Featured Illegal immigrants

Actually, with less workers for fast food - employer will pay higher wages for long term and productive employees! And they will be more willing to negotiate with good employees if they hint they might go elsewhere.

Then if that employer will not give a good pay raise - the employee will have a good selection of business to chose from; once he has established a good work ethic.

 

But that $15 will be the employers choice - NOT forced by the goverment.
Some may still only offer $8 - but they will have low level employees -
but with a burger costing only a buck -

Sure the restaurant with good employees - may have to raise that burger up to a buck 75

Bottom line -
Leave it up to the consumer whether he wants poor service for a 99 cent burger
or be willing to pay 1.75 for good service.

 

I like doing a much better job at enforcing the border, but I’m not sold on the wall concept. It just doesn’t seem freezable to me.

This is what I worry about, Evan. When things heat up people tend to behave ungodly. I wonder how many will view those illegal immigrants as people who are trying to feed their families and just survive….as people. I am not saying to keep them here, they certainly need to be deported. But too often these types of issues and debates tend to dehumanize people.

 

I think that if they are here illegally then they need to be deported and come back legally or not at all.

The wall itself just doesn't make very much sense to me.

 

How long have you lived on the border and witnessed illegal crossing of the border?

I live in the county with the greatest number of illegals entering the country. The existing fence only extends about a mile on each side of the border crossings.

The wall will greatly reduce the number of illegals coming into Hidalgo County, just as it has in the other places where it has been completed. Granted, building it here is more difficult due to the border being in the middle of the Rio Grande, and the protected wetlands on our side of the border, but it will stop a lot of crime here, and protect a lot of people, including those trying to cross.

 

I'm not saying I oppose a wall or that preventing illegal immigration doesn't make sense to me. It's the wall itself. I just can't picture it, or what I do picture would be a maintenance nightmare and wouldn't really work. So I like the idea but am not sure about the wall.
