Thread: Just a Quick Question...

If amnesty passes and all the current illegals become legal, would they not be in a position to join unions and demand better wages and working conditions? All the way up, perhaps, to the level of American workers?

Wouldn't the greedy elites be right back where they started from?

Help me out...am I missing something here

No. They'd just bring in more third world people willing to work for less. There are so many more poor just waiting in the wings. It'll never end.

That was the Amnesty issue of the past. Everytime they did pass it, there were more illegals to fill the slots, and more Americans on the dole because of it.

All of this presumes that the purpose is to lower wages in the first place. As previously stated, I believe that the more likely impetus for the waves of immigration, illegal and otherwise, is the creation of additional credit (a higher debt ceiling) for the federal government by monetizing the immigrants via SSNs and ITINs.

The current tax hit of over 70 Billion dollars local to federal is expected to double or triple if they are given legalized status.

But wouldn't the "guest worker" program stop that cycle? I would assume that those here under the GWP would be entitled to the same wage and condition levels as American workers. Otherwise the U.S. government would be guilty of institutionalizing a form of slavery...again...

Well, we all work for the D.C. Plantation........................

With an out of control U.S. central bank creating credit out of thin air and China / Asia still more than willing to loan us back the money we send over to them when Walmart buys their slave labor produced junk, our government regards the tax collectable from our own slave labor pool to be of little consequence. It's all about cheap labor for their corporate partners and cheap votes for themselves.

Putting them in debt makes up for a % off unpaid taxes.

In So California, 27% of the houses sold in 2005-2006 are now in foreclosure.
