Platypus - your ignoring one major factor in GR's comment that is not in place....
The stopping of government handouts.
Sure, as long as someone can sit on welfare and get food and shelter - why should they work? Right now - the results you see in your neighborhood is exaclty because of this. Stop the government breast feeding - and you will have plenty of employees.
Ducimus - yes - you have a valid point - but if the work was there - and more AMERICANS were employed - more work would be there - so without the migrant workers - and the migrant worker pay being shipped to mexico - but instead being spent in the US - you get a beneficial cycle. More people buying more widgets, homes, cars, whatever, and thus more employees are needed. Wait - they won't work for peanuts - damn - corporations suddenly have no workers - they up their wages - Ducimus gets a decent wage - everyone wins. Sure - its not perfect and isn't going to always work that way - but let me ask you - is it not better than where we are today?
