Who Speaks For Working Men and Women?
.So-called
Illegal Immigration is having a direct impact on American skilled and unskilled
labor that is rarely discussed. All we ever hear about is the wonderful people
who have violated our laws by simply coming to American with the intention of
taking American jobs and cranking out "anchor babies" in order to
further circumvent Immigration law and stay here.
With
full intent, these criminals hurry to have babies so that they may pervert our
Constitution by claiming that they cannot be removed because their children are
American citizens due to the fact their children were born on American soil.
And what civilized person wants to separate a Mother from her baby? This
practice is beyond disgraceful, and yet, foolish people condone such horrible
activity.
We
all have heard over and over the complete nonsense that the criminals who cross
our borders in violation of our laws are only here because they will do the
jobs that Americans won't do.
Here
is the truth that remains unspoken during the so-called "Illegal
Immigration" debate. I will use roofing as an example, but there are many
other work areas that have typically used American skilled and unskilled labor
that have supported American families in the past. Many of these other work
area could be used as examples as well.
Here
is how it really works. Roofing contractors using American citizen labor have
been roofing American homes for ages by paying American workers a wage that can
support an American living in America. Undocumented workers approach the
roofing contractor and offer to work on the roofs for a fraction of the wage
paid to the American worker. Most legitimate contractors say no, but as usual,
there are some contractors who jumped at the opportunity to make a huge profit
by undercutting other contractors paying American wagers to American workers.
Needless to say, soon the contactors employing undocumented workers were
getting all of the roofing business, so reluctantly, the honest contractors had
to hire illegal undocumented workers as well in order to remain in business.
What
this really means is that American skilled and unskilled roofers, that once
upon a time, were able to make a living doing roofing no longer have a job.
That is, they don't have a job unless they are wiling to work for undocumented
wages that will not support an American family.
Who
speaks for the skilled and unskilled American works displaced by illegal
workers? Who indeed.
