Hiring Illegal Immigrants is Better than Slavery of Early America.

Los Angeles, Ca - Lets compare American slavery & todays illegal immigration from an economic vantage point.  Illegal immigrants can be said to come to the USA for an array of reasons but we all accept the fact that illegal immigrants for the most part are here to make a dollar and the dollar they make in the USA is obviously more then what they make in their Country of origin.  

Lets take a glimpse of early American slavery. Take for example the slave owner had to house, feed,  clothe, and provide medical services for their slaves if they wanted to keep them fix for duty.  Slave owners also had to purchase a slave and hope they were workable, if not this meant the the slave was unsalable and the owner had to get rid of them or care for them which was a loss of money.  Many slave owners had to worry about their slaves running away and hiring posses to find them which was another loss in production and money.  All this in turn ended up being a burden more than a benefit over time.

Predatory Capitalism running amuck.

Now lets get to todays evil doing American tax sucking pesky Illegal immigrants.  These impoverished individuals offer companies a better deal than slave owners in the past ever dreamed of.  

Now employers who hire todays illegal immigrants don't have to deal with any of the issues that slave owners were subject to.  The employer offers a small compensation package that's well known to be a sub-standard livable wage with no benefits such as healthcare. If an employer doesn't like the illegal immigrant all they have to do is fire them and little can be done by the illegal who would fear going to the authorities to inform them about their evil employer firing them.  The illegal immigrant is not interested in a free ride back to their motherland. This means that employers are very likely to make a larger profit by doing what most companies do to make a dollar and that would be cutting corners.  Unfortunately, companies who employ illegals do so at the expense of the very society they live in.  To add insult to injury, illegal immigrants may potentially lower the wages for legal residents doing comparable work. 

Since these employers pay a substandard wage these illegal immigrants are often unable to afford living in the USA on one paycheck thus forcing the American tax payer via our social services safety net to subsidize this difference.  Such services when a child is involved normally include AFDC, food stamps, public housing, and K-12 education including complimentary breakfast & lunches. 

Imagine your neighbor having all the kids they want but you have to pay for them because their job sucks and doesn't pay enough.  Well, thats exactly what's going on when an employer hires an illegal immigrant.

The era of slavery in early America had it much more tougher than todays Companies that employ illegal immigrants and I can assure you that big business in not interested in ending illegal immigration anytime soon.  Not when they have it this good!
