Solve three problems at once
Illegal immigration is driving down wages because companies have become dependent on them which causes domestic unemployment to be artificially high. Here are the three problems:
1. Illegal immigration violates our nations sovereignty
2. U.S. Companies are dependent on the cheap labor that they provide.
3. The minimum wage is causing unemployment for U.S. Citizens.
Here’s the solution: Eliminate the minimum wage!
Aside from the fact that the minimum wage is unconstitutional by way of interfering in the freedom of contract between employee and employer, it has the effect of keeping an entire segment of the domestic population under the entitlement system sapping it of the strength realized by personal accomplishment.
Because the minimum wage sets an artificial floor on the minimum value of an hours worth of work regardless of the type companies are forced into a choice. Pay fewer workers, get less done, make less profits, and essentially endure a slow death. Or they could get cheap labor in the form of illegal immigrants which aren’t on the payroll, therefore the companies don’t have to pay income, social security, or medicare tax (an immediate savings to the company). These workers also get paid less so the company can hire more for the same effective cost. This raises productivity and increases profits at the same time. The risk of getting fined for illegally employing these criminal foreign nationals is low because the government is not willing to enforce the laws it passes.
Eliminating the minimum wage allows freedom of contract for both the employer and employee. It also frees the company from the potential, how ever low, of getting fined and losing its workforce. Finally it allows the current pool of under-educated/low-skilled labor to compete for jobs at the same rate as the aforementioned foreign nationals. This will have the affect of lifting those individuals out of the current poverty that they are in, and positively affect society as a whole.
