Memo to republiker party: Mexicans don't drive down wages. Right to work laws do.
Or should I call it "Right to pay slave wages laws?"

2. Businesses who hire and make efforts to entice them here
in order to have cheap labor are the real culpris.

Right to pay slave wages occurs in even highly unionized states.

Right to work laws are the best friend business ever had.

3. Darned straight
I live in a right to work law. It gives me the right to work in a freezing office (50 degrees-68 at warmest) for $8 an hour with no raises in 3 years, with no health care benefits. It gives my boss the right to lay off the most experienced worker and replace him with a new hand making lots less money.
