CMV: The fear of illegal immigrants taking all of the jobs in America is illogical.

Since the beginning of this fine country immigrants have come to make a better life for themselves, and this has made America better as well.  After a period of time, however, the people who have lived here for a time have begun to feel as if we are letting too many people in, and these people have always complained that the jobs would run dry, and the people who are here already will suffer.  

We survived the surge of Irish immigrants, we survived Reagan's amnesty, and we will survive (in my opinion) the new onslaught of immigrants.

The next complaint is that they already have committed a crime by crossing the border.  Well, if my kids were starving, and I knew of a place I could better feed them I would jump the fence or swim the river in a heartbeat.  Additionally, they may not have to come illegally if it was easier to become a citizen.

I am a conservative in most other ways, but Change My View...

Part of the problem is that as more immigrants enter the country, they drive down the cost of labor; when before, a company may have had to pay it's employees 10$ an hour, now they can hire illegals to do it for 5$. The nationals who used to be making 10$ now have to work for five as well if they want to compete with the illegals, so all labor takes a pay cut.
