Reply #9: Why is our govt allowing companies to issue tax IDs for illegal workers? [View All]

[JohnnyRingo]

Why would a company admit officially that they hire them?
Why leave a paper trail of illegal hiring practices?
I don't understand that. If everything is above board, why not give the job to a documented alien....or better yet, a citizen?

When hiring an American, an employer gets his money's worth.
When hiring an illegal, he gets a bargain. Otherwise it wouldn't happen. Ever.

If a laborer needs $18 an hour to build furniture in N Carolina, and an illegal will do it for $8, the American worker has to look elsewhere.
Race doesn't factor in because that unemployed American can be Chinese, Hispanic, or Asian. (and often is)

I believe when an undocumented worker takes a job, someone has to step aside.
Unless we as a country really are near 100% employed, as Buxh claims.

That..I don't believe.
