“Americans, tired of taxation, }

Maybe also the increase in food stamps, etc is because people are gaming the system and claiming poverty when they really aren’t...they’re just hiding in the underground.

Estimates are that illegals are only 1 or 2% of the underground economy. Look at Hispanic (and other) cash workers who aren’t illegal. Many don’t want SS taken out of their paycheck so they take cash.

In mexico only about 60% of the economy is taxed. The rest is off the books. The illegals from mexico and elsewhere mostly work off the books and send large chunks of their paychecks back to their countries of origin

There have been fights in various locations as blacks and whites have joined Hispanics at day labor centers, seeking any type of work or work that brings in money but doesn’t threaten benefits.
