Then some will argue for the illegal unskilled laborer that floods many of our cities. Coretta Scott King and many others in the minority civil rights area often spoke out against illegal immigration and this was one of the main reasons. They depress wages and adversely effect our own minority communities where the unemployment rate has always been about twice the average at any given time during recessions and other economic conditions. 


In the case of our current governor back when he owned restaurants and employed such illegal labor when mayor, one who went on to murder a Denver Police officer, many also adversely impact our cities in many other ways, with some having been deported many times over. But as our governor stated after the murder occurred, "The buck doesn't stop here!".


As the economy heats up, wages should go up, but in the unskilled markets where the majority of labor exists, there exists many who undermine that wage increase by paying illegal labor. 

Sad...
