&gt;First, are you willing to pay $500 more for every product, and $10 more for every meal? Companies have to compete, and they are responding to what is necessary to survive. If a company employs 5,000 U.S. citizens and can&#x27;t compete, it may stumble and lay off 1,000 U.S. citizens, or fail entirely and shed 5,000 U.S. jobs, all because it wasn&#x27;t allowed to bring in a few immigrants to grow a little.<p>You&#x27;re playing fast and loose with the facts. $500 for every product and $10 for every meal? That doesn&#x27;t seem like an intellectually honest scenario. Where is that based in reality? Skilled immigration and non-skilled immigration are totally different. No one here is begrudging the immigrants picking fruits and doing farm labor.  The issue is when companies lie&#x2F;cheat&#x2F;commit fraud to outsource jobs that Americans do want and are qualified&#x2F;willing to do, all for the sake of driving down wages.<p>Not to mention most of those &#x27;products&#x27; are manufactured in China already so there isn&#x27;t going to be much price increasing there. Second, what a ridiculous scenario where a company has to choose between hiring &#x27;a few&#x27; immigrants to save &#x27;thousands&#x27; of US workers. Again, where are you drawing these examples from? Clearly not reality.<p>You didn&#x27;t acknowledge what I said and again shifted the goal posts to another issue entirely. This is a pointless conversation if you can&#x27;t even listen to the other side.
