I dispute that. but lets assume it is the case. One of the reasons is those jobs dont pay enough. Since the big businesses dont want to raise salaries at the bottom. they say the solution to not having to raise salaries is to bring in immigrant workers who will work for less. Lets not worry about the Americans. If we cant find Americans to take the jobs at the minimum wage and. by the way. this Congress has decided for 8 years it will not increase the minimum wagerthose folks. the working poor and others who work at the bottom of the economic ladder. have not had an increase in the minimum wage in 8 years.
