How are mexican immigrant a benefit to american society?

Michael

Mexican immigrants bring us a new labor pool that is generally willing to do labor jobs that are thought of as undesireable by some. They also bring us new culture that we can all learn from and appreciate. Not all immigrants are in the labor class though and have education and skills that are needed in many communities.

Unfortunatly these fine immigrants are not well recieved in the US because many of their countrymen do not follow the rules of immigration and enter the US illegally. That is a shame and a disadvantage to these fine, law obeying hard working people.

Cheap labor for businesses. Unfortunately, it is not good for the tax payer. Since we pick up the tab for illegals in jails, schools, and hospitals. It ends up being a detriment.

They aren't. If they want American jobs they should go to India.

This is a mixed bag. By supplying cheap labor they allow businessmen to make more money for their own extravegances. They purchase commodities from businesses and as a result allow these businesses to prosper. The down side is that they usually spend their money in their own community and send much of it to Mexico and Central America where they are benefiting those societies. Our own President and much of Congress has been duped as to the benefits of an immigrant society, but the fact is that the biggest advantage is more constituents and bigger campaign contributions from the companies that benefit from the cheap labor. Much of the American infrastructure was built over the past two centuries by importing cheap labor from poor countries, but we usually did not allow them to be assimilated into the main stream of American society until they had been here for several generations. This latest influx has been invited to stay and without the requirements of speaking English and living at an American standard. Therefore they are creating a third world culture within our borders with the attending problems of disease, urban blight, wear and tear on the health facilities, etc. Those of us who are trying to maintain the high quality of life the US has maintained for the past sixty years are branded racist and narrow minded. The truth is that we are the true patriots who invite any one to live and work here if they follow the rules and abide by the standards that have made this a great place to be.

Legal Mexican immigrants are a benefit to society if they are hard working, honest, law abiding, moral people. We need all of those that we can get. Anyone with those qualities would be a benefit to any society.

Well my friend, that is simple.
I myself save thousands of dollars a year by only paying $1.65 an hour for my laundry to be done, my yard mowed and my underwear pressed and folded. If they screw it up, I can have them beaten for only $5.00.
Does that answer your question?

I really don't see how they are.

$2.00 and hour cheep labor for the already rich

Stock market - manual labor becomes cheaper, so the construction companies' stocks go up.
Also, housing becomes cheaper.
But I should probably point out there are negative effects of illegal immigration to the economy as well.

It gives us someone else to pick on.

illegal aliens have absolutely no benefit to America & Americans...think about it..the jobs Americans won't do? just exactly who do you think were doing those jobs before our government stopped enforcing the immigration laws and big business could lower the wages below what an American household needed to live. I know this sounds strange but the illegal aliens are getting so much more welfare than middle-class Americans from our states and government they don't need a liveable wage...so not only are they breaking the law when they enter our country many, many of them are having anchor babies to qualify for government aid the rest of them are stealing identities of Americans to receive aid....how many Americans do you know that would break the law to receive welfare and have the gaul to march in the streets, hang our flag upside down & demand their rights....Our government is biting off more than middle-class Americans can chew with their amnesty approach to illegal aliens!

Remember not only Mexicans are immigrants, Central and South Americans. They perform jobs that pay the minimal wage. But they won't come to the States legally, so they choose to be illegals.

The illegals allow businesses to pay them below minimum wage.

They actually work and don't sit on welfare like some people who are capable of working

fact, the population of a country such as USA depends on immigrants in order to sustain itself, due to a declining birth rate.

Accepting immigrants brings new skills into a country. Basically, some do 'jobs no one else will do' because of the open opportunites not present in Mexico.

They do jobs most young people would not do.

they probably do the jobs americans wouldn't?
