Hello what world do you live in??Those ILLEGAL Immigrants are working OFF THE BOOKS they are not paying taxes and making them legal will not change that ..it just means they will not have to duck the immigration folks..
These folks are a net loss to our National budget..they suck up tax dollars in medical services and in the schools , other social programs..
$10.00 a head for lettace..well my clients used to go pick it for less than minimum wage .
I have no problem allowing seasonal labor into the country..tracked and returned home at the end of harvest..But I do not want them freely roaming the country, and sucking up our Social Services (which they will be able to do once they are LEGAL)
I was speaking of immigration in general in that comment. I doubt very much that FedGov will stand for an employer not taking payroll deductions on the wages of US citizens. Tax evasion is a major bust.
