What about when the money runs out? Don't tell me they could work here, because
Americans should have first preference for American jobs. In Canada, Canadians have
first preference for Canadian Jobs.

Just ask the USCs in the "American Sunbelt" how impoverished they would be if the
snow birds did not come next season with their money that "isn't worth squat".

Bettcha they'll be glum faced. Where will the Snow Bird's replacements come from?
Harlem? Russia? Japan?

Where will the replacement money come from?

Sending work offshore to where labor is cheap is one thing. Bringing cheap laborers
here is another entirely different matter.

If we bring cheap laborers here en masse and give them green cards, it will.

And if Mexicans get visas, why would they work for less than minimum wage? Ticket to
the clue train, those who have gotten amnesty or otherwise legalized their status
DON'T work in the sub minimum wage jobs that they did when they were illegal. They
have options to work in much better jobs that pay alot more. And those who have kids
and who become citizens opt to receive public assistance.

So tell me, in light of all of this, do you think an employer is going to pay X
amount of dollars to the lawyers and INS and wait months just for a few minimum wage
workers? Hell no. He will just illegally smuggle more workers who accept next to
nothing and keep doing so until he is caught.

Several points on this: in both cases a job for a USC IS REMOVED! Second point, by
taking the work offshore, the US business conglomerate pays less for labor and
possibly (because the subsidiary is also offshore) pays less tax to Uncle Sam. Third
point, when labor comes into the USA those bodies still need to purchase services,
food etc, from the location they are in. I presume they rent property because they
don't make enough to own, and thus some landlord's buildings are not empty. more
property taxes can be paid... Last point, is that one would suppose there would be
better quality control in a US plant than in some offshore sweat-shop. Perhaps, but
not necessarily ...

Sounds like bringing folks into the country is better for the country than shipping
the work offshore.

What about all that rhetoric regarding "bring us your poor, etc etc etc....".

Remember that unless you are a North American Indian you or your ancestors
came here too.

Of course there are. Just answer the question: what would happen to the business in
the sunbelt of the Snow Birds did not come ........

Remember what happened to business after 9-11 when people stopped flying for a while.

Just answer my question.

This is EXACTLY why we can't have (and why you want) open borders between the US and
Canada. For some classes of immigrants, especially refugees, Canada is much easier
to enter, and is viewed as a "resting point" for their ultimate destination, the US
of A. I remember some Indian people fraudulently immigrating from some caribbean
countries (Guyana and Trinidad I think) to Canada and claiming "refugee" status,
claiming that black people were being violent towards them and making their lives
miserable. Quite a few got across to Canada that way, and quite a large number
ultimately ended up in the USA, either legally, fraudulently or outright illegally.

I wonder how the US INS would allow them into the USA illegally. It boggles the
mind quite frankly! Fraudulently? Hummmm! who is in control of immigration into the
USA - you? me?

You make a valid point but my desire for open borders is for US and Canadian citizens
only. Not PRs or other immigrants that would still have to be processed by
immigration. But I know what you are saying- and it works in reverse- people that are
rejected by the USA often go to try in Canada as sort of a second choice.

Political pressure on the INS NOT to enforce these laws is the reason that these laws
are not enforced.

They should be willing to if they don't have a legal work force to pull from. Or
they should just move their company somewhere else.

If anyone here took economics, which I'm sure they did, the best thing to do would be
to get rid of the minimum wage. Then they'd pay these guys so low, that it would
stop the flow, IN THEORY.
