Are employers to blame for so many illegal workers coming here?

Question

I mean if these people didn't find what they came to look for (jobs) they wouldn't come, right?

Answer 1

Duh, maybe. Providing jobs for them is just one factor. A lazy, incompetent government is the main reason along with cities like Los Angeles, Detroit, Newark, etc.. that elect retards for a Mayor who subsequently declares local government will not concern themselves with immigration status.

Answer 2

It starts with our government not enforcing the laws they passed.
When you don't enforce a law nobody abides by it. After awhile they don't even think they are going anything wrong.

If you went to work for a company and they paid you $1 an hour and you didn't complain or quit. Did they break the law?

Also, why would they hire someone at a higher wage when they have someone who will work for less and not complain.

It is no different then buying a item. Why pay $25 for an item when you can get it for $10. It all has to do with the bottom line MONEY.
As long as our government doesn't enforce the laws they passed American workers loss.
There is not a job out there that can't be effected. Anyone that doesn't believe that is living in denial. We are all replaceable.

Answer 3

Absolutely they are responsible. Look how many people in the housing industry are getting rich from the cheap labor. Watch those shows on cable about flipping houses. They are hiring ilegal workers to do all of the work. There is no way you could make so much money if you had to pay a legitimate carpenter.

I am not saying that they don't do a good job. I am just saying that Americans are as much to blame as the immigrants who sneak in.

Answer 4

Yes, any employer who hires, harbors or helps illegal immigrants is to blame for the problem. Also, the government is to blame for failure to enforce the laws of the land. The fact that foreigners are buying up lots of our businesses is also part of the problem as their hiring, pricing and other practices would come under jurisdictional questions. It's time to require all businesses to abide by US laws ,foreign owned or not. If they don't want to abide by US law, we should seize the businesses and kick them out of the country. That would be fair. We can't have a country of laws if we don't enforce them and we can't have an effective Constitution if everyone isn't under its jurisdication and protection. Corporations buying up our farms are a huge part of the problem as well. When these greedy corps put family farmers out of business, they actually price normal people out of the market and the corporations are the ones who scream the loudest that they can't get citizens to work on the farms. It couldn't be because they deliberately work to avoid hiring U.S. Citizens and it couldn't be because they are foreign owned, could it? I say I'd rather suffer for a few days, months, years, while the country restabilizes after all the illegal immigrants are arrested, detained, deported, imprisoned and the corporations and businesses that hire, harbor and help them are punished to the fullest extent of the law than give up our soverignty to a bunch of lawless people and groups who will end up ruining everything.

Answer 5

Only partially.

They come for many reasons, jobs is only one of them.

Many come here to commit crimes or to deliver drugs. About 80% or more of all meth comes from/through mexico.

Many come here to give birth. Once their child is a citizen they feel that deportation will be much harder. That child is an instant citizen and eligable for WIC, welfare, housing, food stamps, etc.

Many come here for our schooling. Our schools are far superior then mexicos. The cost is over $10,000 per illegal per year that WE pay for.

Many come here for our medical. They can walk into any emmergency room and get taken care of without any hassles or debt.

Many come here for our social programs. Some states are very open with handing out benefits to illegals. Other states require proof of citizenship/residency.

Many come here to join the highly prolific gangs like ms-13.

They all need to go back from where they came from.

Answer 6

in this state (MI), migrants are sorely needed to reap the fruit orchards and blueberry fields. each physique is attentive to many are illegals, yet no-one cares to enforce the guidelines. If it wern't for the migrants, the crop could be lost and farms could be out of company. The state tried a artwork application for unemloyed voters a pair years in the past. Unemployed have been presented the roles. no longer one person lasted for extra advantageous than a million week. Face it, individuals won't do those jobs.

Answer 7

Yes, very much so, they actually want illegals here because they will work for much less than Americans will. They also don't have to pay them benefits. They pay illegals much less than they would pay an American. They big corporations actually lobby congress to allow the illegals to come here. There are holes in the fences on the US-Mexican border that have been there for years and border patrol is specifically told to stay away from them. I know this sounds like conspiracy theory but it is proven.

Answer 8

They are part to blame. Big corporations are to blame too. They influence the federal government with large donations, and they tell the govt not to close our borders, because they know they can get cheap labor. They also influence the media by telling Americans that illegals are the only ones that will do these jobs. Thats crap!!! There are thousands if not millions of Americans that will take those jobs to support their families.

Answer 9

The employers are responsible at least for illegals STAYING here. I cannot understand why they (the employers of illegals) are not arrested and put into prison. That strategy on a large scale would resolve all problems with illegals.

Answer 10

Partially. Don't forget the governments that let it go unchecked (Mexico's and ours) and the illegal workers themselves, though. There's plenty of blame to go around.
