Probably the same reason Vietnamese immigrants in the '70s and '80s got preferential housing and job treatment over returning U.S. Vietnam war veterans.
Our government has messed up both of these countries and displaced their populations. The Vietnam conflict was largely part of the Cold War; Mexico troubles stem mostly out of USA greed, period.
Here is an article with some comments from different political figures.
While Republican lawmakers have already expressed concern that President Obama’s executive amnesty will have a negative impact on unemployed Americans, The Washington Times is highlighting another aspect of Obama’s actions that will make competing with amnestied illegal immigrants for jobs that much more of an uphill climb.
Nearly five million illegal immigrants will be eligible for legal status and work permits under President Obama’s amnesty. They are not, however, currently eligible for Obamacare.
According to the Washington Times, because the amnestied illegals are exempt from Obamacare, employers who decide to hire them will not have to pay the $3,000 annual penalty for each employee who goes on the Obamacare exchange and receives a subsidy.
“Under Obamacare, businesses with 50 or more employees are supposed to provide insurance coverage to their full-time workers,” The Washington Times’ Stephen Dinan reports. “If they refuse, they are assessed a penalty for every employee who receives subsidies to sign up for coverage on the health exchanges. But because the newly legalized illegal immigrants covered by Mr. Obama’s order can’t sign up for the exchanges or receive subsidies, employers aren’t penalized for hiring them.”
Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) 60% expressed frustration about the possibility that Americans could be further harmed by the pairing of Obamacare and Obama’s amnesty.
“If it is true that the president’s actions give employers a $3,000 incentive to hire those who came here illegally, he has added insult to injury,” Smith told the Washington Times. “The president’s actions would have just moved those who came here illegally to the front of the line, ahead of unemployed and underemployed Americans.”
Rep. Luke Messer (R-IN) 50% on Fox News Tuesday morning called the loophole another “unintended consequence” of Obamacare and another reason to follow the Constitution.
“Now we have a situation where we have an incentive for employers to hire these folks that are here illegally because they won’t have to pay the penalty,” Messer said.
Republicans still have not enumerated their plans to combat Obama’s executive action but say they are working on a response.
I don't believe u.Not many people believe u.! Anyway we are all immigrants in the world, We all only born to live here for a while. So your thread only works with brittle minded folks like yourself.
Every European government is doing the same, so why not America?
Back in the 70's when Britain was being flooded by people from India, one person said "Perhaps it is best if we leave Britain to the Indians and the British go and live in India".

incentives by government nothing new it's been done for hundreds years, and believe it or not most incentives goes to Americans with a higher education to work overseas

What I meant is you're full of baloney.
Yes so why did they established proprietorship of land? Or you want to violate local and international laws?
$3000.00 to hire “Native-Born Americans”? Does that include or exclude Native American people? Knowing the negative attitudes towards Native Americans, I would venture to say they are excluded from any hiring policies. Seems that white american immigrant descendants hate the Native Americans too much to hire them. I sometimes wonder who are hated more by the whites, the native American/ Indians or the Afro Americans; both seem to always make good target practice by many whites and especially their police forces….all good citizens all just itching to take the laws into their own hands…back in those nostalgic days of George Bush, one very loud supporter stated that ‘Americans are defined by who we hate!’ I’ve wondered what that definition is….or would it have to be ‘expletive deleted’….
Nidifugous: The government will easily recover those $ 3000 in tax revenues when those people hold legal, taxable jobs.
Completely ridiculous argument that rests on the assumption of infinite resources and growth. You must believe that every job filled in the labour market creates an equal job somewhere else - which doesn't necessarily happen during the best of times/biggest of booms, let alone when times are hard.
Anyway, they can tax a job with or without making an American worker redundant. And the one redundant worker will cost America more than the taxes on one migrant wage.

This is what worries me about America's leftoids. You don't need to remind the Left elsewhere that the earth is a finite resource and society lives within limits and boundaries. The pie being finite is what underlies the argument against greed and the need for sharing.
But the American belief of the infinite pie, utter excess and knowing no boundaries is a disaster combined with the pathological altruism of leftoids. You will give away everything because you expect some godly force to re-supply you and your excesses. Just like your peers on the American Right(since Reagan), you expect money and opportunity to simply fall from the sky.
It's as if you've reverted to the frontier of an undiscovered country with all its potential, or still growing fat off the land and resources stolen from a native people, in any case you have to grow up and stop expecting to be endlessly provided for be it by the market or the state.

You're assuming that hiring a legal immigrant replaces a native born worker. That's not the case. There is no redundancy. We have plenty of low wage and unskilled labor vacancies. No surplus there. These positions are often filled by illegal immigrants now who pay nothing into the system.
Since the link is dead, I don't know what the OPs argument is.
Why would any nation chronically underemployed in a world where globalisation and technological change diminish the value of human capital by the day wish to import millions of cheap and easy labourers?
I know why Reagan called amnesty on the illegals because I can see why Far-Right capitalists would seek to drive down the value of labour to nothing. But to any American not a member of the far-right cartel/capitalist elite you'd be insane to call for amnesty. Be it social conscience or patriotism some reason should make you take the stand against the amnesty.
And if our society and economies ever right themselves, and there is a new surplus to be shared around, you can be damn sure that these profits will not be shared amongst a fractured and multicultural working class that can not stand as one because they are not one people. Mass immigration and the ethnic fractures and cultural chasms it causes are the #1 weapon bosses have against the workers.
And do the politically correct ever stop to consider the effect that mass emigration has on the foreign nation? No, these people are too busy feigning moral righteousness and pretending to know the world and all its culture when they clearly know nothing beyond their narrow, ideological horizons.
that is just a candy ,to prommis money for the hire all the illegal so the now the names from all those poor basterds so the can be deported in the end ,the 3000 they will need to pay the coyotes to bring them bach over the mexican border
galrads: Why does our government do stuff like this...

But, what do I know.
the UN/nwo way,why the satanist want our guns,muslims are tryin 2 takeover UK,etc.itll be on like a pot of neckbones here,dead muzrats or civil war/ww3.
I beg to disagree but the native Americans couldn't be hated by the white people. At least under current system. Question is, why would they even bother getting s job. Their casinos are the most profitable venture in the country of all time.
