The current battle about illegal immigration is misguided. We constantly hear that there are jobs Americans won't do and that our economy would collapse if we didn't have "illegals." Poppycock!
Americans will do any job if the pay is decent. There are nearly 20 million unemployed, discouraged or underemployed Americans who would jump at the chance to earn a living wage. There are an estimated 11 million illegal aliens here now. Do the math!
Let's do the right thing and pay our workers a fair and equitable wage.
