This goes to show how some people aren't as heavy handed with the delete button as I am. I try not to blacklist, but damn, don't try to turn a conversation into a "Dictionary" assfest on one of my blogs... jeez...
"If there were no choice of hiring lower paid workers people that need help would HAVE to pay the higher scale." |
Technically, they shouldn't have a choice now since it is illegal to do it. I mean, do you think they pay these illegals minimum wage? If you ask me a better tactic would be make the employers more responsible for the people they hire, and how they cook the books to get by with paying so little.
Honestly, I don't think most illegals want this kind of job. They want to be able to go back to Mexico at will. If they stayed here their wages would SUCK, since they'd have to spend them here, too, and pay what we pay, instead of weathering it until they can get home. Most Americans in these kinds of jobs don't want a third of their salary to go to insurance, either.
I don't think insurance companies would put up with it, and would lobby the idea out of existance. They don't want to pay benefits to millions of illegals. I don't think Americans would want higher payments to soak up the billions they'd pay out to illegals, either.
