So, when the corporation gets fined do they just start depleating their kids education funds to pay the fine, or sell their SUV's and eat the cost that way? (no silly, they do not. They pass the cost on directly to the consumer...in this case that would be YOU).

No, in this country they tend not to do it, so there is no fine to pass on. I know this seems to be different from the climate in the US, but that is the way it is.

And since they don't do it (assuming the immigrant labor would be cheaper) they pay higher salaries to the citizen workers, which they compensate for by charging higher prices than they would if they hired the illegals, which are still paid for by the consumer.

Acutally the beneift to businesses in this country are in the form of needing to provide insurance and vacation and holiday pay less often. I think it is very rare for compainies to acutally pay them less than minimum wage or less than their citizen co-workers.

If dunkin donuts, McDonalds, etc did not have the immigrants to hire they would need to pay more money to get high school students and college students and part time housewife workers. Those workers are less likely to work holidays without biotching and griping and calling in sick, they want saturday nights off, etc, etc so overall the costs of hiring them are higher. If we pay people to round up the immigrants and ship them out we are going to pay again to the businesses who will need to increase their employee's salaries because that cost will be passed on to us as well.

The immigrants work nights and weekends and holidays, and do so without complaining. These things save businesses money which translates into lower costs to consumers.

If the immigrants disappear those businesses will have to pay higher wages to get people to work weekends, etc and will be trapped into paying overtime at times when someone quits because they want Valentines day off so the manager is forced to work or pay another full time employee double time. The immigrants save business owners and managers a ton of headaches and keep prices to consumers lower.

We have millions of people here who are citizens collecting welfare in one form or another who turn their noses up at the idea of working at McDonalds. Meanwhile we have other people risking their lives crossing the dessert who are excited about the prospect of working that job. In fact they take 2 full time jobs in many instances. I know dozens of illegal immigrants and the vast majority of them work 60-80s hours a week and sometimes more. None of them biotch or complain about it. NONE of them.

Go down to the welfare office or social security office and talk to the people on the dole about getting a McDonalds job and see their reaction. We are paying for the housing, food, clothing, cigarettes, cable TV, etc for millions of americans and people are spouting off about others who cross the dessert to take the jobs those welfare people turn their noses up at. And people are angry about the immigrants. lol
