Monetary Tsunami In America!!

It'll be interesting to watch you squirm out of that prediction in 2012 - and to see what creative accounting you use to make the horns add up to ten.

The migrant workers and the illegals come because there's a demand for their labour. If you want to compete with them, you have to make those jobs more attractive to American workers - e.g. by paying decent wages and benefits.

To me, it makes more sense to spend the money on making the jobs more attractive to legals instead of spending it to fence illegals out.A job should be treated like any other commodity. If people don't want it, make it better, don't make it illegal to buy something else.

Your immigration laws are, in a sense, designed to be broken because there's a huge demand for cheap labour. As long as the demand is there, prohibition won't stop people from buying the product.

Just as a point of interest, floor maintenance (and cleaning in general) is mostly done around here by immigrants too. Many of them do it as a second or third job to make a better life for their children. Some of them are refugees from American foreign policy in places like El Salvador and Chile.By the way, I don't consider floor maintenance an "unskilled" job, though the basic skills can be learned fairly quickly. I'd put it on approximately the same level as cashier.
