If USA don't want illegal immigrant why they don't stop dealing?

Question

with countries that don't pay fair and have issues with human rights?Instead of sanctioning Sudan,why don't you sanction Mexico and China?Both countries receive yearly complaints from the US government about human rigths and yet you keep dealing with them.Do you think people will be risking thier lifes to cross the border if they had reasonable life in their own country?Do you think buying/manifacturing goods in this countries by US knwoing the people don;t get fair pay contribute to illegal immigration?And at the end - why Cuba but not China?

Answer 1

The goal of the major U.S. capitalists (who run the country) isn't to lessen immigrant labor but rather to promote it. Their real goal is the rolling back of the U.S. labor market to the level of third world status -- which is the only way that the U.S. manufacturers will once again be able to compete on the global market.

The U.S. workers will not be able to win this battle in a globalized economy where capital roams free but labor is provincialized. The only answer for the working class will be world socialism; yet the American worker is still operating under the misconception that capitalism has provided him with a better standard of living. It is not until a majority of the members of the working class realize that it is the fight against capitalism that provides them with a higher standard of living, and that the only way to protect their own interests is to protect the interests of workers all over the world that a valid movement will begin.

This seemingly radical concept is merely an extension of the old labor union battle cry of, "an injury to one is an injury to all." But the U.S. labor union hierarchy will never lead such a movement. The reason is that their own wealth and position of privilege is tied together with the success of U.S. business. This is the reason that, despite the fact that the global economy has expanded aggressively and profits have soared over the past 30 years, the unions have served no other purpose than to negotiate the corporate demands for concessions to their members. Global capital requires a true global labor movement. Such a movement would be the end of capitalism.

DAR,

To promote protectionism is to ignore the reality that capital, at some point, needs to move outside its own sphere. This reality rests at the foundation of imperialism. Without that expansion, capitalism stagnates and profits begin to dry up. This forces capital to retrench and further depresses the ecoonomy. This is the reasoning often used to support the argument that protectionism caused the Great Depression.

Answer 2

USA doesn't want illegal immigration but at lunch hour everyone in DC wants their Taco Salads..their Dry Cleaning..they want their yards cut..and they demand it be done in the fastest cheapest manner..

You have Democrats drooling at the prospect of them becoming legal voters instead of the ones rounded up and bussed to polling places where addresses and ballots already waiting for them

Americans don't want illegals but business owners and government people alike enjoy every last bit of utility they can get in return for a below-market outlay on their part..something has to give..and it better not be rewarding them with Social benefits that brings around a whole new cycle of Gov't calling for more taxes from it's citizens...and instills the same notion that they no longer need to work for a living either..

Answer 3

Their crossing the border illegally to make us subsidize their lives is not OUR fault.

If their countries are a problem, blame them, not us.

However, I'd be thrilled to rip up nafta and the chinese trade agreement and start over. But just as they can't 'control' those in power in their government, we realistically only have so much control over our own.

Renegade X world socialism/communism will only be better for American workers when American livestyles are driven to or BELOW that of workers in China and India. The vast populations involved mean that globalization would level wages until that point, and cause worker populations to compete until they are equally bad. I can see why labor leaders who think they would be at the top of the teeming mass should want to encourage such an end, however, for the workers those labor elites are no better than the corporate elites.

And for workers in the western world, life would get much worse, before labor had power sufficient to leverage against the corporate elite. Until then, there is always someone poorer and hungrier and willing to work harder for less.

The answer, which I never thought I would come to, is protectionism in the Western world. We built it, spend it here, and support local jobs, including local labor.

Answer 4

If you mean that international relationships don't make sense, I agree. As to Mexico or any other country not paying a fair wage, you can start right here in America. There are plenty of jobs in, say, Wyoming, that pay less than half what the same type of job pays in Colorado. There are jobs in Florida that pay less than half what they do in, say, Illinois.
All of this is just a big, political game.
Also, you are saying that people are just like in the fairy tale of the goose who laid the golden egg; they are destroyin what they seek.

Answer 5

If you don't like your country then change . You might have to actually do something for that to happen . If your going to risk your lives for something then risk it for your country . We had to , to have the nation we have today .
Do you think that we are going to just sit back and let people from another country invade and take over the USA , you are mistaken

Answer 6

Seems they would rather cross the border than stay in their own country to improve things at home for themselves.That's lazy.

Answer 7

Lack of spine, the same bone that is missing to deal with employers hiring illegals.

Answer 8

Screw them, if there country is so bad ask for our help. Quit coming to our country and sucking our resources dry. You have presented one of the lamest excuses I have ever seen.

Answer 9

Point well made
