Republican Party Briefing Points: Immigrants
Let's take off the white gloves and talk of illegal migrants.
Let's take off the white gloves and talk of illegal migrants.
- Migrant labor is often cheap
- Employers favor hiring undocumented migrants as these people have little leverage and are unable to negotiate.
- Home-grown labor expects minimum wage (or more), costly health & safety protections; seniority benefits; etc.
- Home-grown workers expect respect. (Boorrinngg!)
- Illegal immigrants have no such entitlement expectations.
- Good workers shut up - and work.
- Hiring illegal workers lowers local labor salary expectations & job prospects - cutting costs, padding our profits
- Migrant workers are more easily manipulated than locals
- Sexual exploitation of immigrants is very often unreported (tragic!)
- Migrants can easily disappear; few questions are raised
- Illegal migrants often don't know / won't use the law
