There are two sides to every accounting ledger. Can you cite the figures for the credit side of the ledger on the issue of undocumented workers?
Well, they do pay a bit in sales taxes.
They also produce more work for less money - and employers are spared the expenses of health insurance and unemployment taxes.
Then, when the undocumented goes to the hospital for routine health care, they are charged more as a cash customer than the guy with insurance (whose insurance company negotiates charges.)
The biggest net gain I see is that if you pay a Mexican crew $10,000 for a home improvement job and save half, not only is your house going to be worth more (so your assets are much higher for each dollar spent), but the banks can loan out FOUR TIMES the amount on their books. So, your remodel job generated $40,000 worth of money to be loaned out and you only spent $10,000. Had you let an over-priced, USDA approved, background checked, insured, licensed, bonded, American do the job, it would have cost you twice as much, generated only half what the Mexican crew did to be loaned out by the bank... and worse... worse... all that capital that could have been generated by the Mexican crew is wasted on the American who takes his money, runs to the stores and blows it on crap made in China, Mexico, Japan, Korea, and Viet Nam.
And there is more...
Slave Labour.
Americans are creating the "
Slave Labour." Let's face it. The average American sits on their ass playing on the computer. They feed their bodies with junk food, booze, drugs (both legal and illegal), screw up their bodies with multiple body piercings and tattoos and a lot of them post 20, 30, 40, 50 THOUSAND or more posts on discussion boards (not to mention other social media.)
They are out of shape, can't show up for work, many don't even bother looking (it interferes with their social media interests.) Those people are not entrepreneurial; Hell they think an employer
owes them a job simply because they were born on U.S. soil.
Taxpayers pay for every person in the United States to go to school and get a high school diploma. Yet most of the people bitching and wailing about so - called
"illegal aliens"
NEVER availed themselves of that free education. Lots of them still live with mommy, living off her paycheck while they hide behind their keyboards, picking Internet fights and complaining about people willing to work to feed their families.
The best you can do for "
solutions" is to
force yourself onto the employer who busted his ass to build a business and make them hire you??? Not once has the anti-immigrant lobby acknowledged that the private employer owns the job he / she creates and should be able to give it to whomever they damn well please.
When someone takes the time to tell you how to rectify this situation without walls, without mass deportations, and without your precious
POLICE STATE that makes George Orwell's 1984 pale by comparison, what does the anti-immigrant lobby do?
You could give Americans dibs on all those jobs you think
"illegal aliens" as you call them are stealing (sic.) You could have wages increased... most of those wailing right now could get a good job (someone keeps deleting my posts that explain how that it is legally accomplished.)
At the end of the day this is really a war of genocide with the trimmings of respectability by falsely accusing people of being "
illegal aliens" with NO REGARD for the concept of innocent until proven guilty / presumption of innocence. You would
FORCE someone to give you something you did not earn and complain about what the person owning the job pays? Just to be clear: You want the ability to steal a job from an employer and force them to pay you what you think is the proper wages?
