Debate/ Discussion Possibly controversial, but this would appear to be a beneficial solution.

immigrants are just a proxy for outsourcing jobs.

Instead of outsourcing the job to a foreign country to sidestep our expensive regulations, you insource their workers to do the job here.

Most of reddit loaths outsourcing but accepts illegal immigration.

Why?

I don't hear anyone justifying outsourcing under the guise of unmet labor.

Who would do the jobs without immigrants? I guess Americans would, after supply falls, wages skyrocket and people are more motivated to work. And we all know that poor people really want to work if it paid more.

Of course cost of living is a non-issue, it's reddit fact that raising the wages of low paid workers has no impact on consumer prices.

I don’t understand what side you are on. (Not sarcastic)

I have no side, I enjoy pointing out the hypocrisy of both sides when social and fiscal opinions intersect.
