Thread: CARSON: REPLACE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION WITH ‘COMPASSIONATE ACTION,’ APPROACH IMMIGRATION

Let’s clear up this nobody but illegal aliens will do certain work and/or if you raise wages to attract American workers an apple will cost $4000.

There is so much wrong with this stuff it is hard to know where to begin. Firstly, if the only way a farmer can stay in business is by paying substandard wages with no benefits to illegal aliens then he should not be in business because it is not viable. It may be that the extreme cost of government regulations is making his business unviable. Then let him go and demand Washington stop making it so expensive to run a business that he can not afford to pay a living wage.

All you hear about is crops rotting the field without illegal aliens to pick them. It has been estimated that less than 5% of the low estimate of 11 million illegal aliens are necessary to supply all of the manpower needed for farm work. We are on the cusp of an age of robotic harvesting of crops. And it would be progressing much faster if it were not for cheap illegal alien labor removing the incentives to give robotics a high priority.

So the other 95% of illegal aliens are mostly taking part time and summer jobs opportunities away from American kids or low skilled adults.

When illegal aliens are not available, rather than go out of business, businessmen have found ways to get Americans to do the work. A great part of the problem is the myth that businesses can not survive without illegal aliens has become a self-fulfilling prophesy. With cheap illegal alien workers easily available there is little incentive to find alternatives.

If illegal aliens are given indefinite legal status, like everyone else, they will look for better paying jobs and before long the same businessmen will be telling us they can not find anyone willing to work for them.

Great post!! Americans have always done any job available for a fair wage, and over the years many have done the work for unfair wages, but fought their way through the system to wage increases. These people claiming they can't find Americans to do this work are nothing but treasonous liars, whiners, cheats and thieves.

And, obviously, Ben Carson is one of them. I guess his 16 years of serving on the "boards" of all these companies he mentioned turned him into one. After all, why would Ben Carson who doesn't have any business or corporate experience be asked to serve on the Board of Directors for major corporations like Kellogg and Costco? Their token Uncle Tom?

Ben Carson, you're a disgrace. I've never entered a Costco, but I'll never buy another Kellogg product.
