Yet another tragedy of regulation. Yes, I know unions want to keep competition for their services low, in the theory that they can extract higher wages. But the reality is, the people who want to come to america to work for companies are almost always going to have something that the existing people in america don't- either a willingness to do jobs that american's don't like or think are beneath them or skills that americans don't have in enough quantity.

Limiting immigration is limiting economic growth. The time when the country grew the fastest and most dramatically was also a time when shiploads of people were just showing up.

Every time you see someone saying "we need regulation for capitalism to work" these are their victims. Democrats and Republicans both have a history of denying people human rights, and the right to employ whomever I want-- without regard to where they were born-- in my business is a right that they are denying. It also denies the employee the right to work for whomever would like to hire them.

Government doesn't know best. This is why socialism has never worked.

So, if you're lamenting the way these people have been treated, look to your own voting history.
