2. It would open up a lot of jobs and employers would be forced to
pay higher wages in order to fill the jobs Americans allegedly won't do. I don't buy that BS Americans won't do certain jobs. When I go outside this area to more prosperous parts of Ohio I see lots of guest workers mowing grass and doing undesirable jobs we still do here. I worked in a steel mill and I saw Americans doing some of the worst jobs imaginable. In this area we see very few of these guest workers and those types of jobs are still getting done. The few I see around here are working on undesirable construction work on non-union projects like building Walmarts for instance. It would be impossible to seal the borders unless we had an iron curtain like the USSR and were willing to shoot and kill anyone trying to cross it. The only way to stop the illegal immigration is to have a national ID card and extremely stiff penalties on employers and enforce them. You can't blame people for coming here if there are employers willing to hire them and they can make more money here.
