No, you are wrong. In fact, the money that immigrants send home to their countries of origin should be something you appreciate, because it is the single reason why you don't see 10 times the amount of illegal immigration that you see today.
Not to mention the fact that all the working under the table being stopped would add to the tax coffers, help bring pathetic wages up for hard working Americans...and the benefits of cracking down on businesses paying under the table would do for reducing welfare.
You are not considering the economic costs associated with the taxation of those not earning a minimum wage. You don't want those wages taxed because they are not worth the expense of regulation, investigation and collection.
I don't buy that ILLEGAL immigrants help our economy.... at least not in any way that doesn't resemble the plantation format of slave labor....
I realize that, but what you don't understand is that your lack of understanding of the underlying economic facts are what allow politicians to use you as pons for their reelection benefit.
oh- so it is OUR fault people come here illegally? It is up to THEM to fix THEIR GOV'T AND THEIR ECONOMY! NOT OUR JOB!!!!

so you are for people working under the table? Plus you fail to address that these jobs- once the business owners don't have illegals to exploit with klow wages, will have to pay decent wages.....I am against business owners who conduct business LEGALLY carrying the burden of supporting medicaid, social INsecurity, etc....It is ridiculous to award illegal business practices....

LOL! The politicos are not using me...I have had the rude awakening that conservatives are abused the same way blacks are.. just by two different parties....maybe you missed my part about PINK SLIPS FOR ALL OF THEM?
and what do you suppose we do for the kids abandoned by dead beat daddy? the mothers that cook every meal- do all the laundry- grocery shopping, doctors appointments, miss work and can't hold a job because no one can hire and depend on a single mother...her kids get sick, child care can be undependable...they drive crappy cars (undependable transportation)....to heck with them.?...how much does it help our economy when these kids are bound to repeat the cycle instead of having the opportunity to be contributing members of society...?
btw- thank you for debating without vitriol! We may disagree... but YOU ROCK!
