Don't get me wrong, I sympathize with those who are looking for better opportunities, but I think when it gets to the point where another country is negatively affected, there should be some regulations.
A. Hah, well okay a kid not getting a job at McDonald's , I mean, really, just go somewhere else and get a job.

B. It's called a free market, if you can't compete with how another company does business (immigrants), then maybe it's time you thought of rethinking your pricing structure. If people thought it was worth it to pay someone 100$ an hour to do some concrete laying or roof work, just because they're white, then they would do it. I don't see why just because someone offers up the same service at a reasonable price, they're wrong.

If you stand by this so strongly, and think it affects your economy so bad, pay that white guy 100$ an hour. Your not going to change anything by whining about it, this country runs on money. As cliche as it sounds, money talks. Whoever the people pay, is who is right.

So unless that company gives me a reason to pay them four times more than the immigrants, OTHER than them just being white, then forget it, I'll take the cheap labor. Perhaps a reach-around or a they install a free pool filled with beer?

If the immigrants weren't "illegal" they'd be citizens, thus taxed and contribute more to the economy. Making them illegal won't stop them from coming into the country, it just stops us from being able to keep track of them.

Once again, I'm just a dumb kid. This is only my opinion as I am no economist.
