How can it be that states are taking in more taxes when illegals are stealing all the good jobs and they don't pay taxes?
It's one of the mysteries and beautious things about a free market economy.
Overall, Illegals are a net negative and even tho they are not taking away the highestpaying jobs imo,, they still do siphon off a good sized chunk nonetheless, but the overall scale of the economy is such that it can still grow regardless how many factors would appear to be slowing it down or bleeding it.
It speaks to the economic strengths that have gotten this country this far. How much longer this will remain to be the case is the unknown, however.
Imagine what it would be doing growth-wise if it hadn't sacrificed so much for other regions of the world as part of the "free trade" agreements of the last 20 years?
That should stimulate some interesting thought and comment.
