If illegal immigration lowers costs then why is everything a higher price?
Answer:
Illegal immigration doesn't lower prices to the end user/consumer. The lower costs due to "cheap labor" just inflates the employer's profits, that's all.
wow. you feel better?
illegals raise the prices, because they get everything for free. or almost everything.
I'm still waiting for some hard evidence that illegals keep prices down in this country. All I get are over-the-top guesses from the pro-illegal crowd, like $6 for an apple, $8 a gallon for gas, etc. etc.
Inflation has been a fact of life for a long time now. If you eliminated the impact of illegal immigration on wages and prices, it probably would goose inflation for a time, leading to higher prices of some goods & services, and lower real wages for some (but higher real wages for those formerly competing directly with illegals).
Ouch! exactly
GREED IT IS THE NORTH AMERICAN WAY,LOOK AT THE INTEREST RATES AS THEY GO HIGHER AND YOUR BILL LOAD GOES HIGHER AND YOUR PAY GOES LOWER AND LOWER/ this is why you work until you die because the system is against you from the start,unless you get LUCKY
It's called inflation.
they are not talking about inflation, inflation always increases as time goes one, and illegal immigration doesnt really lower inflation. What people mean when they say illegal immigration lower costs are products that illegal immigration are hired for. And the list is mostly small, like produce, agriculture or menial labor. Even though these costs are small, the oppurtunity cost (other costs) are high, with illegal immigrants using the american educational service that the government is spending a lot on and the crimes and drugs that does cost the united states government a lot of money. So illegal immigration does not really lower costs on a large scale basis and it turns out to be more expensive for the united states government and the people who cant find jobs bc illegal immigrants take their jobs for lower pay and more hours.
It's true that many goods and services would be more expensive without illegal immigration. It's just fact. If I'm paying somebody $3 an hour I can sell my goods for less than if I have to pay him $7 an hour like everybody else who's actually American.
What you're describing is inflation and a fantastic housing market that just recently peaked. It's true though, the biggest supporters of illegal immigration outside of illegal immigrants are the pro-business lobby. "Why say no to cheap labor?"
HAHAHA talk about having no facts. . . .why don't you do some research??
It's the money hungry fat cats you guys call Americans, that are taking your money and using it up to buy Million dollar homes and who knows what else. . .while you sit here and blame illegal immigration for all the expenses you have. . .
Simple,illegal immigration doesn't lower costs,it raises costs.
It is a fallacy...that is often used by pro-illegals that "produce" would be unaffordable if it wasn't for the illegal alien. Agriculture is not the only employment sector that illegal aliens work in.
Only 25% of the agricultural workers in the U.S. are illegal aliens...meaning the other 75% are filled legally.by legal citizens or legal immigrants.
We have a large percentage of illegal aliens working in the construction industry in the U.S., but they never acknowledge this. If their "theory" were true, we would also face unaffordable high housing if illegal aliens were deported.
The truth is-if the U.S. "needs" more workers, all we need to do is increase our immigration quota. We do NOT "need" illegal alien criminals. There are HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, IF NOT BILLIONS of people that would love to come to America if only given the chance. Who in their right mind thinks we "need" 12-20 million illegal aliens???
We have no shortage of legal immigrants, and an inexhausible pool to choose from if we need them.
You don't even have your facts straight you are slow.
simply put.. it doesn't lower consumer costs, it increases corporate profit.
The cost of anything would not change,As the employers pocket the money an tax's collected. No savings to us citizens.Look at how much we would save with all the social services stopped.What about health care fraud, we pay that,IDS & SS# fraud,credit card scams, Forclosers, the amount of gas they use,no car ins,Jobs lost to lower wages the list is so long i would bore you.Wait an see what changes happen now that the cities & states are starting to enforce the laws.Keep calling & e/mailing the Gov were on a roll.
Because the facts are that illegals are costing us much more than they are worth having here.
And China is going through Mexico (using the NAFTA) to avoid the tariff taxes on their China made garbage. And that's the deal Mexico made with China.
Same here, everything is up,up,up.
DAMN RIGHT! Why is my medical insurance going up every year when I barely use it? Why is it that I have to pay triple what I did 3 yrs ago for an ER visit? Could it be that illegals go to the ER and get treated without insurance? could it be that those costs are passed on to us Americans? I have been at my job 5 yrs. I get a raise every single year. Some have sucked, some have been nice. Why do I bring home less now than I did when I started my job??? I would like to know what exactly is cheaper?? Can someone give me one specific item that is cheaper now than it was 6 mos. ago???
Illegal immigration is why everything is HIGHER ! And only continues to go up.
None of the above answers are correct, the reason things cost more nowdays is because of the increase in cost of fuel to transport all of the consumer goods, and anti-free enterprise measures such as mandated minimum wage increases etc. More people, less supply, prices rise. It is all about supply and demand. Things that were cheap 30 years ago are worth more now because of increased demand, and the higher cost associated with producing it.
don't forget medical care, and insurance.
how fair was it for my car insurance to go up (& i had to pay the medical bills) when I got sideswiped by an illegal running a red light in a car that wasn't even registered or insured?
please don't tell me that illegal immigration doesn't cost anything in this country. It was quite pricey for me when that a-hole totaled my car & broke my ribs!
The large corp. are using all of us.They just can't make a large enough profit to satisfy their stock holders.They are EVIL.
