works then come back and we can have a clear conversation about this. More people with no education = lower wages.

Answer 9

It is my belief that you are not as cool as I thought you were, If you want to support the invasion of MY country by hordes of instant criminals go stand with the protesters getting killed in mexico by their government because mexico refuses to grant a living wage for its profesionals. I am sure your squeeky sackless voice will be heard there.

Answer 10

It's good that you mention drugs, because drug addiction in america is a problem that Mexico is willing to profit by. Get everybody hooked on drugs, then sneak into the country while they're all stoned...LOL

Answer 11

AGREED !!

Additionally, South American illegal immigrants abandon $34 BILLION every year in taxes, Social Security, and revenues that they cannot collect... (remember, employers have fake ID's and payroll deductions so they themselves don't pay a higher tax rate)

Did WE count on our "government" to remind us of this?

I recommend everybody studies this immigration issue looking for facts and not opinions for about 3 months before making up their mind about something they heard from the Easter Bunny...

Thanks for your question and sharing your clarity.
Best Wishes...
