"B" - So, where is Michael Moore when you need him ? - NAFTA sends many of G.M. jobs directly to Mexico - and only a few years later, - the one time largest corporation in the World, is complaining about being in big financial trouble. - Plus they just got through slicing benifits, primarily Health Care from their empoyees here and caused a big strike to take place. I'm thinking that as much as the wage, corporations run little or no risk using undocumented workers for as many unskilled positions as possible, because they also avoid, health care benifits, matched witholdings, unions, state boards of labor relations, the folks who monitor minority percentages of employment, LAWSUITS- unfair practices, wrongfull death, work related injury, etc. etc, and any long term financial responsibility for the worker and their family, and a bunch of other stuff that you get the idea of.
Just like EPA laws ( which G.M. also side stepped by moving to Mexico with the "others," ) - were the cost to properly dispose of toxic waste is astronomical - sometimes in the multiple millions per year, - and - the fine for getting caught dumping the stuff illegally maxes out at $ 25,000 or
thereabouts,- then don't both these current legal "set-ups" ( EPA and INS )make for just good corporate business to intentionally violate the laws ??
