Motel housekeepers
Many of the Motels/Hotels today are owned by foreigner, many of them (not all) do not respect the laws of our country. As a result, the motel system is this country was an easy pushover as their rates could compete with other local motels and when those motel folded, they were easy acquisition targets.
The profit model in motel businesses aren't a whole lot higher than grocery stores.
Mexico has had poor people of native and non-native heritage for many years. It suddenly exploded but they don't talk about the cause.
Back a few years ago, there was some trade agreements, NAFTA and CAFTA. These agreements brought many jobs to inside of Mexico and immigration actually started to slow down.
What killed it was PFTAC (the Permanent Free Trade Agreement with China), Chinese were able to undersell even though the Chinese currency is valued half-way between US and Mexican currency. Also, Chinese did have a greater number of educated workforce. In Mexico, your majority of educated workers live in Mexico city don't want to move out into to areas of poverty where the factories were. Some American Companies send American Engineers over there from time to time but very few want to live there. As a result, a great number of these NAFTA factories closed. Mexicans that had left their previous jobs for the promise of working at the NAFTA plants are suddenly unemployed. As a result, unemployment exploded. There is something that could be done about this on Washington's part, they could do something to help Mexico out and change the lives within their own country for the better. We could encourage business to go to Mexico instead of China - keep better care of our own backyard first. American Government though is now compromise, we are in great debt to China and when we do what they don't want then they pull on our strings - ouch! Yes, Our country is now enslaved - thanks to a bunch of greedy wasicu politicians.
Look at the families being broken up by this immigration problem on the other side. "Remittances" (money sent to Mexico by legal and illegal immigrants to relatives) is now the countries largest income source. The Mexican Government doesn't want to stop it, some US politicians have been in trouble for hiring illegals to work at their homes - they don't want to stop it. Service businesses that make trifle profits will do anything (even illegal) to get an edge on their competition, especially in a bad economy. (BTW - many of the business that hire illegals are not American owned - they don't care)
What I said earlier about fairness is that someone is breaking the law to get a competitive edge. What about fairness to other minorities that want jobs, I have an African-American friend who lost his job to two illegals that would work for $4 an hour under the table.
Of course, fairness doesn't really exist in this world. (Only in the world hereafter)
Just look over the horizon of what this could do to you even.
Social Security, the worlds greatest
Ponzi scheme ever conceived. When it runs out of money, a generation who worked will be sorely deprived (It'll probably be gone before I retire). People who are working under the table and not contributing to the taxation are shortchanging your future. I'll have more to say about that in another thread.
The problem is that the illegal doesn't stop being illegal at the border. There are hard crimes like drugs and gangs that perform all manner of criminal activity. There are the crimes against society, that is non-contribution, no taxes. What fairness is there to an African-American or a Native-American in this country working hard in some restaurant making next to nothing when some illegal takes their job for a small amount (which is actually larger then you calculate "Net Income" compare to "Gross Income"). The citizen of this country trying to make it in hard times is screwed. I don't like that.
Oh, and all this support to the illegals - what if it could have gone to CRR, Pine Ridge, Standing Rock - the forgotten people.
