           Even though it’s not supposed to happen, cheap labor exists in the U.S. I think it’s largely due to immigrants who have no other way of providing for their families. They work “under the table” sometimes for $2.00 an hour because that’s their disadvantage of entering the U.S. without papers. They accept to work for low wages as a consequence, but it shouldn’t be that way.
           I’m not saying that undocumented people should be eligible to work high paying jobs if they aren’t qualified. I’m saying that if they’re employers are well off into their business to find extra help, then they must have enough money coming in to pay their workers an understandable wage.
           An understandable wage is minimum wage. Employers do risk their record by hiring undocumented workers, but if they take such a risk, they should risk it with honor. Employers who give jobs to undocumented workers are honorable because they provide opportunities to them when others refuse to. This honor could further be heightened by paying their employees, their money’s worth—minimum wage.
           Most immigrants work in factories, as construction workers, or as field workers which are jobs that demand extensive physical labor. Immigrants take these jobs that are necessary to stabilize the United States, but undesirable by its own citizens. They deserve to be paid more because they’re complacent to do the hard labor U.S. citizens prefer not to, with determination since most of them set their minds to succeed in the United States, no matter the downfalls.

That's the risks illegal immigrants take...the risk of being taken advantage of in the work world...However, there are many immigrant business owners that will hire them and pay them just fine. In my area, illegals walk to their jobs-mexican restaurants and walk home...they get paid FAIR wages, tips, and have job security. If they went about things correctly and waited for there turn to be documented immigrants, they would not neet such harsh criticism from me or many other Americans. There are people trying to come into this country the RIGHT way, and they therefore should get the choice fair jobs you speak of. We have not barred immigration, we just ask that they come here LEGALLY.
You know, businessmen are not that...nice. Why would they give their extra profits to their workers who are illegal immigrants and should be thankful they're getting paid at all? It can be counted as good for the economy as well. Thank about it from a businessman point of view. What I am more concerned is their working conditions...just a thought.
business men should give the profits deserved to their illegal workers. Don't tell me the business man would actually work as hard if he has illegal workers to do his work. A business man is human isn't he? He knows the difference between right and wrong and should be more thoughtful to workers who aren't insurrecting against him or something like that.
I am disappointed in how illegals are treated too but Some Americans take the stance that if the illegal immigrants weren't there then Americans would be forced to do the labor. Whither that is true I am not sure, but don't you think Americans need to re-learn what real work is.
Work hard. Never Lose Hope For the Future.<3
I think Americans do need to re lean what real work is because most haven't experienced physical labor. It isn't in demand because immigrants take those jobs, but it's possible that in the next generations, immigrants will decline. At least that's what this legislation wants.
