If a business was forced to pay at least minimum wage or a competitive wage, stopped paying their CEO's exhurburant amounts of money for not doing much,and paid taxes accordingly instead of getting insane amounts of tax breaks, would jobs that most citizens would not take and illegals would take, seem more appealing for citizens? I don't think it's a question of citizens flat out refusing to work jobs, but it's that businesses don't want to pay for it or give benefits they would have to give an american citizen.

I believe that the blame goes 3 ways...
1) Big business
2) Federal govt
3) The illegals themselves...
and it aint neccessarily in that order either...

yes big business is causing lots of problems with illegal immingration in that they pull the strings and their lackeys in government rush to do the bidding of the master and try to pass amensty so that they can have more illegals to replace more of the legals and not pay any money or grant any benefits but eventually this will all back fire as they are now making things cheap out of country and bringing back in to sell well if you pay slave wages here and none have a good paying job how soon do you think that the product being produced will have to plunge in price so the price to make it overseas soon gets to be more than the public can buy it here for and it becomes what the big corps can not see and that is a lose lose situtation, our kids sadly will pay the price for all these decisions being made today soon we will be a service country whatever that means and produce nothing here so the degree they possess will not be worth the paper it is written on.

You get a A. You understand. If you were plotting the enter a country illegally would you go to a country where you could not get a job if you did have proper documentation? No. You would pick a place that is paying more than you make in your country. Since the average joe does not hire people who else would? Business. I guess the days of making some profit has gone the way of making huge profits.

I believe that fault lies with Mexico itself. There is too much corruption and it is run by the cartels. And there is such a discrepency between rich and poor with virtually no middle class that many people want to come to the US. Because our poor is like their middle class. However, what they do not seem to realize is by doing what they are doing they are making the gap between rich and poor in this country wider and wider with the middle class getting smaller and smaller.
Our version of economics, capitalism is partly to blame too. It is designed for people to make as much money as they can with little oversight. If corporations can look the other way by hiring illegals and make a but load of money because they don't have to pay US citizens a working wage then they are going to do it. It is just smart business to increase your and your share holders profits. Which is what their job is. And with our govenment looking the other way for so long it fostered it.
So you have all of this that combines to make Illegal Immigration attractive to businesses and the illegals that come over.
However what I find that is disconcerting is that there is what 20 million illegal aliens currently in this country. And if even half of them were only from Mexico (even though it is more like 90%) you have ten to 19 million people that have left their country to come here. 19 million and most yell and preach "viva mexico" "viva la raza" so on and so forth. But they do not have the "huevos" to stay in their country and try to win it back. 19 million people is a revolution. It is a voting block, it is enough people to tell the cartels to get out. But they come to the US and expect our government to compensate them for not fighting for their own country.
Why? Why should the US do anything for you? Do it for yourself, go home and make your country your own again. Make your country the kind of country americans would want to cross the border for. Stop bitching and whining about how americans are racist and out to deprive you of something you think you deserve. You do deserve something, you deserve your own country. 19 million people, for crying out loud, Pancho Villa must be rolling in his grave to see what his people have become.

Businesses are giving in to illegals for their low salaries and this must not be tolerated to solve the problem of illegal immigration.

If you are looking to place blame, place blame everywhere it belongs consistently: both the illegals and the employers.
If illegals weren't here to begin with, the employers wouldn't hire them.
If the employers didn't hire them, the illegals would stop coming.
Both are equally 100% in the wrong. Don't cut one slack for the other. Blame them both.

Your questions are predicated on a lot of 'ifs' that establish the basis of your question. So you're not really inclined to believe any answer that would contradict your preconception.
Please feel free to continue believing as you do. You decide whether that supports your position or opposes it.
