illegal US immigration

Illegal immigration to the US benefits only wealthy people and corporations who avoid paying reasonable wages, unemployment insurance, workmen’s compensation, social security, benefits, and income tax.

Illegal immigrants suffer because they live in the shadows with limited opportunities and little protection. American citizens and legal immigrants suffer because they pay the high cost of education, medical care, and law enforcement for 14 million undocumented people and many must compete for jobs with unfair compensation.

Anyone who justifies this cheap labor on the basis of lower cost goods would have likely used the same argument to justify slavery.
