As the grandson of a 'slave' immigrant that was brought over to build the railroads I take great offense to your complete lack of empathy.
If they're willing to work for $8/hour here, that means things are worse for them where they are. Who are you to cast people into poverty, death, and dismay so that your economy can maintain a slightly higher salary.
- vaksel 17y agoWho are you to cast your fellow americans into poverty, death and dismay just because you have a hard-on for helping people. Earth is not a magical place with rainbows and unicorns, you want to come to this country? Make us want you. Get a PhD or a Masters and you are good to go. My parents won the green card...TWICE...in the same year. So the odds mustn't be that hard.

- vaksel 17y agoso why don't we just declare communism, give everyone a piece of bread and go on with our lives? unskilled labor is just that, unskilled, I'm suggesting that having someone pay $200K for a college degree and then importing cheap labor because you don't want to pay the salary is bullshit
