I believe I've explained all this previously if you search my post history.
Nigga I'm not going to go through your post history to look up your opinions on things. Are you real?
1) Poppycock. If we "need" the underclass to compete then that's only because our farms have depended too long on that underclass to function. Cut the crutch and make the farms compete.
2) What spending power? The spending power they have on cents per hour or the spending power that will not materialize on the current mandated minimum wage?
3) If you expect people to cease being considered illegal imigrants and be brought to a legal worker status then you then have to acknowledge those people working under current labor laws and that includes the minimum wage. Are you asserting here that you'd be ok with removing or reducing the minimum wage? Good luck with that.
Exploitation is not exclusive to capitalism and even bringing it up is a red herring. You're admitting that you're peachy with slavery because it keeps the current agribusiness system going.

Exploitation isn't exclusive to capitalism but it is a essential part of it. Nobody would rather be working a burger job than working a job playing video games all day for fun. A worker who works in the farm does far more hard labor than a worker working at a office yet the pay is more at a office. Exploitation is inherent in every system.
1) Good luck with that. We literally have been exploiting the underclasses for centuries. The introduction of Global trade just puts it "out of sight, out of mind".
2) Ironicly enough people do have to spend money to survive. With said monies going into the system it creates jobs and cash flow.
3) I never stated any of that. I simply stated that this is a "problem" without a solution. Throwing money at it is throwing money in a hole.
Honestly this is a "grey area". While it's illegal to come here illegally, its very benificial for the country as a whole.
Here's a example of another grey issue:
A website named "4chan.com" hosts a significant amount of Lolita or "loli" pornography that depicts "drawings of sexually provocative children".
The PROTECT Act of 2003 wrote:
Prohibits computer-generated child pornography when "(B) such visual depiction is a computer image or computer-generated image that is, or appears virtually indistinguishable from that of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct"; (as amended by 1466A for Section 2256(8)(B) of title 18, United States Code).
Prohibits drawings, sculptures, and pictures of such drawings and sculptures depicting minors in actions or situations that meet the Miller test of being obscene, OR are engaged in sex acts that are deemed to meet the same obscene condition.
Now should the police "raid" every computer that has ever gone to 4chan.com? Should they raid 4chan.com? There is freedom of speech you have to think about.
