Touchy Topic: American citizens competing for scarce jobs with 20 million illegals

[stockstradr]

Interesting question: how will immigration reform be impacted by a deep recession (or depression) with countrywide unemployment over 10%, where out-of-work American CITIZENS are competing with 20 million ILLEGAL immigrants for scarce jobs?

PREDICTION: certain ethnic tensions will run very high as USA moves deeper into recession. Expect this simmering topic will boil over in unpredictable ways during next few years.

Ain’t gonna be any immigration reform/amnesty until this is over.

Letting in more immigrants had two key sources of support:

1. Democratic politicians who want more voters likely to end up voting democrat, and the groups that would benefit from more of the Democratic flavor of govt spending.

2. Business owners who employ low-skilled people and who want the cheapest labor (as long as they don’t have to pay for the services used by those laborers) and the Republican pols that live off those business owners.

The second source is gone for now, because there is no shortage of cheap labor in a recession. You need both sources to get legislation passed.
