I believe that. Also, with our population always increasing due to illegal immigration it makes people less picky about the wages they will accept, as any job is better than no job. We have pretty much been conditioned to accept it as the 'way it is' and deal with it. All but the elite will be working for slave wages sooner than you think. Don'tcha just love progress! We'll stamp out that nasty 'racism' if we all have to starve to do it!

Yes downward pressure on wages is a key goal of illegal immigration support in our corrupt government.
They do this because the restaurant industry and big agriculture in California need a CONTINUED flow of illegals.
What happens is that once the murderous rapist drug dealing ilelgals like Jose the child rapist and college student killer here:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/10/schoolyard.killings/index.html?iref=newssearch
get situated and on welfare or dealing drugs in New Jersey then these influential but corrupt businesses needs more of latin America's rural poor to come and work for beans. The ones who were here first are already making higher wages so it is a never ending cycle.
The goal of the president and sell outs like Trent Lott is to pretend that this is a tough problem and just keep the door open forever all the while whinning about what a tough problem it is.
Pro-illegals are mostly illegals themselves or were given shamnesty (or their parents were) under Reagan. The rest are typically nut job bleeding hearts that don't understand or live in reality.
Pro-illegals need to come to grips with the huge and bloody crime wave sweeping the country. The reality is that since these child rapists, murderers, and all illegals killing people drunk driving are not supposed to be here that each and every victim would not have suffered these painful deaths and ruined lives if it were not for all the illegals.
Pro-illegals therefore are welcoming child rapists and murderers into our country each and every single day but won't take responsibility for what their support of illegals is causing: dead Americans and ruined families.

I believe that illegal immigration is about keeping the wages down. It is also about breaking up the American Industries in this country, and Breaking up the Union Industries.
I'd like to know where they think those Americans are going to feed, house, clothe, work, get medical care, etc... if we keep allowing this to snowball.
I thought I hated how the American government ran this country before. Can you imagine just how much more I have grown to hate the way they are, and have been running things today. I'll be put behind federal bars just for saying it. Who'll come visit me if they allow you to? I'd show you just how fed up I am with them... but they didn't give me any hands to put above my head for my avatar pic.

Illegal aliens tend to make minimum wage. I don't think that they keep the wages down, I think the type of work is unskilled, and keeps the wages down.
Who would benefit from unskilled labor keeping low wages? Farmers, fast food, restaurants, laborers. I think that tends to benefit the consumers as well as the businesses.
The only thing I see the government doing is raising minimum wage..that's what they seem to be "up to".
Illegals don't tend to hurt the economy by working at their jobs at the low rate of pay, it's the strain they put on the overall system that causes the difficulty (healtcare, public education, welfare).

Cheap labor, America and big business can't or don't want to make it with out it . They have always had an underclass in America and the rich want to keep it that way. A pool of people who have no choice but to do their bidding at their price its more like slave labor because they are being paid under the table and don't pay taxes on their less then 5.00 dollar & hour jobs.

That would require between 12 and 20 million people being in on that plan.
This isn't a case of "If you build it they will come" IMO.
They came in because Washington DC has been in a coma for the past 20 years thanks to the Ted Kennedy "amnesty" program.
It's more a case of "Well, we solved that, let's go see what else we can fix."
Collectively the people in D.C. both now and in the past couldn't fix a burned out light bulb because they would argue about what kind of bulb to get, which way to unscrew it, and what kind of ladder to use. The result would be the bulb remaining burned out while all the above went to various committees for study and focus groups.
People need to really look at who they are electing and re-electing.
Edit:
Most definitely, and results in American jobs being lost and sent south of the border as well resulting in companies being hurt and losing yet more jobs. I can cite an instance here:

That said....who approved NAFTA and made it law?

based on personal experience I dont think so, I think people are just less committed to do a lower skilled job. I mean whats the motivation working minimum wage or just a little higher.
I have seen it with my parents business...we pay our guys a beginning 8-9/hour for training for the first couple of months. If we see that he learns and if he is committed then he will get 10-12/hour or more. Nobody is irreplaceable...
I think there is a great misconception that everyone is supposed to get the highest pay first. Nobody is willing to work for it or commit to it.

No it's Bushes way to keep the American public looking in the other direction away from the war and all things that he has screwed up and to keep them occupied with trivial things that really do not matter.

Well, sort of. But not really. Big businesses get politicians elected and they want to have cheap labor. Therefore, they push the politicians to not do anything about illegal immigration because it is better for their business. Simple, no?
