What is so Bad About Immigrants?

As a teenager I am most affected by migrant workers and immigrants coming into the United States (US). The reason this is true is that a migrant worker and an immigrant is more likely to take a job that I am eligible for than an adult's job. Although a migrant worker and immigrant might be taking my job, I still understand how they are good for the US http://www.immigrationcontrol.com/ImmigrantsTakeTeenJobs.htm.

Some, migrant workers and immigrants will take practically any job they are asked to do. Proof of this opinion would be at an apple farm I visited about a week ago. At this apple farm they hire Jamaicans to pick their apples. Any American worker could do this job, but most American workers would not want to pick apples for ten hours in a day at the price a migrant worker might get paid to do the same thing. The advantage of a migrant worker picking apples rather than an American worker is it keeps the cost of produce down.

Another example of migrant workers and immigrants being good for the US is the hotels industry. I have noticed that most people who are cleaning the hotel rooms are immigrants and migrant workers. This is good for the average American because it keeps the cost of a hotel reservation down. It also makes it easier on the owner because then he or she does not have to worry as much about turning a profit, but is it fair for the immigrants and migrant workers?

I think this system is unfair to the immigrants and migrant workers. I think we could improve this process by changing the law. I think a way to fix this is by evening the playing field. For Example, workers in America should get paid at least minimum wage. The cost to house, feed, and give there necessary needs to immigrants and migrant workers should just be taken out of their wages. Therefore it would cost the same to employ immigrates as it does to employ US citizens.

Although I believe immigrants and migrant workers should be able to work in the US, I think the employment process can be made better and fairer. I think the main way to stop unemployment is for US citizens to stop being lazy and go out and get a job. This comment is not directed to people that have been laid off their jobs unexpectedly.
