Well I use facts like news stories. Politicians use emotions to ramp up their bases.

I happen to know of two industries my family is in that have high numbers of illegal labor.

If you do a job that isn't very technical and don't have to interact directly with the public you can be replaced by an illegal alien.

I don't mind people coming her to better themselves. I think the employer has to prove that they couldn't find an American that will do the job for reasonable wage (who figures out what a reasonable wage would be I have no clue) then we can talk. Right now though it's not that way. It's do what you want to make as much money as you can, Americans be damned. Just please buy our stuff even though you aren't employed

I think companies are using cheap illegal labor to try and combat cheap labor in China.

Sure, but you need to define "couldn't find an American to do the job" very clearly, otherwise you're asking them to prove a negative -- nm - Roger More Jul 4, 10:27 3
- I know that HRSDC up here has a list of occupations that they issue work visa's for this very reason.... - Walt_Disney Jul 4, 10:46
- Affirmative action programs do that all the time. -- nm - Bacon Jul 4, 10:29 1
  - Then that's fine :) (we don't really have affirmative action, so I didn't think of it) -- nm - Roger More Jul 4, 10:40
