There are many advantages of having migrant workers in our country, they take on jobs that we do not want because of a very low wage. We think more about living the "American Dream" and to fulfill our own needs instead of thinking of others. And because of having low wages, women starts to work in order to support the family. Young girls and womens are singled out because they don't have a viable alternative role to fulfill in the local village and if they go to work in urban centers as domestics, they can at least send home money. It is definitely important to consider what wages they get because it is how their family runs, they are human beings and we can't treat them like aliens just because they do not belong here. An average American, who lost his job in the recession will not work in bad conditions under any circumstances. And this is because the way we raised ourselves. If that law was passed here, people are are not immigrant would be more worried because we need someone to take care of the other industries that we refuse to work at, but is very important to us, and only immigrant workers can work at those industries.

I absolutely agree with you, especially on your point that Americans will not work under bad conditions under any circumstances. It doesn't matter what the unemployment level reaches, Americans won't be out in the fields picking strawberries anytime soon.
