When the Mormon Pioneers first arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah they found a desert valley surrounded by nearly impassable mountains. At the time, nobody lived there. There was very little useable water (since the Great Salt Lake is saltier than the ocean) and even fewer trees. It is rumored that a fur trapper was in the area and bet them a thousand dollars that they couldn't get anything to grow there.

The Mormons were persecuted for various reasons in the eastern United States. Their religious beliefs, while certainly Christian, were unorthodox. They also tended to congregate together and form their own large and prosperous settlements, which represented a political threat to many states. Because Mormons tended to vote similarly (though through no direct coercion from their leaders), many non-Mormons felt they would be outvoted in any election. This and other factors lead to widespread persecution, which eventually lead to their expulsion from Ohio, Missouri, and finally Illinois. General Boggs issued an extermination order that stated that Mormons were enemies of the state and should be driven from Illinois.

Joseph Smith, the first President and Prophet of the Church, had already made plans to move the Saints (or members of the Church) to the West and had even marked out the Salt Lake Valley as a possibility. He was martyred before any action could be taken, however.

Leadership then came to Brigham Young, the President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Acting under direction from God, he lead the Mormons in organized companies across the plains. At one point he had a dream of an angel, who was standing on a cone-shapped peak and pointing to a valley bellow. Later, when the first company reached the Salt Lake Valley, Brigham Young recognized the peak from his vision and climbed to the top. After looking into the Valley, he declared, "This is the place," meaning this is where God had directed him to bring the Mormons.

Some of the Saints felt that it was madness to settle in the valley. There was little water, a vast desert, and a great, salty lake. One explorer by the name of Jim Bridger said he would pay a thousand dollars for the first bushel of corn raised in the Salt Lake Valley because, he said, it could not be done.

Brigham Young replied, "This valley is the place God has appointed for His people. We have been kicked out of the frying-pan into the fire, out of the fire into the middle of the floor, and here we are and here we will stay. God has shown me that this is the spot to locate His people, and here is where they will prosper; He will temper the elements for the good of His Saints. He will rebuke the frost and the land shall become fruitful. Bretheren, go, now, and plant your seeds."

The valley did prosper under the hard work of the Saints, and soon became very fruitful indeed. The valley was useful for other reasons as well. It allowed the Saints to congregate without fear of persecution; they had no neighbors to make nervous, and the desert was so worthless that no one else would want it. They could all receive instruction from their prophet in a day and age when mass media communication was still not available. Its isolation proved ideal, and it lasted until the 1850s with the coming of the transcontinental railroad.

14 years old is the legal minimum working age in Utah, but most companies won't hire anyone younger than 16. There are too many work regulations for people under 16, and there are plenty of adults that need jobs who will be more reliable than teenagers.

Illegal immigrants do contribute in a positiive way to the economy. They have crossed the borders in search of a better way of life. So I am sure they will look for jobs which will help them in acquiring the kind of life they crossed the borders in search of.

Im sorry but illegal immagration is bad for many reasons! If the government does not know they are here then that means they cant make them pay taxes, and if they don't pay taxes and they get hurt then we pay for them to get medical attention. I disagree with the first answer 1000 %!!!!!!! Why should they come here and not have to pay and get there full salary? There are lots of good working people that pay they should to!!!!!

A more complete answer -

Illegal immigrants are commtting a crime. In most instances, they did not apply for a visa at a U.S. Consulate, they did not pay the visa application fees, they were not interviewed for worthiness to enter the U.S., their backgrounds were not checked to see if they were dangerous criminals or narcotics traffickers and they obviously failed to respect the U.S.'s laws. Furthermore, they often times illegally work in the U.S., and they steal or illegally use somebody else's Social Security number to gain employment. Therefore, many times an illegal alien breaks three federal laws.

They work for wages much less than the going-American wage, which results in lower wages for the people who compete against them and need better wages the most - working class US citizens and legal residents. This results in many Americans earning less money and paying less taxes than they should, and further grows the ever-increasing wealth gap between the rich and the poor and negatively impacts the federal budget deficit.

A great number of illegal aliens also traffick dangerous drugs, such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. Illegal alien, Mexican national narcotics traffickers, for example, dominate the distribution of those drugs through-out most regions of the U.S., except for South Florida and New England. 33% of all prisoners in federal penitentiaries are foreign nationals, and most of them are incarcerated for drug trafficking. Check with your local DEA office, and they will cofirm this information.

So, the next time you hire a company that uses illegal labor or if you contract an illegal alien for a job around the house, you are contributing to our nation's economic woes, and you are encouraging our nation to further break from the Rule of Law.
