There's a pretty good letter to the editor in the Los Angeles Times on immigration. Here's he bulk of it. Currently 8.7 million illegal aliens directly compete with 10 million uneducated and unskilled Americans for the same jobs. All they do is reduce wages for the poorest Americans. There's no evidence that the U.S. has a shortage of unskilled workers that needs to be satisfied by illegal immigrants. The past couple of decades have taught us that high-tech countries like the U.S. place a premium on an educated and skilled work force. Such economies don't create vast arrays of well-paying menial jobs to be filled by the unskilled and uneducated, as exemplified by most illegal immigrants. Mexican illegal immigration acts as a subsidy to businesses that employ unskilled workers--holding down labor costs and preventing plant modernization--while taxpayers pick up the costs ($5 billion annually in California) to provide educational, birth and welfare services to 3.5 million illegal immigrants in this state. |
