The borders stay open to let all the cheap workers in so that the big businesses and rich can get cheaper and cheaper slaves, which has the nasty side effect of vast swathes of long term unemployment. No matter how much these bastard politicians fudge the figures, unemployment is a huge problem
I agree with your points.
ILLegals will do lower paying jobs. (They also start contracting businesses in framing, painting, pressure washing, and tree surgury and undercut citizens.)
When ILLegals go legal (which is the point of my thread) they will enter the labor force where there are at least 6 applicants for 1 single job opening. I think many will enter the statistics of underemployed, on medicaid and competing for low paying cash jobs such as Wal-Mart.
And yes, government and business like these influxes of illegal - and legal - labor. People with the equivalent of an education up to age 12 (which is not uncommon in latin america), or the equivalent of a high school education in the home country.
I hope this thread stays on the topic of jobs - or, a lack of jobs, that is.
