what do most people believe about the impact of illegal immigration?

Question

I work in the construction industry possibly the hardest hit sector of what used to be a lukarative legal american buisness! I have seen so many people I have known work a lifetime to build buisneses, lives, homes, and start families only to see it all undermined by illegal immigrant labor! john the brick mason, gone! joe the concrete guy, gone! sam the tile setter, gone! kevin the painter, gone! kieth the landscaper, gone! and just recently, john the framer, gone! These are the people who buy your products, employ your services, and in the end drive your personal economy no more!!
Did you know that? what do you think?

Answer 1

I think illegals should be deported once and if they re enter illegally they should be shot! Give them one chance to get out and come back legally. but don't waste my tax money doing it again. also employers that get caught hiring illegals should be fined heavily. Also for everyone who wants them here, pay extra for them and you support them. Hey right below me. Free market should not include people that are breaking the law just by being here. Thats not free market. do some research!

Answer 2

Yes I know that and lived that.
My state has the highest unemployment rate and yet illegals are flowing here and being hired before legal citizens.
It is not because we do not want to work or want those jobs.
It is because employers are looking to make a quick buck by hiring illegals.

This is happening all over the USA. Still our government is lying to us about the state of our economy.
I believe unemployment rates are actually much higher.

I have applied at several jobs that advertise openings, only to find the ad runs continuously so that the employer looks like the are making an effort to hire Americans, when in fact they are employing illegals. They are trying to cover their butts!
But have no intention on hiring legal Americans that are very qualified to perform the job.
I also believe the mortgage crisis is due to unemployment not the sub prime interest rates, as the " government tells us".
I have two foreclosures on my street and it is due to unemployment. I know for a fact if these illegals were not here there would be plenty of opportunities for legal Americans. Many would not have lost their homes!
I would like to see Immigration Reform Groups put out petitions to put the issue on the ballot. Let the people vote.
Like no state aid to illegals, no drivers liecenses to illegals, no free college to illegals, employers must varify social security numbers, fines on employers for hiring illegals.

There would be enormous support for this in my state it would pass by a landslide! The silent majority would come out in droves to vote on these issues!

This government maybe be able to brainwash a few but the majority sees what is real. This is happening all over the USA. We have great power in numbers if only we were more organized.
Look up and support your states Immigration Reform Groups.
We need to circulate more information to the masses. Millions of elderly Americans will support us but they " Don't do the internet".
I believe putting these issues on the ballot and having the people vote is the best way to resolve this illegal immigration crisis!

Answer 3

Very unfavourable, even though evidently like a great to those who do no longer understand how the economic equipment works. the main reason wages have not saved up with something of inflation, which has no longer been increasing at an particularly quickly p.c.. settle for while in comparison with wages, is the lifestyles of a much lower priced unlawful artwork stress. organization proprietors have not got any incentive to pay aggressive salaries to legal workers while their opposition is hiring unlawful workers and undercutting their bids on jobs. They then would desire to place stress on their workers to the two settle for decrease wages, flow years without considerable salary will boost, or get replaced, and often they are replaced in the long-term besides.

Answer 4

I have no problem with anyone willing to follow our very lenient rules. This country has held open arms for people of every race and nation.
But the people coming here must agree to respect the Constitution of the United States, and all laws in accordance with it. Otherwise they are enemies of the state and need to be detained or deported. Simple, huh?

Answer 5

I think they should be much more aggressive in finding the illegal immigrants and send them packing, I am sick of having them take our jobs, our health care, and trying to take our social security that they never put a dang dime into

Answer 6

I build houses in LA, California and everyone is illegal. Everyone! 15 Years ago, there used to be a lot of blacks and whites. I haven't seen a black person in construction in years and all I ever see is illegals. I'm lucky to see a white person anymore.

Answer 7

I think they should be much more aggressive in finding the illegal immigrants and send them packing, I am sick of having them take our jobs, our healthcare, and trying to take our social security that they NEVER put a dang dime into! Either ship them out or SHip them to War , their choice, if they want to live here, let them fight for it like our forefathers did, They didn't get it for free and neither should those peices of crap that don't respect our laws, our language or anything else......ugggggg just pisses me off.......

Answer 8

Free market.....what an uneducated joke....the government is involved..... immigration is government controlled. Thus it cannot be considered a free market.

To answer the question.
My experience exactly.....just change the guys names.
