I Am Sick And Tired Of The Anti-immigration Laws

We are told by experts across the political spectrum that corporations like liberal immigration laws.

What corporations want is cheap labor that has no enforceable rights. Therefore, they would, indeed, despise well-enforced, strict, anti-immigration laws because such a system would greatly limit the number of immigrants in the country who could potentially be cheap labor with no enforceable rights. But corporations would [b]also[/b] hate it if undocumented immigrants got a pathway to citizenship because this would result in virtually all immigrants in the country having enforceable rights.

Hence, what corporations want is tough immigration laws that are sporadically enforced. They want the laws tough so that there is no legal avenue for most people in the world to immigrate to the United States, forcing people to choose between coming illegally and not coming at all. Since the push factors which inspired them to consider seriously leaving their country are very, very strong, many will choose to come to the United States illegally. But corporations want these tough laws to be enforced only sporadically so that, at any given time, there are a lot of undocumented immigrants in the country. Undocumented immigrants do not want to come to the attention of any government agency; therefore, if their employers do not pay them the minimum wage, give them breaks, etc, then the undocumented immigrants will NOT report the situation to the government.

In this manner, corporations would like to continue to exploit desperate undocumented immigrants in order to maximize their profits. The only system that allows this to happen is one with unreasonably tough, but sporadically enforced, immigration laws.

Absolutely correct. Corporations rely on undocumented labour for menial tasks from farm labour to hotel services. Its simple to stop. Ans stopping it would stem the flow of illegal immigration to a trickle. But any congressman or Senator who makes that stand will lose the next election as the lobby money goes to their opposition.

@gregloa If you have any actual facts to back up your pronouncements I will happily listen and maybe be educated. But I "give a $hit" because unlike you I realise that we all live on the same planet and are the same species. Our fates are linked. Our histories are different, so I wont start in on the mistakes either of us have made. But as of now your nation is in a heap of trouble and dragging its people into a future that at the very least has inferior prospects to those the older generations enjoyed. Considering the nations potential I think thats a shame.
You are of course free to disagree. In which event you are also free to "go forth and be fruitful." Have a nice day.🙂
Both are products of Britain ...
They started filling both up with people they didn’t like..
Others came along to the US..

We were a dumping ground for undesirables..@gregloa
@Texasgurl And those lands originally [b]had[/b] indigenous people living there. Forgotten and dismissed because they weren’t white, but [b]people[/b] nonetheless. 😒
