You're exactly the sort of person who also maintains that burger flippers don't deserve a liveable wage and that there's no such thing as a liveable wage outside of what the market dictates. You'll turn around and scream about inflation due to "highly paid Americans" picking fruit, and demand that something must be done about such outrages. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

- tonynator 2y agoI fully support increased wages for menial jobs, as long as they're not going to illegals
- ironhaven 2y agoSo the illegal immigration issue is not important to you for its economics affects or changes to quality of life but just due to your fear of the other. Thank you for making your priorities more clear.
- stale2002 2y ago> for its economics affects or changes to quality of life The premise of the comment that you are responding to is that because of supply and demand, and because these people are desperate, it reducing the wages for those jobs and makes those bad jobs worse. Thats horrible and less people should be doing those bad jobs, and the wages should increase! Desperate immigrants doing those jobs is just people pushing off bad things to a vulnerable population, and the world would be better off if those jobs got automated away entirely.
- tonynator 2y agoWhat? My issue is that Americans are getting screwed over to help illegals. No more illegals = higher wages for Americans.
- tstrimple 2y agoCan you show your math on this one? How much approximately are "Natives" losing out to "Illegals"?
