Probably threequarters of a million entered illegally. Another 175.000. it is estimated. came to that border and entered legally. that is. children. relatives. and others. Under the quota system. they entered legally. This is a circumstance just on our southern border. The result is we have immigration laws. and those laws are laws that determine how many we can allow into this country. We do that for the protection and for the economic interests of the American people. The American people include immigrants who have been here. came here legally: some have been here a long time. We want to make sure that jobs are available for them. that the middle class in this country has jobs that pay well with benefits. We also have another influence in this country. and the other influence is that larger corporations are now made much larger because of mergers and are wanting to export good American jobs to China and import cheap. substandard labor. particularly from the South. and pay even less than minimum wage. and because they are hiring someone illegal. they are highly unlikely to be critical of them if they dont pay the minimum wage.
