Are Undocumented Immigrants keeping jobs in America?



from outsourcing to countries like China and India?

Like your avitar, but people do not get it. They do not understand the garment industry. They do not understand the sweatshops, the child labor. You will have to back up really far with them for them to understand where you are in all this thought. Realize not all people are at this level of social understanding. Perhaps thinking of a way to start eductating the masses in a way they can understand.
Maybe so.
If thats all thats keeping them here then go.we don`t need traders
We let them think they are. The don't have money to travel to china/India. The Asian companies pay a lot less than we do so why would they want to leave
Let them 'outsource' to their hearts' content. I say any company that only has its' feet in America should go ahead and 'run for the border' and good riddance to em...Mexico needs to START more companies etc...
Yes.
That's actually a good question and one that I doubt most people here will even understand. I once asked if anyone knew if the illegals were working in "tradable" productive chains and got no answer. The point is, if they are, the risk of part of that chain being outsourced is very real. That would mean that not only the illegals would loose their jobs, but lots of legals and citizens too.

Take this hypothetical example (I have no actual data and just made it up for illustration purposes). Lets say that illegals are involved in fruit picking of Florida oranges. As someone mentioned here once, that cost is only about 6% of the total cost of the OJ you buy but, it can represent a lot more of the total cost for the producer of concentrate. So if these positions were to be done buy legal workers costing the farmers the same as any other citizen, the cost of concentrate might increase, say 20%. Now, if you are an executive at a company like Minutemaid you'll be tempted to buy imported concentrate. As a result, not only the orange production will be outsourced, but also a whole industry around that part of the production chain. People who transport, store, and process that will have nothing to do. As a result, peripheral activities will also take a blow. This includes mechanics (tractors, trucks, conveyer belts, processing plant), accountants, local business etc.

On the other hand, if most illegals are working in non-tradable sectors or near the end part of a chain, the impact is indeed minimum (mainly a small inflation surge) and might be compensated by other effects.
