>Let me get this straight, you think we should allow people to enter our country illegally? How does you contry feel about that? Do you have an open border?

No that is not what I am saying. They should simply make it possible
for employers to bring foreign workers in this kind of businesses LEGALLY.
It has to be dificult but possible! Of course only for jobs that you cannot find local candidate. This way both employers and those workers are much better protected.

I leave in country which is pretty sensitive on immigration issues due to the fact that we are small (island) country. Every now & then unions come up with some jewel like 'foreigners are taking our jobs away !!!' but in reality is exactly opposite. Foreign workers are actually keeping meny businesses alive & well and meny well paid jobs for locals along with them.

We are talking about meat and other factories, construction, farms , orange grows etc. You will find no locals to pick your fruits on 30-36c temperature. Wld you do that day in day out ? Or your son or daughter ?
If local want to do so, he wld be more then welcome (no work permit hassle & expences for employer) but simply number of job seekers is ZERO.

There was economicall study done and it showed that since authorities
alowed easier issuing of working permits back in 90ies for such jobs, GDP growt was actually inscreased. Meny bussinesses grew in size and new businesses got established. We hv uneployment rate among lowest in Europe!

Logic is simple;
More sustainable bussinesses - more jobs.
More 'legals' - less illegals :)

Or let me perform one virtual reality experiment :)
Can you imagine if ALL US chicken meat plants/farms were employing only&only (WASP) American workers asking 30k+/year, and chicken meat imports were strictly forbidden ?

What do you think wld be your average KFC bill in that case ?
