Yea I suppose, but if they pay Americans a fair rate instead of immigrants dirt rates, that tax will be less and Americans on average will have slightly more money.

its not because of the wages, eventhough it has an effect. they would have to pay benefits in terms of insurance, or retirement plans to us citizens, which cost more than just paying wages for a visa worker.
