Is the U.S.'s job problem really related to illegal immigrants, outsourcing of jobs or somewhere else?
Answer:
The root of the problem is our tax system. In order to remain competitive on a global scale, American companies need to reduce overhead. That is why they are exporting jobs and importing workers. They don't have to pay taxes on workers who are illegal aliens.
The solution is the Fair Tax(H.R.25/S1025) which will put our companies on a level playing ground with foreign companies. The incentive to hire illegal aliens will be removed as will the incentive to move overseas. In fact it will encourage foreign companies to come here. And if for some reason illegal aliens come here anyway they will be paying tax on retail goods and services(without getting the prebate). It will bring jobs BACK to this country. Look into it if you haven't yet. It is THE best tax reform proposal there is.
Most of the US job problems are related to people being born with lead in their as s and not wanting to work. Illegals are coming to America and doing work that noone else will do. It's harder work and less pay but they make it work.
Outsourcing certainl is not helping but many of these jobs are the same kind Mexicans are taking now.
There is no US job problem. Unemployment is at an all time low. I know when this is pointed out many on the left counter with the myth that the unemployment rate doesn't count those who have given up looking for work. If a person gives up why should I care? Some in our country forgot to take advantage of the free education provided by tax payers and are now unemployable. Some have bought into the "I'm a victim" rant of what passes for the civil rights movement. why should I care? Some simply don't have the mental or physical skills needed to maintain a good job in the 21st century. I guess we can call them the unlucky unemployed, but what can I do about that? Some are just too particular as to what type of job they will take, why should I care? The job market is just fine, if a democrat were in the white house all the talking heads on the main stream media would be saying so
You know this is a good question. I don't think so. I feel that the problem with our "employment" issues is more internal than immigration. Our country needs to work on its education of its people and allow more of our citizens to get the jobs that are more tech and more pay, however I do think there should be a program that allows American citizens first choice on labor jobs. The fact of the matter is that this is the land of opportunity and that has always attracted people from all over the world. That's what the U.S was founded on!
It is a combination of illegals, outsourcing and NAFTA
It is related to all of those things, and let's not forget failing to Buy American (but we need labels!)
Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. America love it or leave it. Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Leave it Now. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !
somewhere else americans just don't want to admit it
