Thread: Libertarian Party: Immigration Law Should Reflect Our Dynamic Labor Market

Americans were doing that work, they just wanted higher wages and better working conditions. Growers succeeded in duping the American people.

When Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez first organized the farm workers, Chavez was against illegals because they depressed wages.

American jobs for American workers

The first thing that strikes me about this article is the premise that we have a dynamic labor market. The Obama academic social experiment has stifled growth and reduced our labor market to part time and 2-3 jobs to make ends meet. He needs to go back to academia and theorize.
