Low wages immigrants

Most people, regardless of party, feel that the reason immigrants are allowed in, is because they are willing to do the jobs that Americans will not do and this is true. If things are looked at from a different perspective it opens the door to a new way of seeing the problem. If these people did not do these jobs then either the food would rot in the fields or the farming business would start paying higher wages to encourage Americans to do the work. If a person could earn $40 an hour to pick strawberries or to clean motel rooms there would be no worker shortage for these jobs. These jobs would then go to low income Americans with little job skills or education but the jobs are very important to the rest of the working public. People would have to pay higher prices for food and services but that is the price of providing a job that pays a living wage. That is $80,000 per year but without benefits. What people seem not to understand is that Americans won't do this work not because they don't like the work but because the pay is too low. These immigrant not only work for low wages but they keep wages down in general.
