It's not the illegals WITH jobs that are a problem. It's the illegals that come here to leach off our schools, hospitals, and welfare programs that are the problem.
Around here it seems it's mostly an overlap of those two --- the man might work --- usually only seasonal jobs for very low pay but lives with woman -- common law wife or other who collects every kind of welfare benefit there is. You often see these families in the store together --- the man is buying beer and cigarettes using cash he's made from part-time jobs he finds here and there and he's with a woman with a bunch of kids who uses a food stamp card and loads of WIC coupons to buy the food.
"It's not the illegals WITH jobs that are a problem."
They are a hugh problem, they are taking the construction jobs, reducing construction wages working for cash making $18-20/hr. with no comp insurance, payroll taxes, or income taxes being paid.
All illegals are problems. Even the ones that DO have jobs funnel billions down to Mexico each year. And that's only the economic side of the issue.
Today I walked out of a cosmetologist because we couldn't communicate... she was a native Spanish speaker turned American cosmetologist--albeit in Miami--and she had no idea what I meant when I said "inch."
You are incorrect. Illegals are taking most of the entry level trade jobs that SHOULD go to kids (US citizens) graduating tech high schools. Not all kids are college material. These kids (hundreds of thousands of them each year), are relegated to dead end jobs, instead of the trade jobs in which they spent 4 yars training for. Once again, Americans are gettin screwed.
