A lot of housing and infrastructure development done by small businesses just won't get done if the price of labor or material becomes too high.
In areas of California where development is rampant and growth is fast paced cheap labor is in high demand.
- sonnyblarney 8y agoYes, if America doesn't have a class of serfs with no healthcare, no rights, who can be treated poorly because they can't complain - a whole bunch of work can't done. However will we survive without our slaves? Sorry, I jest ... but that's the essential nature of the argument. If you make those illegal workers citizens ... then they will be immediately 'too expensive'. Either people are citizens with rights, or are not. Let's not create two systems.
