Corporations Love Cheap Labor
by James Glaser December 20, 2010 
Why are millions of illegal aliens coming to America? To get a job that pays them way more than they could get in their native land. Who is hiring them? Corporations and business in the United States who want to see their cost of labor go down. Also, wealthy Americans who just don't want to pay a decent wage for domestic help. Here is something Pat Buchanan found:
So, why isn't Washington doing something to close our borders? I think it is because the corporations own Washington, and those corporations want these legal and illegal immigrants coming here so they can hire them for less than they would have to pay American-born workers. Our low wages look good to immigrants, but in another generation, corporations won't be hiring these new immigrant's children, because they will be bring in another batch of new cheap labor. Corporations are willing to turn America into a third world country filled with excess labor, which will push down wages even further, just like any other third world country. Even in the worst countries in the world, the rich live well, and they know it will take many generations for America to become unlivable for their future offspring. Meanwhile, we sit here with open borders and watch as cheap labor floods America. At the same time Washington does nothing to help raise the standard of living in the countries these illegal workers are coming from. Washington and our corporations want to keep those countries poor, so that their people will come here to work for what we know are low wages. The Rich get richer, and the rest of us fall farther behind. |
