They compete more for jobs and get paid less for them. Gee, this applies to everyone, doesn;t it?

        (Saturday January 6, 2007 Locan newspaper)      

     "There's a popular game in America that goes, I'll cut your wages, but you don't cut mine. And the outsourcing of your factory job to China is a good thing because it makes my paycheck go further at Wal-Mart. We hear this theme alot in the debate over illegal immigration." Sounds like somebody out there is begining to see the big picture. What do you think?
     "Consider the recent raids on Swift meat-processing plants. Federal agents arrested 1, 187 illegal immigrants at facilities in six states. Mere hours later, economists warned that depriving the industry of illegal labor could raise hamburger prices." Oooooooooooo incase you haven't noticed, the price of hamburger has already gone up quite a bit in the last year or two. Besides, if they were here illegally they do not belong here!
     "Illegal immigration is usually presented as a win-win situation. Undocumented foreigners earn far more than they could back home. Consumers get a bargain." What is is costing all of us to take care of these illegal immigrants? You know, food, clothing, housing, medical and hospital expense. What about what it is costing us for education? What is happening to your children while the schools are catering to the children of illegal immigrants? Just a thought.
     "But were a busload of illegals from Australia to turn up for example, and offer reportage at ten percent below the going rate...... Authorities would be called so fast your head would spin."
     "The U.S. Chamber of Commerce likes to wail about the labor shortage. It says there aren't enough chambermaids, dishwashers, etc. to work for its members at lousy wages. Odd, but when there's a shortage of labor, or anything else, doesn't the price of it go up? The price of unskilled labor in the United States has not gone up. It has gone down. Because of immigration."
