Myth #1) Aliens do jobs that Americans won't, therefore there is no harm to Americans. Truth) Incorrect for two reasons: 1. This claim wrongly assumes that Americans never desire or even need to do landscaping; restaurant work; any other of a large number of jobs that aliens are taking. It is a bogus assumption. 2. Americans wants jobs but the presence of illegal workers and others in the job market has lowered wages. In some cases aliens have simply locked out Americans and taken over entire categories of work. Myth #2) Illegal workers are good for the US economy. Truth) This is very much a lie. They are good only for the profits of the businesses that hire them. Everyone else suffers, including legal immigrants and even the illegals themselves. The role illegal aliens play in the labor market is to help business owners reduce costs, increase profits, and drive down wages generally for all US workers, which is bad for the economy. They also transfer large amounts of wages outside of the USA which is also bad for the economy. In 2004, the amount sent was $30 billion. Lastly, in the case of retail business, profits suffer when customers become frustrated with people who speak broken English or no English at all. Myth #3) All aliens work hard in the USA therefore they deserve citizenship via amnesty. Truth) It's a bogus argument for 2 reasons. 1. In every country there are immigrants who work hard. There is simply no reason why working hard should gain a person citizenship. 2. Not all aliens work hard or do the same quality of work or work at comparable jobs. Question: If one alien green-card holder is earning his citizenship by working as a soldier in the US military, which shows real commitment, bravery, self-sacrifice and the ability to speak English, why should we put him on the same level as an illegal alien flipping burgers at a McDonalds who refuses to learn English? Thus, some are hardworking, and some are hardly working. Myth #4) US workers are just too lazy to take hard jobs. Truth )False at best, disgustingly racist at worst. This claim is deliberately used to obscure a terrible predicament: Namely, that as more and more American workers are finding themselves laid off due to downsizing and globalization and the mass importation of foreigners, Americans are having to take any work they can get and those jobs are often low-paying. Sadly, it is exactly now that more Americans need those low-paying jobs that foreigners are indirectly locking out Americans and/or bringing down wages. |
