There's a net reverse immigration right now for the simple fact that;
1. Illegals are being made to feel much more unwelcome. Specific state laws are making it much more difficult to find jobs. It's WORKING!
2. Unemployment numbers are up meaning honest citizens are cutting into the illegals typical arena of employment.
3. Construction jobs are down also minimizes opportunities.
It's got nothing to do with the desirability of either nation as a "place to live" it's based on the ability to make a buck. To say otherwise is completely disingenuous.
When is the last time you heard of a BROKE American going to work or retiring to Mexico???
Some states particular current policies are working...it's just not enough though. It should be a federal effort and the states shouldn't have to be doing the Feds job.
By " working" mean the cockroaches food supply is being taken away and they're disappearing.... Yeah., that sounds brutal but the analogy holds, you can put up barriers, throw down all the chemicals you want but until you remove the INCENTIVE...FOOD.....they will not give up....once the food is removed they will slowly but surely go away because the reward is no longer there.
The whole stupid ass idea that illegals are doing jobs Americans won't do is based on the fact that scumbag employers hire them off the books, pay them no benefits or taxes withdrawn, and rape honest companies out of the market that do things by the book and pay SDI, SSI, etc. , along income tax withholding.
The whole thing is based on a false economy whereby labor gets done on the cheap, the consumer gets cheap goods or services, and we say no one else would do the job. It's fucking bullshit because if we had the laws we ought to have an employer that knowingly hires illegals (Or better yet fails to utilize E-Verify) should face criminal charges, not civil fines.
Wage rates would go up, prices would go up, and once again instead of being a false economy it would be an honest economy. Prices would be back to fair market.
Do we really need cheap car washes and lawn maintenance that fucking bad??
The fact that penalties for hiring illegals is minor at worst means that one or two bad actors undercuts the whole segment they participate in and incentivized the entire segment to go that way and hire illegals or else fail to compete and go under.
When's the last time you saw a roofer, drywall guy, painter, maid, scaffold builder or framer that was a citizen or could speak a lick if English???
It's bullshit the whole argument that Americans won't do it, its based on a few cheaters ruining the whole industry.
And if you have illegals mowing your yard or cleaning your house you're just as guilty.
