Reply #147: Why would you want to punish business owners who offer jobs

[OregonDem]

to people that pay them 10x the wage they would get in Mexico? With your solution a lot of American business people would lose their businesses, and Mexicans would have to go back to working for .50$/hr in Mexico.
If the border was closed and all the illegals transported back to Mexico than Americans would STILL have to compete with Mexico's farm workers, so it doesn't help the American worker at all. Especially since consumers would buy the cheaper foreign goods, causing Americans to lose their jobs since no one bought their more expensive product.

How does your solution then help fight poverty?
