Stopping illegals is good for many reasons. No matter where they come from. The vast majority are low wage, unskilled, unemployed, criminals and not required.

The real unemployment rate is a huge burden on the rest. https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-t...t-rate-3306198 So much for the often quoted 4% figure.
Worse is coming. Unless we find millions of jobs over the next 10 to 20 years millions will be added to the unemployed.
Automated cars, vans, and lorries are being tested, with Government funding. That will mean no need for 3.5 million new jobs to replace the jobs truck drivers currently hold. Now add taxis and vans. This is in addition to jobs already being lost to automation. https://www.recode.net/2017/3/25/150...job-automation.
So stopping illegal migration is good for many reasons. It's a wonder all politicians aren't planning for the people's future and not their donor's futures. |
You have no idea what goes on here in the USA, not a jot. I lived in San Diego for 16+ years owned and ran 11 restaurants with a total of some 154 staff including Baristas line cooks, chefs, etc etc. During the 8 years i owned them the only issues i had where from Americans who didn't want to work, came to work drunk or stoned and mostly late. In the end i had had enough i fired all the offending people and hired on legal Mexicans / Australians . They worked hard came in on time and didn't drink or do drugs of any sort, didn't want to change the menu and didn't argue with each other. Sure they sent there wages back to Mexico but my restaurants grew mainly because of there work ethic. I made more money and paid more taxes. I sold more alcohol and paid more taxes. My turnover climbed more than 63% during the last 4 years and when i sold the business i got back more money and paid more taxes.
Without the immigrants wether they be Mexicans, Polish, Brits or Australians i would not have increased my business and yes, paid more taxes. Some Americans in the restaurant business, at least in San Diego don't want to work period. Just in case you are wondering i paid the Mexican/Australian staff the same as the Americans.
