How much do migratory workers keep inflation down by doing the dirty jobs for low pay?
Q. I'm mainly referring to the illegal immigrants who pick produce, work in textile factories, work in meat packing plants, do maid service, and things like that. If we deported them all, how would it affect the U.S. economy with inflation,unemployment, benefits, and the like? Can we do without them?

A. I don't know for sure. It's an interesting question though. My thoughts are this: If they weren't doing it (picking the cabbage, let's say), someone would have to. But the companies would have to pay more money to get domestic employees to do it, so the end cost of the product to the consumer (us) would go up. But with all of those auto mechanice picking cabbage, let's say, the wages for auto mechanics would also go up because there wouldn't be as many mechanics in the job market anymore (that whole supply-demand gig). With the higher wages, maybe we could afford more expensive cabbage.

A. It might help if your choices were mutually exclusive. You have three choices by the type of job, one by national origina, and another by political ideology. You might be expecting multiple choices so that this does not matter, but that is not clear. *** News & Views for Anarchists & Activists:

Muhammad was an ordinary worker of Khadija in her Textile business?
Q. Muhammad at the age of 25 got married with Khadija a business lady later helped Muhammad to write Koran with the help of her uncle.
Asked by Dr.Amin - Sat Oct 30 01:48:53 2010 - Etiquette - 3 Answers - Comments
A. According to the Islamic sources, Waraqah was a Christian Ebionites priest[1] living in Mecca, and had knowledge of the previous scriptures. When told of Muhammad's first revelation (when he received the first five verses of surat Al-Alaq), he immediately recognised him as a prophet.[2]. Contrariwise some non-Islamic critics believe that Waraqah was one of the sources of these revelations, insofar as Waraqah may have taught Muhammad about the Biblical ideas and stories which later were to be found in the Koran.

Who would benefit the most if the trade barriers are abolished?
Q. Who would benefit the most if the WTO was abolished and rich countries did not have to eliminate their barriers to trade in textiles? A. Textile workers in Pakistan B. Consumers in the United States C. Textile workers in the United States Yes, this is a question but I am having a bit of problem with this. I can't choose between A and B. It would benefit the workers by giving them more jobs but it would also benefit consumers by giving them cheaper things to buy. I know you didnt read the whole article this came from but from logic which one would have the most benefit? XD Thanks!
Asked by theonlyonesnottaken - Tue Sep 25 22:41:56 2007 - Economics - 3 Answers - Comments
A. The only group that would benefit are textile workers in the US. Since labor is less costly in Pakistan, free trade gives incentives for textile makers to move their operations there and produce more at less cost. This arrangement helps consumers in the US when those cost savings are transferred to the consumers by lower prices. The losers in free trade are the textile workers in the US who lose their jobs when their employers move to Pakistan. Conversely, when wealthy countries do not have to eliminate their barriers to trade in textiles US workers in that industry benefit at the expense of domestic consumers and workers in poor countries.

Does C4's Dispatches reveal why the UK can't afford an immigration cap on skilled workers?
Q. "At both factories, the reporter was warned he would lose his job unless he worked faster. He was paid cash in hand of PS2.50 by one employer and PS3.33 an hour by another; the adult national minimum wage is PS5.93. Textile workers said there were other similarly exploitative workshops nearby. Neither factory asked for documentation to check the worker s legal status, citizenship or right to work in the UK. A large number of the workers are Asians on student visas who are not supposed to be working, according to Gurjeet Samra, a Sikh elder who works with the Indian community in Leicester."

A. It reveals why honest British businesses have been priced out of the market by unscrupulous foreigners. If the government genuinely want British people to get back to work, they need to crack down hard on people employing illegal immigrants. There's not a single white taxi driver in my town anymore, they simply can't match the prices offered by Pakistani firms. If they knew they'd be deported for employing illegals, the practice would stop over night. Instead they're given a fine, which they avoid paying by transferring the business into the name of another family member, and carry on as usual.

Q. "At both factories, the reporter was warned he would lose his job unless he worked faster. He was paid cash in hand of PS2.50 by one employer and PS3.33 an hour by another; the adult national minimum wage is PS5.93. Textile workers said there were other similarly exploitative workshops nearby. Neither factory asked for documentation to check the worker s legal status, citizenship or right to work in the UK. A large number of the workers are Asians on student visas who are not supposed to be working, according to Gurjeet Samra, a Sikh elder who works with the Indian community in Leicester."

A. It reveals why honest British businesses have been priced out of the market by unscrupulous foreigners. If the government genuinely want British people to get back to work, they need to crack down hard on people employing illegal immigrants. There's not a single white taxi driver in my town anymore, they simply can't match the prices offered by Pakistani firms. If they knew they'd be deported for employing illegals, the practice would stop over night. Instead they're given a fine, which they avoid paying by transferring the business into the name of another family member, and carry on as usual.

A. From home, a worker would probably buy wool from a local shepherd, or shave his own sheep. He could work his own hours, but probably worked hard and worked long days because his pay was directly dependent upon how much cloth he could make. When the worker starts working for a factory, he worked longer days (up to 16 hours), and worked with machines instead. He could churn out a lot more cloth, but this time it was the factory owner who was getting rich. The environment was much more dangerous at the factory also. It was not uncommon to become maimed from the machines that had open belts and the like. This was before the days of workman's comp, too.
