Illegal aliens are not cheap labor, Is spending billions dollars for a $ 1 head of lettuce worth it?

Question

For people who just want a better life to many are being arrested, that alone is costing us billions a year.Billions are spend just on their medical costs,the cost to schools is astounding,the cost of sex offenders is costing us billions. This is not cheap labor. All you toilet lovers out there spare me only illegals clean them.

Answer 1

I agree.My son cleans the filthy toilets at Wal-Mart.Funny how everyone in his maintenance department is a white American male...kinda blows the theory that only the illegals will do this kind of work.
They cost us far more than they benefit us.I would be willing to pay more for my produce if it meant the job was being filled by an American being paid a decent wage.

Answer 2

NO one has EVER cleaned my toilets but ME. I have cleaned others, though.

Without illegal aliens, the price of agricultural products and other goods and services will NOT soar. The definitive study on this subject is the University of Iowa's "How Much Is That Tomato?" The study concludes that 'since labor is such a small component of the end-price of agricultural products (which includes price to the growers, transportation costs, processing /storage costs, grocers' profit, etc.), using minimum wage workers instead of illegal aliens would increase prices of agricultural products by approximately 3 percent in the summer and 4 percent in the winter ... hardly the making of $10 heads of lettuce, $25 hamburgers, $1,000 per night Days Inn hotel rooms like the pro-illegal alien lobby claims.

Answer 3

While I agree with you, I question you on this matter: our descendants all came from other countries, did they not? We are not exempt from that reality. The Native Americans were here WAY before any members of most of our families! Let's just think about that. I would say that many whites, blacks, Asians, and people of other races can be considered a drain on the US, as well, however, they were permitted to be born or gain citizenship to the US. Think about this, if becoming an illegal alien was the only chance you saw to improve your life, or even survive, would you not take the chance? Don't answer hastily....think about it, for real, you may just change your view, even if just a little bit. Don't blame the illegal alien. They know no better in many cases! It's all about survival! Why not educate them and create opportunity to be a part of our society that contributes to our country positively? Let's solve the problem and try to understand, instead of trying to condemn! Remember, understanding makes tolerance unnecessary. Try to understand more...your life will be much more quality, I guarantee it!

Answer 4

If they are here illegally then only unscrupulous people are going to take advantage of that.

I wish I had pity for them but I don't if they don't like it then they should go home. Nobody is forcing them to work here.

Answer 5

Fact is....native americans are the real americans, we are just americans that came from the pilgrims and indians.
so, what difference does it make.
humans are humans.
