I'm against anything that causes an American in his or her country to compete against a non-American to survive.
That's just flat out silly. If someone is in this country
legally not only am I not bothered than an American might have to compete for a job but I won't even shed a single tear if he ends up not getting it. Competition is what this country is all about, across the board.
Will you argue that so-called Immigration Reform is good for the American worker, Tony?
I don't know about Tony, but I'm as uninterested in the "American worker" as I am in the "Chinese worker" or the "Vietnamese worker" or whatever. In looking to hire someone, I seek to maximize my reward: that is, to get the most skill for the least amount. The curves and cutoffs aren't always the same of course - the "sweet spot" is different if I'm looking to hire an engineer to design something than it is when I'm looking for a gardener to take care of my yard.
Immigration reform shouldn't be examined based on how good it is for some hypothetical, individual American worker. It should be examined and evaluated based on how good it is for America.
