Don't forget that once they have legal status here whether it be a green card or visa, do you think they will go back to picking strawberries or anything else? No, forget picking crops, now they can work anywhere else, and we will be back to having to find ag workers again…perpetual cycle, we need guest workers, no anchor babies and tough enforcement of the laws we have…put the employers in jail. I am also contacting my senators…I suggest you do the same.
If they improve themselves, find better jobs, and pay more taxes, how is this a bad thing for society? Perhaps some folks feel threaten because their use to a cushion quality of living…Really, maybe they folks need to do what the rest of people who want a better future have been doing all along…uh, work harder????
I understand this might be new, and hard to grasp concept…But this is a capitalist society. If someone can do your job beter,faster,cheaper, and/or with superior quality, don't they desire to get rewarded for this?
If some kid at a college can replace me at work for 1/2 price of what my employer pays me, by all means the employer should do it. Because it wouldn’t make any sense not to.
