They got full-ride scholarships to the college of their choosing just because they're Mexican.

I don't know how true this is, but there are scholarships that are specifically for a certain group.

I actually have a few friends that are illegal Mexican immigrants. So maybe the older generations of illegal immigrants aren't taking white collar jobs, but the next generations are on that track.

If the next generation takes your jobs it won't be as illegal immigrants. 1. I don't see many companies hiring illegal immigrants for skilled/educated positions. 2. DACA was passed for the sole purpose of getting students the required documents to work legally in the United States.
If your friends were smart enough to get full ride scholarships they were smart enough to apply for the DACA program as soon as it was made available which would take the tag of "illegal immigrants"

Remember, companies like money, if you have a illegal immigrant who will work at minimum wage with no benifits vs a US citizen who has rights to a ton of benifits and is required by law to be paid more than minimum wage.

I'm not a law expert, but I'm almost positive that the government has no laws that dictate how much and employer should pay an employee(besides the minimum wage law of course)
If I'm wrong I would appreciate a link.

No i know they arent taking "professional work". They are taking the low level jobs that us citizens need and adding in an extra 11million people to an already extremley competitive company

12 years of free education and US citizens can't do better than minimum wage?

Along with that they are remakably cheaper to hire because since they are not citizens of the united states, they do not need the extra pay for supporting a family, health care, and more.
|
WHAT?
Everyone needs health care. The health care is a joke in this country. I hate to break it to you, but you get rid of every illegal immigrant in the country and you minimum wage americans wouldn't be able to afford health insurance.

Its a no brainer the company is going to hire the immagrent. Thats like an extrA 100$ that they save by paying the immagrent over the citizen.
|
The real problem is the lower working american class. They want to clean bathrooms for a living, but expect full health benefits, paid vacation days, pension plans, and bonuses. They want 15 minute breaks every hour. They could easily be hired over the "illegal immigrant" but according to them they're not "slaves"

They are legit the cheapest fourm of labor and the only thing that beats them out is slaves.
|
You know what other labor is cheaper than illegal immigrants? Chinese citizens working in china. Indian citizens working in India.
You know what the worse part about this ignorance is? Your government will offer top students from other countries in important fields full scholarships to schools in America and then hired them over their own citizens. Does anybody ever mentions that?

Fixed by stopping the immense taxes on the companies so it can actually make sense financially to not outsource the work. Companies are going to make money whether people like it or not. Trying to stop them by taxing their work at home is just going to lead them to take their money and jobs elsewhere because it makes them more money.
|
But who's the loser here? US government? The companies? The people?
Which goes back to my point, they take jobs away from their fellow US citizens
