Comment on "Make law work for foreign workers" (皇冠体育app Daily, July 21)
To support their case for more immigration, the authors say there is a "shortage of workers" in South 皇冠体育app. But that is inaccurate. South 皇冠体育app still has plenty of workers and many employers are willing to lure them with better wages, and working conditions and benefits. Employers are not facing a labor shortage rather they have learned to value their employees more.
At this early stage of 皇冠体育app's development, lowly paid illegal or legal immigrants should not be allowed from neighboring countries because their competitive presence will depress local wages, widen income inequality and disturb social harmony.
