Amnesty In America

MASHfreak, you talk of two sides, but you only seem to deal with one type of immigrant? What about the highly skilled immigrants? The people who are brought in because there is not available USC with the desired skills. They come here legally, but are also affected by laws made to deal with illegal immigration. You need these immigrants, if only to replace the skilled Americans who emmigrate out. Entire different ball game but same ball field.

What I hear is that American business wants the opposite - unskilled laborers who will work for next to nothing, doing jobs that "Americans don't want to do" (translate: business doesn't want to pay Americans enough to do those jobs). I don't have a problem with these folks becoming US citizens, and play by the same rules that we do. They must make minimum wage, and pay taxes, and businesses must be penalized for paying "under the table".

Not so, this has no effect on people that are here legally, that I can see.

I thought we were specifically talking about illegal immigrants.

Either or, I am in favor of keeping these highly skilled immigrants, who wouldn't? Unless you are getting at something different.
