If the companies are paying meager salaries to the illegal immigrant workers, is it mainly because:

[A] The companies are greedy and want to maximize profit, even at the cost of disgracing their own people

[B] The companies are forced to pay low salaries because of the severe lack of funding to run their business

[C] Same as option B, but the lack of funding is because the funds have been directed towards the Iraq war.

A

As for B and C, if they can not afford to pay their employees, they need to reduce them. Obviously they don't NEED the extra employees since they are doing so poorly. And REALLY, how does the war in Iraq affect the ability for businesses to pay their employees?

Frankly, A is the only realistic option of the ones given.

First off, maximizing profit is not necessarily "greedy", but simple business sense. The lower the wages, the more profit, the longer the business can stay open. Common sense.

Option B makes no sense. Why would a plant open if there were not funds to do so?

Option C is just silly. Businesses are not paying for the war, the government is. That is mostly taxpaying citizens. Corporations get very large tax breaks.

When I first came from China, I had a work visa and a social security number, yet I had no idea what wages were here...working conditions or the laws in California.
I was being paid $30 a day for a 10 hour split shift.
But I soon found out the Boss was havung me (indirectly) pay for HIS 600 series Mercadees (a $50,000 auto)

Pure Greed, taking advantage of immigrants! Sc__w them!
#1 all the way.

yes to A.
Nobody "funds" businesses.
Once again, the gov't doesn't fund businesses (not sure where you are from) and the simple fact is illegal immigration predates the Iraq war by many, may,many decades. hate to upset your little liberal daydream, but illegals have been here a little longer than 5 years. LOL. Try forever.

D) The companies are doing something ILLEGAL. That's why they are called "ILLEGAL" aliens. They should not BE HERE AT ALL. They should be arrested and deported. It's law. We don't need them sucking up American jobs. We do have a high unemployment rate. We don't need their cheap labor to profit big companies anyway.

I've never understood why people even talk about ILLEGAL Aliens! Rights? What Rights? They are illegally here, DEPORT THEM NOW & Secure our borders.

Pure greed. If they had ANY loyalty to this country they wouldn't be hiring illegals. Those companies should be punished and shut down. They are definitely a disgrace to this country.

Yes it's all of the above!
If American companies were not hiring illegal immigrants, then there would be no illegal immigration. Fact is, American business LOVE illegal immigrants, but racists direct all their hate & anger at the poor immigrants not at the businesses hiring them.
