“Corporate America is kind of using Immigration Reform as a means to continue their effort to lower wages in the United States of America”… “Open borders? No that’s a Koch brothers proposal.” (Bernie Sanders)

The truth is pretty simple. Many businesses depend on illegals to operate. Because you can pay them less than min wage.

If you remove all the illegals. Now you have to pay people the min wage. Which is set too high. So the businesses collapse or we have to subsidize them even more. Because a lot of these businesses are farms and for national security reasons we can’t just let them go to waste.

Remove the min wage. Repeal it. Get rid of it. That would significantly benefit the low skill bracket and get rid of this problem once and for all. We can just import seasonal workers on legal visas to come work at these places.
