Illegal immigrants in California alone cost taxpayers nearly 9 billion every year in education, medical care and incarceration expenses.
My office building is currently being rennovated and most of the workers appear to be recently arrived Mexicans. In the past, this work would have been done by unionized contractors. I often wonder why the unions don't make a bigger stink about this. The "too few workers" hypothesis would explain it, but methinks there is something more sinister going on. Specifically, I wonder if the unions have been told to pipe down about this by the Democratic masters.
Yep, and the voters have spoken on that issue. They don't want to pay that money! But they still want to have the Mexicans working for them, illegal or not.
"I'd rather have union labor repair my highways" = "I'd rather pay higher taxes".
Wrong. The cost to taxpayers for illegals AND their families is way more than the cost of an American worker. And American workers spend their money HERE.
They are the reason why hundreds of emergency rooms and hospitals have closed. They are the reason your insurance premiums are so high. They are the reason your drugs cost $50 rather than $10.
It's not that the ones who work here are so sick, although that is a contributing factor. If there is someone back home who is very sick they frequently arrange a 'vacation' for that person to visit a relative in the US. That person shows up at the hospital and is not turned away. You and I are all paying for it. Multiple organ transplants, dialysis, you name it. We're all paying for it.
"Immigrant Money Transfers Expected To Reach $150 Billion This Year"
That's $150,000,000,000 that used to circulate in the US economy via American worker's pockets. It created jobs for Americans and didn't cost the taxpayer one red cent.

They are the reason we have to build 12 new schools in Las Vegas. They are the reason my property taxes rose by $1000 in one year. They are the reason my monthly expenses have risen $240 per month in hidden taxes and subsidies thanks to an $833,000,000 tax increase levied on the AMERICAN CITIZENS of Nevada.
Hey Nick, weren't you the one that suggested we need 60 *million* more illegal aliens to keep our economy going?
It's going the same way everywhere, not just Nevada but Cal, Arizona, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, Idaho, North and south Carolina, North Dakota, NY, Texas, Florida etc etc.
No, I'm the guy who said we need 60 million more people to avoid a crushing workers-per-retiree ratio. We can't have every 2 people supporting a retiree. But that's where we're headed unless we get some more people in here.
God forbid anybody like that should enter our country.
God forbid anymore of them entering our country:
ALIPAC Exclusive: More illegal aliens charged with kidnapping & gang rape
Yeah, we don't have any criminals in our population, and they have nothing but criminals in theirs. Everybody knows that, right?
Su visión y futuro para América es dispicable. La clase inferior que es presente pudo hacer le la sensación mejor, hace una cierta investigación como parada el coolaid.
