191449, The problem with your POV is that you are defending a broken system Posted by double negative, Sun Jul-12-15 04:04 PM
very low paying jobs are a symptom of a bigger problem. The jobs illegal immigrants are taking on are the worst jobs to have really. There is something wrong with the current picture where it is ok to exploit labor the way illegals are used.
So if you are against illegal aliens working for us then are you prepared to start paying a living wage for people working in the lowest ranks?
So then are you also ready to pay more for goods and services?
Further, you keep touching upon the concept that "Mexicans will never have our backs" that's just crazy talk, how can you even begin to say that when its proven that groups of people aren't even down for their own groups? Just look at how fucked up and stingy we got when it came to having a dialogue about increasing minimum wage to a livable standard.
Your Us versus them mentality is actually hurting the possibility that people could get along.
