Robert Rector on the Cost of Low-Skill Immigrants

that rector guy is funny he had a tupay and a fake mustash on lol!

LOU DOBBS just loves spreading the disease of hatred and bigotry which infects only the narrow weak minded. He leads a disilusioned portion of america which is victime of a government which currently concedes to elite corporate criminals whose policies are to get richer and burden the rest of America with their greedy corrupt ideologies. The most convenient scape GOAT for their concieved turmult is the actuall presence that made them richer, The hard working immigrants in the country.

You are what Karl Marx used to call the "useful idiot" for the big capital. With your high-minded internationalism, you provide the moral excuse for the big business to get the cheapest labor from all over the globe and to push down the wages of the legal domestic labor, thus enriching themselves on their backs...

You are a know nothing individual. America is built for capitalism look up the word it means free market, this has been loosely regulated since the beginning of our nation. How do you think America has become so powerful its from exploitation of it's workers ex. Slavery, Low-Skilled Immigrants & Ilegal Immigrants hired by business owners/ corporations. If they can pay somebody for $2 instead of $15 they will do it. It's called greed & manipulation. Compassion is a lie is all about the money.

go back to russia LOL

scientastic, no they wouldnt be "forced into a third-world existence." They would move on to other jobs which would be created due through investement of the increased business profits.

Explain how they can do this, if 1) business profits are squeezed by the competition from everyone else who uses cheap labor, and 2) those making cheap wages do not have the resources to train for other jobs?

scientastic, your statement "business profits are squeezed by the competition from everyone else who uses cheap labor" doesn't make sense. If a company's labor costs are reduced then its profits are automatically increased. It is able to sell their goods at the same price with for less cost. That means more profit.

scientastic, even if you assumed that they did not have the resources to train for other jobs, then they would simply move to new jobs that don't require high skills. Note that population keeps increasing yet job creation always keeps pace with population in the long term. The same thing happens whether it's increased population from births or immigration.
