Have you looked at the hospital maternity wards and high schools lately? It seems they just keep pumping out new kids that will compete with workers for a zero sum slice of the economic pie. All these high schools graduates are coming to take our jobs
- autoexec 3y agoWith how US birthrates are trending, maternity wards aren't looking like much of a threat these days, and those high schools graduates will demand minimum wage, paid overtime, FMLA, safe working conditions, and all the other things entitled to them under the law. Illegal immigrants cannot demand these things, and can be exploited in ways that American workers cannot, making them much more attractive to companies. I can compete on relatively even ground with an American high school graduate, but I can't compete with what is basically slavery.

What you're describing is certainly a real issue, but it can solved in its entirety by simply providing visas, or even work permits.
