LEGAL immigrants are welcome. the fence or DMZ is there for the ILL LEGAL ones who are invading the country. Now IF you totally STOP immigration yeah THATS a totalitarian regime. I never said that i just said the ILLEGALS. after the first couple of hundred they will stop trying to come across im sure.
@ th e poster who thinks tresspassing dont equal death. Try running the gate at Area 51 and resist or attempt to elude them.

The problem is the people that hire them not the Mexicans.
Sorry but you do sound like a racist considering that you left out a bunch of other undocumented nationalities that work in the construction industry.

Despite everything immigrants (legal and illegal) have contributed to this nation in its history, they will always be blamed for the woes of society and its downfall. Generation-to-generation (guess which ethnicity is taking the brunt this generation,) it hasn't changed. Leads me to believe there is something else going on besides "they took our jobs."
I suppose it's those darned foreigners' faults for our outsourced manufacturing etc. as well.

Hey I work in a couple of construction firms - we're paying SKILLED Immagrants $24 - $33 dollars an hour just like we pay homegrown workers. Looks like to need to increase your skill level. Sounds like you're doing what amounts to day labor - and it may, may, be the case that your claim is correct for that skill level. It is a lot more expensive to cover less skilled workers with WC then skilled and experienced ones.

It's happening all over the globe not just in the US
It's nothing more than an attempt to drive down the costs of labour in order to compete with other nations

an immigrant should NEVER make more than minimum wage, and an American should NEVER work for less than one or work under one. utterly DISGUSTING. pay them what they would make in Mexico.
Their ancestors did not build America up, their ancestors didnt die fighting for America. they should NEVER be allowed here. Companies should always pay an American more than an immigrant.
Maybe after a hundred years in country they should qualify for a PORTION of the respect of an American whose family has been here for HUNDREDS of years.

No need to cry.
The problem lies with the company not the workers.
And yes I spent 20+ years in the labor force.
