Yes, it’s a PCM meme, but still accurate as fuck.

    See and you’re wrong here too because minimum wages are higher than the wages illegal immigrants get paid. Hiring illegals is illegal, there’s no incentive for the company to hire them over citizens unless it saves them money.

      Wouldn’t it be in everyone’s best interest to make those workers legal and pay them a fair wage? They’re already doing the job, so if they’re bad at it and not worth the wage increase to the business owner, wouldn’t that mean other people could now out compete the immigrants for those same jobs?

      Doing this would avoid a sudden labor market upset, extend amnesty to the businesses AND their underpaid employees (avoiding violence and suffering for everyone involved), guarantee a fair wage for all the workers involved (current and future), and make those positions competitive on the market.

      The only downside is an increase in prices which is going to happen in every other case anyway.

            Not enough of them do. It’s hard to find pro-amnesty folks on the right.

            To be clear, it’s not that I oppose deporting illegals, I just think amnesty is better. And I’m not a single issue voter, so amnesty honestly wasn’t a factor in my voting decisions this time around.

              Well, just to loop back around, this means all those “probably”'s up there are very likely “probably not”'s.
