We should have a similar "weighting" system when people try to
immigrate here. But the liberals would have a fit and claim that we are being "discriminatory"... Dave When people try to immigrate here, the most important test is whether they are willing to work for some member of the Chamber of Commerce down in San Diego or some wealthy rancher in AZ for about half the federal minimum wage. Then its all about nod nod, wink wink, you *did* have a SSN#, didn't you? The conservative business community is the number one promoter of questionable immigration into the US. Their greed for workers willing to work at starvation wages enables the "immigrants". |

"Harry Krause" wrote in message ... Indeed, and as you know, Canada is one of my favorite places, but... it's a tad cool for my taste. I have a retired buddy who moved to Costa Rica a few years ago, bought himself a small coffee plantation for under $100,000, and plays at farmer and fishing guide. Costa Rica is pretty stable and the weather is great. snip.. A buddy of mine, who has pretty well lived in the Caribbean since 1979 always said Costs Rica would be a good place to move to. At one time, all you needed to immigrate was to show an income of $ 1000.00 per month. That figure might be $2500./month or so now but still reasonable. I find the January-March period very tiresome here. Maybe I should take up skiing or snowmobiling. |
Gould,
Do you have something against unskilled Mexicans who are willing to work for minimum wage? "Gould 0738" wrote in message ...

He's just showing the typical liebral snobbery. If mexicans are willing to come here and work 12 hours a day for 4 bucks an hour, live with 5 others and send half the money home....so what. They most likely consider it a step up from the $5 a DAY that they were making at home. It is the liebrals that don't want that sort of immigration, because it kills their union thug donations.

It is illegal for anyone to pay someone less than minimum wage, and wither
you agree with it or not, you should not break the law. If someone knows an employer who is breaking the law, they should turn them in so they can be prosecuted. Why should an employer pay more than the market price for labor? I know there are many skilled Mexican construction workers who earn substantially more than minimum wage. I replaced tile in my bathroom and the contractor was paying the Mexican $35/hr plus benefits. If an unskilled worker wants to earn more than minimum wage, he needs to learn a skill and increase his value. "P.Fritz" wrote in message ...

If an unskilled worker wants to earn more than minimum wage, he needs to learn a skill and increase his value. I a fully aware of the minimum wage, my point being that having a minimum wage is simply wrong.....If a worker is willing to work for $4.00 an hour, why is it the guvmint position to say, no he can't. I am well aware of the skill and work ethic of Mexican workers. Th crew that did my house addition never stopped working, and finished the job in half the time a union crew would have.
