Again with the personal anecdotes! I also live in Texas have for 40 year!
But I want to see your proof of your subjective statements. Prove to me how much money the state of Texas makes
from illegal immigrants! Remember this is the number from this site:
Learn about the estimated 11.4 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States—where do they live? When did they arrive in the United States, and from which origin countries? What are their levels of education, top industries of employment, income, parental and marital status, health...
www.migrationpolicy.org
So given that the number is understated by say 50% that still is only 2,400,000 illegals.
So prove to me how many illegals work at mowing lawns, etc... jobs that the 0.001523% of the American population
that work at minimum or below minimum wage from this source don't do.
In 2020, 73.3 million workers age 16 and older in the United States were paid at hourly rates, representing 55.5 percent of all wage and salary workers. Among those paid by the hour, 247,000 workers earned exactly the prevailing federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
