Schwarzenegger backs state services to immigrants

[quote=kicksavedave]Really, we should just send them all home, or at least while they are here don’t give them any medicine at all. I won’t mind paying $14 for a head of lettuce, $11 per avocado, and $15 for an artichoke.

I don’t think this will happen. As long as we are open for trade; if we do not have cheap enough labor to pick lattuce here, we will import lattuce from south of the border (perhaps picked by the same people who are picking it up here). The same goes for a lot of things mentioned here. I do realize that we can import a mowed lawn or haricut from Mexico. However, if the prices for those rose sufficiently high, people might mow their own lawn and maybe give each-other haircuts!

Which brings me to my assertion that money spent on illegal immigration is really another form of subsidy to local farmers, homeowners, companies and such who employ this labor.

A far better system would have been to recognize the need that we need cheap labor in here to keep farming etc. domestic. Then offer temporary work visas for this and make sure that the employers who benefit from this contribute their fair share of costs incurred by the society. If job market is hot, we can increase such visas and reduce them in the time of recession.

Unfortunately people who benefit from current system (of keeping people in shadows) will perpatuate till eternity.

[quote=afx114][quote=meadandale]Do you know how much money illegal immigrants send back home? They aren’t spending all that money HERE, it is being spent back in Mexico…So much for all the illegal immigrants ‘helping’ our economy.[/quote]

Could that be offset by the money that is saved by the businesses who hire illegals? I’d bet that corporations save more money by hiring illegals than what the illegals themselves make and send back to their homeland. Surely these savings are cycled back into the economy by the businesses.
[/quote]

I somehow feel the savings are NOT cycled back into the economy. Offshore accts? Swiss banks? Demand for lower tax?

The title of the forum thread is WRONG.

It should say ILLEGAL immigrants. Not ‘immigrants’. If you can’t distinguish the difference between legal and ILLEGAL immigrants, well, I don’t know what to tell ya…

imho

I agree but just choose to run with the title that the Sacramento Bee used and was approved by their editorial staff.

Got to love the fair and balanced media that fails to use accurate and exacting language in their reporting.

If the article was about true immigrants and bet all all the LPR’s who are living here would be up in arms on the board!
