If "there were no Mexicans" in your words, the "current market value" for those jobs would be as low as feasible. So you'd have 2 things happeneing:
1. Lower wages for Americans
2. More companies going bankrupt.
Sounds great!! LOL
By reducing the cost of unskilled labor, companies have more capital to invest elsewhere. This creates more better-paying jobs.
Hostility...I use day laborers routinely....it saves me a gherat deal of money and I get a lot done. They are a huge benefit to me and I have more money to spend elsewhere because of them.
Has this phenomenon happened to you or are you going to quote stats all day?
BTW almost every state has sales tax.
If there were no mexicans, then the current market value for those jobs would increase. That is economics 101. Mexicans are great for you. You probably pay them $5/hr and they work their asses off. You get a huge ROI. I understand that. I live in Oregon were they dominate the agriculture industry and you are correct in that if they weren't here many of those businesses would go bankrupt. They couldn't get people to work half as hard for twice as much. That is fine with me. I don't see why making individuals wealthy is important. Also, you are correct on the state sales tax. Only five states don't have one, but you fail to take into account the fact that illegals save their money and send it back to wherever. This is also bad for our economy. For people who own businesses that employ mexicans, they are the shit. For the rest of us they are just shit.
