Can someone please tell me HOW the jobs illegals do can be outsourced?

Question

Agriculture, construction, janitorial, landscaping, and food service jobs are location specific, so how can they move to Mexico?

Answer 1

What do "illegal aliens" do that can't be outsourced.The entire world asks this question daily. Outsourced jobs require a demand, Hence "education" have you ever called a.t.&t. and felt like your talking to a 7-11 attendant? That's your answer. good luck... anybody can do the jobs above your speaking of. Want Quality at a fair price?.,hire an american, you can track them down... hire an illegal and if you have a complaint... Good luck with that... you get the point.

Answer 2

Of the ones you mentioned, only agriculture is easily outsourced. If American-grown produce costs twice as much as foreign produce, there will be only organic farms left in the United States and we'll import all the rest of our vegetables. A lot of the landscaping done by illegals just wouldn't be done at the prices it takes for domestic laborers. The same is true of construction. There's more to the picture than just outsourcing. There's also the issue that business will create more jobs when the price of labor is low enough.

Also, in some cases, low cost labor does trim something off the costs of running a business, and it keeps the companies from moving their entire operations abroad, so hiring illegals can sometime prevent a company from outsourcing middle management and other skilled labor. There have also been some high profile raids of factories where there were a lot of illegals, and these people are clearly working in jobs that could be outsourced.

I just don't see, though, why people keep bringing up the "stealing our jobs" argument when unemployment has been low for the last decade. There are more illegal immigrants than unemployed people, so either the immigrants are creating a lot of jobs, or we would be very short of labor if they all left. I could understand if people talked more about a downward pressure on wages as a result of the illegal immigrants coming in, and that would be a worthwhile discussion, but the idea that they're causing unemployment doesn't hold up to any serious investigation.

Answer 3

Agriculture is not location-specific. You have no idea how many crops are shipped from China to the US each and every day.

The other jobs you listed cannot be outsourced unless the entire operation is moved. However, this is relatively easy to do. For example, hiring engineers may cost the same in the US and India. But an engineering company may choose to locate in India because the other workers (janitors, clerks, secretaries, etc.) would be cheaper in India.

Answer 4

I've been saying that for a while. THere are some jobs that can be. Meat cutters are often done by illegal immigrants. Now that we are raiding, some of the companies are hiring Americans again. of What I heard, tehy aren't satisfied and are trying to bring in legal immigrants to do the jobs. SOme of the same articles indicate the employers already decided not to like American workers to start . SOme of these jobs are moving to Mexico, but there is a limit. Frankly when Chicken is frozen and shipped and thawed, it refrozen, the quality goes down. In California, there are a few laws to protect from it, but I don't think it's being enforced anymore.
PIlgrim Pride promise to get rid of their illegal immigrants and hire Americans at their American site, but I think they have atleast two Chicken Processing plant in Mexico.


Edit: Mo it's about $20 billion sent to Mexico.

Answer 5

This illegals working Americans out of their right to work is getting real thin.

Especially when:
Mattel outsources
Microsoft outsources
Dell outsources
Levi Jeans outsource
US car manufacturers outsource

When this happens, someone in Pakistan, China, India and a host of other countries are taking the jobs.

International companies such as, Honda, get free land, no tax.

Americans pay the taxes, from the consumer to the dealer.

I am not talking about Jose', sending $2.50 out of the country south of the border, I am talking about billions of dollars leaving this country, with no protection what so ever for any American.

We have to stop brow beating on that little man, who believed in the fairy story, "Bring us your trodden soul....." Yes Ellis Island has been closed for a long time now, are you helping to shut down what is left of the constitution, maybe not, because I want to believe we're rational when we point the finger.

One finger points out, three point back.

This is a great nation, made up of a great many diverse people, this is a fact I won't forget, you question answerers try to remember, life is not a lottery, it's in the 21st Century.

By example, we show the rest of the world, it was sanctuary when first formed, fought for, and remains sanctuary for the unfortunate, work to bone, believers.

Corporations, they're about taking money, not about prosperity that fosters new generations to make a great country, greater.

Our Kids now have to move to places like Korea to get work, because that is where to American dollar speaks for the American worker.

Just sounding off.

PS, they've just invented the robotic vacuum cleaner, "made in China".

Answer 6

a great amount of American agriculture has already moved to Mexico, Your just sell your farm land to developers and buy farm land in Mexico and plant it. Food service can be produced in Mexico ,frozen and trucked to America for use. pre-fabricated homes can be made in Mexico and shipped to American for on site assembly, etc

Answer 7

The jobs are not leaving the country, the people are coming here illegally to do them. If they want to come here to work, fine, just do it legally is all that I ask.
