was already a large influx of undocumented unskilled migrant workers in the 1980s and the thai economyenefited immensely from the cheap labor provided by them. since 2002, the thai government has been allowing the hiring of migrants from country for specific work if applications are improved. in the past, thais from the northwest of the country were willing to take on low paid work, but recently many of these workers have been migrating to south korea and taiwan in search of higher wages. in order for myanmarese to work in thailand, they need some form of official i.d. and a work permit issued by the thai government which is applied for by their employer. many myanmarese don't know about this system and even if they did, most would prefer to rely on brokers and work illegally. this is a public elementary school in the suburbs of maha chai. at this school, more than 200 of the 317 students have parents who are undocumented migrant workers. only 25 of the students are thai. seven years ago, the thai government began providing rights to education for all children regardless of their paren

we have a pleatly adequate supply of low and unskilled work force. in fact, we have an oversupply of low and unskilled work force never category that shows the highest level of unemployment, we also see that those highest levels of unemployment are in the lowest and the unskilled work force. this isn't 1900. this is 2013. america needs educated people, talented people, people that contribute to the economy and contribute and pay a net increase in taxes other their lifetime so that this economy can grow. and to take on the load of funding people who would come here without skill, without prospects of those skills is a foolish thing to do from an economic perspective and there will be those who say that, well, maybe so, but, the next generation will far surpass, this is a multigenerational investment. to which robert rector says, no, even if the second generation all graduated from college if they all turned in this ability to have an average college surplus of $29,250, they still could not pay back the deficit of $6.3 trillion and all of them are not

has used unskilled immigrants throughout its history. they worked in factories, on farms, in hotels and restaurants. and over time those workers could see their opportunities change as their families' life chances improve. for two different views on immigration and the low-skilled labor force in history and moving forward, we turn to may nye, a history and asian-american studies professor at colombia university and carol swain professor of political science and law at vanderbilt university. professor nye, let me start with you. >> as we look at the long arc of american immigration law have there ever been attempts to distinguish between high-skilled and low-skilled labor? >> well that's a great question because it's actually a fairly recent phenomenon. in the past we actually had no restrictions on immigration so anybody who wanted to come just came. and they found work and at the turn of the last century 100 years ago most of the immigrants who came actually were in the lower-skilled strata. >> suarez: on balance in your view, as a hist

> the overall goal is to produce some sort of cash corroborate that requires low investment that unskilledined farmers can create on their own. >> the end of all this the product of course produces is young men and women who we aspire to be able to drop down into any messy situation and have them land on their feet and make progress. this is the last model. it is loaded up with like a scooter at one point, beer, a bunch of people, water maybe this far off the edge. >> a very distressed. >> very distressed. >> and they dump it all on the shore and that is the last mile. >> in ghana, he most of the emphasis is on agriculture. we're looking at cocoa, processing, and the tools that are involved. >> machete sharper. this is a big deal. people sharpen machetes three times a day when they are doing field work and have stones in the field and stones at their home and spend 10 to 15 minutes each time. you can get that now in two minutes. you can potentially contribute a 1.5% productivity if not more to the entire agricultural sector of the nation. >> what every team delivers to their partner is ide

working in the so-called shadow economy, nannies, construction workers, retail clerks and other unskilled labor often work for cash under the table and don't report their income to uncle sam. today's shadow economy has become much more than those provisions. ashley joyce has more. good morning. >> these are people with college degrees we're talking about, computer programmers, talking about graphic artists and tax accountants. they don't always pay taxes on their income but they're still working, still making a living. they're just doing it off the books. who are the people working in america's shadow economy? it's probably not who you think. >> the shadow economy isn't necessarily comprised of people making $5 here and $10 here. it's designers, computer programmers, tax accountants making tens of thousands of dollars but who prefer to do it off the books. >> reporter: he's a professor of sociology and dedicated his career to studying criminal side of the u.s. economy. he's discovered a growing number of americans working in the shadows are not typically what come to mind when you think o

>> well, we are seeing a true bifar cation of the market between skilled and unskilled labor.mployment numbers bear that out, and for recent college graduates, high school graduates, and unskilled labor to find jobs, at the opposite end, it is extremely easy for skilled labor, experienced labor to get jobs, and so conversely, companies are having a very difficult time finding qualified talent to fill more advanced positions. dennis: part of this is the entire shift the economy's made from micking stuff to instead accident happening digital bits on the internet and skill sets have not kept up, i assume. >> exactly right cop bibled with the rei -- retirement of the baby boomers. dennis: yes, and many in mcdonald's jobs. if the online revolution helped us look at jobs online and jobs like yours advise employers, why is there a gap between skills and openings? >> well, there's not enough people because retirement, the baby boomers, genx a smaller generation in terms of the number of people, and those working, in combination, there's not enough people to fill jobs that require expe

adviser without disclosing his financial interests so we kind of rushed headlong into these really unskillful and strategic spending choices based off of the fear of the moment and the conflict of interest driven advice of policy experts like that and it is something that the government continues to spend money on but the government isn't. the only customer for this drug for this particular company which mr danzig was the director of the end of the purchase was the first major purchase for that company in their company is human genome sciences inc as well so how does this play into the conflict of interest allegations i mean obviously has to play something into it. and look that's a great i think most startup entrepreneurs would love if their first cell could be to a single customer for that type of figure i think it's incredibly questionable in the whole. policy process of having a guy who serves on advisory boards who has a lot of policy expertise and then directly having an undisclosed financial stake that just can't be driven home enough it's incredibly questionable and the contract refle

about half of the increase is unskilled. we accelerate family integration and create new avenues for unskilled immigration. in the past, it looks like half of all legal immigrants have only had a high school education. in the future, and thinking about this, we have to have a policy that reflect these realities. remember, in 1910, federal state federal, state and local expenditures were something like five percent of gdp. today, the size and scope of government is fundamentally different and we need an immigration policy that reflect that. with regards to illegals, that means however many we let state, if we decide to do that, each incremental increase increases the cost. if we let half of them stay, it is more costly than letting one quarter stay. if we let three-quarter stake, it is much more costly than letting have stay. -- letting half stay. those are the things we have to think about. in conclusion, it is important not to think of the fiscal costs as some kind of moral defect or deficit on the part of the immigrants. r

we are getting it a lot of influx of unskilled labor and the state.here is ao the issue that permits, homes that are going to be built, peoplfiling for permits is slowing down, but it seems every week a new mortgage banker, rtgage lending division is opening up a retail sh somewhere in texas. gerri: foreclosures remain high in texas. why is that? >> i'm not a texas native but i wi say it was explained to me when i bghmy house there is no pay, no state clause, they don't mess around down here, they will kick you out of your house as soon as you are 90 days delinquent and that is bad for borrowers. there is not a recourse you see in other judicial states, but they do not mess aroundere. the lender can boot you out and sendt on to the next person. gerri: it put a floor under the market because you don't have this experience as you have in interest of the country where it is a clog of people who weren't going anywhere anytime sn, the bas had to sit with the mortgages on their books and the enti market 90 days, maybe that makes sense. thank you for comi on

would be well to just wonder whether obama will ask mexico why it keeps sending its uneducated, unskilledrs to this country. and we also wonder tonight about the issue of border security, with a two men will discuss that what i the odds that president obama will ask the mexican president of mexico will do to secure its side of the border because previous presidents have not asked that question. it will be agreed opporunity. gerri: interesting. interesting stuff. what else are you covering? >> who will be talking with general jack sheehan, former four-star general, what is happening in syria. a global war on terrorism. who will also be talking with paul wolfowitz about global terrorism and the options in syria as well. talking about the markets today. another record for the s&p. things appear to be getting better, don't they? gerri: i'm jealous. all right. thank you for coming on. always great to see you, and we will be watching. gerri: good to see you. thanks. gerri: now we wanted to bring you the latest developments of stories we have been following. charter school teachers have voted te

americans working in the so-called shadow economy, nannies, construction workers, retail clerks and unskilledwork for cash under the table and don't report their income to uncle sam. today's shadow economy has become much more than those professions. zain asher joins us with more on this. >> these are people with college degrees we are talking about. computer programmers, graphic artists, even tax accountants, which is ironic because they don't always pay taxes on their income. the bottom line is they're still working, still making a living, they are just doing it off the books. who are the people working in america's shadow economy? it's probably not who you think. >> the shadow economy isn't necessarily comprised of people making $5 here, $10 here for goods and service. it's people who are designers, computer programmers, people preparing taxes, accountants, making tens of thousands of dollars, but who prefer to do it off the books. >> this is a professor of sociology and columbia university. he devoted his entire career to studying the criminal side of the u.s. economy, but a growing numbe

the expansion is happening in the unskilled workers, and that is one of the challenges.hat we were really close the working with the trade schools to increase the amount of skilled workers. liz: are you having a problem importing some of the steelworkers? because a lot of american companies are being prohibited from doing so by some immigration laws. >> we work very closely with the government, but also the u.s. to make sure that we have their rate -- red skills to do the job. essentially we find the workers locally. liz: let me get to warren buffett. you remember when this came through. the company that he owns made a massive purchase of your global 5,006,000 series jets. he doesn't make those kinds of decisions. i spoke to him this morning and told him that i had you. he said that he and executives the minute they got that plane or not so interested in the gulfstream anymore. that is a big statement. >> i like to hear that. of course this is an airplane that really brings unique features to the executives that travel. for example, the cabin comfort. you are flying at h

immigrant groups, more underclass behavior, less social trust, and nn kraan increase in proportion of unskilledthe american labor market. he has decided that immigrants are just not as smart as whites, but the fact they will have b h low-iq children and grandchildren is difficult to argue against. he wrote in 2010 for alternativeright.com in an article entitled model minority, question mark, he pushed back the notion that they have pushed up the crime rate of hispanics. he said hispanics are substantially more likely than whites to commit serious crimes and u.s.-born hispanics in particular about two and a half times more likely. this discovery precipitated huge backlash by conservatives. but it was written that it's an unpleasant reminder that sincere opponents of reform should distance themselves. then there was this super-awkward exchange when heritage foundation mike gonzalez went on the radio yesterday to defend its study and its co-author ridgewine. are y >> are you standing by the premise that hispanics have low iq? >> no, that's not our position. >> so why is he an author in your study?

to be unemployed and further suppress the wages of people in those job categories, those low and unskilled job categories, further suppress those wages, when we are living in a welfare state that has to sustain these families that cannot possibly earn their own way in this society. culture has changed. the economy has changed. because it's changed we should be keeping up with what has taken place and understand that it's different today than it was in 1900. for the most part this congress acts like, everybody that came here as a contributor to our economy and society so there's no limit to the amount of people who should come here. i ask them sometimes how many people should be coming into the united states legally and illegally all together? what would your annual limit be? would you cap that somewhere along the line? what should the population of the united states be? next decade? next generation? next half a century? they cannot answer that question. they will not answer that question. in fact, in a hearing at ellis island on that year i mentioned about, i believe that was 2007, april 1

the technological revolution has opened a huge divide between the skilled and unskilled. a gap that is affecting every measure of personal accomplishment and national strength. make no mistake, our country's challenged and we cannot afford to fall behind. finally, we have to persevere in our support for a democracy. there are some a look at the electoral gains made by islamist parties in the arab world and conclude that democracy is more likely to cause trouble than relieve it. after all, the new government in egypt has yet to find its political footing while the country's economy has slowed and the tourist industry has crashed. in libya, gaddafi is gone, but the new regime is weak and too weak to maintain order in the face of powerful militias. among palestinians, the electoral appeal of hamas has undermined middle east peace efforts, while in iraq, elections have done little to narrow ethnic and religious division. these and problems elsewhere cause me to worry that skepticism about democracy will grow. already, we you're influential voices talking about freedom up with

on the unskilled workers, and a lot of people are unemployed that our citizens here, and they shoulde hired first, and sanctions should be put on the employers who are hiring illegals. if they didn't have work, they would not come here. we have a lot of people that need work that are american citizens, born here, that should be given the work first. host: richard, the question of -- jobs came up yesterday. lindsay graham talked about the difference between the mexican and canadian border and how jobs come into play. let's take a listen. many fencesnow how we have along the canadian border. if we have any, i don't know about it. i don't know how many security people we have along the canadian border. i doubt it is 21,000. why are we uok up there and not to the south? the tale of two borders -- why is one of problem and the other is not? because canada is a place where people like to stay. they like canada, we like canada. we love to have them visit, they want to go home because it is a nice place. people coming across the southern border live in hellholes. they don't like that. they w

skilled or put another way, we accelerate family immigration, and we create new avenue news for unskilled immigration. it's not clear if the bill changes the skills mix of immigrants very much, and in the past, it looks like half of all legal immigrants have not had -- have only had a high school education. .. and if we let them all stay in the costs are quite large so that is the thing we have to think about when we try to weave our way through this but in conclusion it's important not to think of these has just some kind of a moral defect or deficit on the part of the immigrants would rather than the reality will come of the educational attainment of illegal immigrants and the existence of the well-developed welfare state. >> i want to thank the bipartisan policy center for having this event, and letting me just say i want to take a moment to applaud the commission to a five worked with the bbc in the past and it is a place that fosters this kind of dialogue on very tough issues and make sure the plans get represented and i think that is something to be applauded in this town. this is a

business owners, but the best case and example might be the landscaping industry, which tends to employ unskilled. often, there is cash. there are also industries in construction where wages are substantially higher. there may be benefits to pain in cash rather than recording and cashting -- paying in rather than recording and reporting income. .here are undocumented workers those industries covered a wide range of categories. they have a variety of reasons including arting, federal law that they are violating. we have quite a range of firms and industries that engage in this type of activity. host: when you consider somebody who works in a hair salon or as a waiter-waitress and gets tips and does not necessarily report all of the tips, are those considered underground economy? extent theye receive tips and do not report them accurately, they are participants in the underground economy. absolutely. host: is there an estimate of how much this does not go into the u.s. treasury because of the underground economy? guest: there is a range. you have to look at what he considered to be a realistic meas

the wrong schools, but it's clear that education is the way to have a better income than being an unskilledbate that one. the second point, maybe we'll agree, interesting studies that for many people, mika's point, you shouldn't go to some very expensive private college when you could go to a state school for a much lower price and probably do every bit, and the studies show do every bit as a well in your later life. >> except the problem is now some of those -- for out of staters -- >> places like the university of michigan or virginia, they don't let you in. 85%, i think by the legislative fee, ed, has to be in state. that's crazy, i think. >> penn state. >> penn state is not so cheap any more. that's the point i'm trying to make. >> a lot cheaper than -- >> it's not $50,000. >> that's correct. >> that differential is narrowing dramatically. that college degree versus high school diploma. >> you're talking about incomes. >> lifetime income. how much of that is concentrated in the earnings of the top 100, 150 college graduates? that's one question. a lot of the studies suggest an awful lot

and so the more people we bring in that are unskilled, the more it's going to suppress the wages andhe in the un- and low-skilled places. high skilled pays good and has good benefits, they're net contributors. t the people that are here unlawfully that are high school dropouts, they're not. this group of 11.5 million that's the subject of this bill which likely will be 33 million or more, this group can never be net contributors to our economy. not in a single year of their lifetime. and neither can the next generation compensate for that loss. $6.3 trillion according to robert rector of the heritage foundation. so mr. speaker, i hope that there are a lot of people that realize the magny tured of this colossal proposed mistake. and i hope that the good judgment and the constitutional sound think theaninged good conscience that comes from the american people as manifested in the united states senate and house of representatives and that we will put an end to any kind of an idea of an amnesty bill and restore the rule of law and restore american opportunity and do what's good for ameri.

the technological revolution has opened a huge divide between the skilled and unskilled, a gap that is affecting every measure of personal accomplishment and national strength. the ability to develop and implement new ideas is essential whether we are talking about further scientific breakthroughs, economic competitiveness, preventing outbreaks of epidemic disease or outwitting criminals and terrorists. because knowledge respects no borders, nationalism in this context may seem out of place. but make no mistake, our country's technological supremacy is being challenged, and we can't afford to fall behind. finally, we have to preserve and persevere in our support for democracy. there are some who look at the electoral gains made by islamist parties in the arab world and conclude that democracy is more likely to cause trouble than relieve it. after all, the new government in egypt has yet to find its political footing while the country's economy has slowed, and its tourist industry has crashed. in libya gadhafi is gone, but the new regime is weak and too weak to maintain order in the fac
