We have laws about not hiring people that are here illegally.
What part of that don't you get?
I think they are stupid laws. I don't, in general, support disobeying the law. But when the law is irrational and unjust, civil disobedience is a reasonable response.
What makes them stupid laws? You do realise that the hiring of illegals hurts not just the citizens who have no marketable skills, like georgephillip for instance, but high schoolers who would love to have a job but can't find one at the local fast food joint because they are all employing illegals.
Additionally the "taxes" paid are for the most part sales taxes only (and that rarely if you've ever been to what used to be called swap meets they are now open air mercados and I can assure no sales taxes are being collected there!) as they get paid under the table for most of the jobs they do.
Then toss in the rampant identity fraud that they participate in to get the actual legal jobs they do pursue and you have the cost to the innocent victims to contend with (I myself, according to the IRS have 6 illegals using my social security number. The IRS knows who they are but they allow them to continue, hows that for justice for you?) and then the constant drain on school resources (imagine if the illegals were sent home, class sizes would drop by 10 students here in Nevada) or how about the medical cost, last time I checked there were 40+ hospitals that had been forced to close in AZ and CA.
And all of this is so that the elite who rule Mexico can continue to screw over the peasants.
They push the excess people here to the US to defuse their own internal corrupt problems and you are forced to pay for it. Just think, you rail against the "Man" and the Mexican "Man" is laughing all the way to the bank as you are forced to pay for his cast offs.
Nice job chumps.
