Maybe they will demand higher wages instead of scabbing for cash.

Maybe they'll start paying taxes to pay for services they use.

Maybe they will pay in and support social security.

(That's not to say some aren't already paying taxes)

I don't know why the re-pigs are squealing like, well, stuck pigs. The re-pigs are the ones who want cheap supply of labor. The re-pigs are the ones who made it harder to discover phony work documents.

It was the hero of the re-pigs, that idiot Reagan, who granted amnesty to, what, 2 pr 3 million people?

Now the pigs get what they want and they scream bloody murder. Oh yeah, it's not the leadership - it's their brain dead bigot followers.

And,it has been noted more than once, many undocumented are already working. This order puts them "on the books" so to speak. Think of wage taxes that will result as supporting the economy. They'll join other workers in that aspect, for a start.

Let's see. A larger work force depresses the ability of workers to bargain for higher wages. The Republican and Democratic capitalists love illegal immigration-it's their dirty little secret.

Never mind that these worker are already doing those jobs; but will now be brought under wage and hour laws ... increasing wages for everyone.

then, just perhaps, one should have more than 46 posts on their time here on DU.

I'm not suggesting you're a fraud from some tea party group trying to invade DU with silly, non-logical, outrageous statistics, but I'm sure that though has crossed some people's minds.

Inviting this thread to be locked or even removed.

Actually, Obama's administrative reforms may actually REDUCE the number of aliens working here illegally, and force companies to keep better track of their workers' rights to work here.

But you would probably not see that, unless you actually read the actual administrative changes he wants to implement in the next couple of months.

They're just magically surviving instead of buying food.

Do not trust the Daily Caller for analysis of issues.

For example, immigrants actually create jobs. Believe it or not, people actually buy goods and services. I know, it's shocking to realize someone other than corporations makes purchases. Historically, every 10 immigrants have created 1 additional job.

The Daily Caller, counting on gullibility of its readers, isn't going to factor in products and services bought by immigrants. It might cut down on the blind rage they're seeking to create.

You won't notice a difference in the work force. It is not like they have been sitting on their hands for ten years waiting for immigration reform.
What may happen is that the chances for Dems to overturn the past election in 2016 will be improved.

The Daily Caller is a politically conservative[2][3] news and opinion website based in Washington, D.C., United States. Founded by Tucker Carlson, a libertarian conservative[4][5] political pundit, and Neil Patel, former adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney, The Daily Caller launched on January 11, 2010. In late 2012, The New York Times reported that the site had quadrupled its page view and total audience and had become profitable without ever buying an advertisement for itself.[6]



Why are we encouraging any further viewing of this site on DU??
