Illegal immigrants are by definition criminals. Many studies have shown that on average illegal immigrants get more in taxpayer benefits than they pay into the system. Which makes sense, because the average illegal immigrant is a low wage worker. I have had the same position on immigration since the late 1980's. We should streamline the process for legal immigration, and have much stricter enforcement of illegal immigration laws. Along with stronger border security, employers should face harsh penalties for hiring illegal immigrants. This isn't a complicated issue, but as long as corrupt politicians and businessmen can benefit from lax enforcement of illegal immigration, the problems are only going to get worse. Illegals do not get benefits from the government so that is not accurate. If the employers here would stop hiring them they would not come here. Illegals get access to some government benefits 'legally', and gain many benefits by forging documents. If the government would enforce illegal immigrant laws, companies would not be hiring illegals. However, when the government turns a blind eye to one company hiring illegal immigrants, paying them less than minimum wage, and bending various other regulations because illegal immigrants can't easily bring lawsuits against their employers, all those companies who do not hire illegal immigrants are at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace and will go out of business if they do not break the unenforced laws against hiring illegal immigrants. |
