Robert Robb at the Tucson Citizen equates 'depressed construction wages' with 'liberal' immigration policy.
Liberal policy would be concerned that all workers are able unionize should they choose to and negotiate for fair wages.
It is the business sector that benefits and encourages illegal immigrants.
Instead of raiding businesses for the non-documented our policies and laws should ensure that ALL employees are paid at least the minimum wage, that ALL employees can unionize, that ALL employees have rights and are protected from abuse by employers.
Construction is not the only area of depressed wages. The business community has made much progress in eliminating unions, which I assume Robert Robb knows. It is the business community that benefits from the current immigration mess. Not liberals nor 'liberal' policy.
