1) Like Jerimiad, I love some of the stuff you post in here. Great. :)
2) I'm happy to compete with other people price-wise over my job if need be. Who knows how many times I have done that and been denied -and- hired, so it is a both-ways kinda deal. The important part comes in knowing how to talk to an employer that has the ability to hire illegals.
3) This is the kicker, the govt. needs to address illegal immigration and start dealing HARSH punishments to those that would hire them. It's one things to say "I'm hiring Esteban over here because well, he wants a job and is willing to take nothing for pay" - but it's another thing altogether to say that when Esteban is illegally here.
I enjoy the competitiveness of the market we live in, however my -only- gripe would be that illegal immigrants need to -NOT- be able to get jobs that are meant for people that have done the paper-work and are naturalized, have their green cards, or were born here in the US. These jobs we have in the states are for the people living Legally in the states, at least that's how I view it.
