How does immigration affect bordering states (TX) unemployment rate?

As a rule it%26#039;s going to increase Unemployment,or at a minimum force people into other professions since most cannot afford to work at the wages Illegals will take. After all it%26#039;s easy to undercut the other guy when you%26#039;re not sending the IRS their cut,as is the case with the vast majority of Illegals.

Others who are forced out of their jobs by Illegals undercutting them will also often go into business for themselves,as my brother did. So I suppose it helps some in the long run. As long as people aren%26#039;t stupid enough to believe that all this %26quot;cheap labor%26quot; is helping them,because it is not helping,and in the long run it isn%26#039;t cheap either.

Every community that gains a large Illegal Population inevitably sees declining schools,increasing taxes,ever increasing crime rates and overburdened social services. So in the long run all this %26quot;cheap labor%26quot; is actually rather expensive.

There are those who say only illegals will work certain jobs. Not so. There are any high schoolers and kids waiting to enroll in college who are legal citizens who apply for temporary jobs in the entertainment industry, restaurant industry, and I can remember when many yard crews were 17- 22 year old Anglo or black men. Illegals have driven wages down, so these legal kids can no longer find work. So... yes, it affects unemployment. Also, where the legal citizen spends his money here, the illegal sends it back home to Mexico.
