I'm asking for it, fine. But can someone please explain to me why this is so terrible?: "Mr. Bush already has made it clear he is moving forward with his guest-worker proposal to increase the number of legal permanent residents the nation allows and to create a renewable three-year guest-worker visa that would match foreign workers with employers who couldn't find employees."
C'mon....don't be so naive. What employer wouldn't be "willing" to shed his American workers @ $ 15/hr. that forces him to pay FICA and other payroll style taxes in favor of a "willing" Mexican @ $7/hr. thus being able to criminally EVADE all those payroll taxes that honest American employers are stuck paying. Add to that all those "services" for his new employees that taxpayers get sucked into paying because he's not paying a livable wage and you have a recipe for disaster. It's all about the greed employed by many employers to lower their labor costs without having to lower the price of their end product. Noticed any decrease in the price of new houses even though many Mexicans have replaced American contractors.....noticed the crap work they do also?
The question is why couldn't these employers find employees.
If the answer is these crumby jobs only pay $4.00 an hour with no health or retirement benefits, then we don't need these stinking jobs here.
These jobs don't pay enough for a person to support a family of 4 or 5.
Who do you think has to support all of these deadbeat, illegal immigrant families that can't afford to feed, house, clothe, educate or pay for medical care for themselves?
The rest of us U.S. Taxpayers do, that's who!
Why do you think this boneheaded administration is on it's way to borrowing our federal government, a record, $1.5 to $2 Trillion dollars further into debt in just 8 years?
A public school education costs $14,000 per child, per year in some major American cities.
If Juan and Maria are both working $4.00 an hour jobs and have 5 kids, they'll bleed $75,000 in education dollars, thousands in medical, food, housing and clothing subsidies from the U.S. Taxpayers and receive a $5,000 Earned Income Tax Credit Check in addition to whatever income tax they paid that year.
These 3rd world leeches are bleeding our country dry.
