Ms. Donna Poisi's blog about different news or articles about how immigrants' lives been affected the United States. One of her post talks about how the large amount of immigrates have dominate small business in New York. In her post about she gave the percentage of immigrants making the wages in small industries, such as restaurants, clothing, laundry, and constructions. In her post, it also mentions the unsafe conditions and poor wages immigrants endure for work. Surprisingly, the percentage of immigrants only makes up 36% of New York's population.
The amount of immigrants trying to make a decent living has always been an issue in America history. Ever since it's known as "The Land Where Dreams Come True" myriad amounts of people starts to come. Since America has a policy to give jobs to foreigners before hiring American citizens, this often leads to unemployment. Hey, who wants to hire someone for $7 an hour, while I can pay $4 an hour to someone that's just grateful finding a job? From reading "Working In The Shadows" it makes me wonder, what are the percent of illegal immigrants working?

this is true, its financially easier on a small business to pay an illegal immigrant $4 and not have to worry about getting them health insurance vs an american worker who gets at least minimum wage and soon will force these business owners to get their employees health insurance.
