I agree. If you think prices for goods and services are high now, it would be MUCH worse were it not for a class of people willing to work for wages under conditions most Americans would NEVER accept.

Most goods bought aren't made here anyway. When is the last time you actually bought something made with American hands? It's all imported from Asia.

Mexican labor may be heavy in construction and agriculture, but did the price of homes or vegetables fall when this happened? I didn't notice anything. The labor savings weren't passed onto consumers, they just made the businesses more profitable.

I hear that argument all the time, that illegal immigration is making things cheaper, but I see no actual evidence of it.

Ever eat in a restaurant?

Or

Been to any business in America, that is actually clean?

Or

Been to anyone's house that is clean?

Or

Been to anyone's house getting a "little construction work" done?

Or

A condo building with the lawn cut? The hedges trimmed? The weeds pulled?

So in other words, illegal immigration is good for the 1%.
