Does anyone in their right mind really think they
will voluntarily leave and return?
There are many hardworking Hispanic/American
citizens that contribute to our country and many
that I consider my true friends. We should encourage
and accept those Hispanics who have done it the
right and legal way.
It does, however, have everything to do with
culture: A third-world culture that does not value
education, that accepts children getting pregnant
and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to
assimilate, and an American culture that has become
so weak and worried about "politically correct" that
we don't have the will to do anything about it.
CHEAP LABOR?
Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?
Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage
Consumers don't want expensive produce
Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs
But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase
"cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. there
is no such thing as "cheap labor."
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and
five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or
$6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he
pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if
he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned
income credit" of up to $3,200 free.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent
He qualifies for food stamps
He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school
He requires bilingual teachers and books
He qualifies for relief from high energy bills
If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they
qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can
qualify for Medicare. All of this is at taxpayer's expense
He doesn't worry about car insurance, life
insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins
and printed material.
He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00
to $30.00/hour in benefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or
$6.00/hour left after paying their bills and his.
The American taxpayers also pay for increased
crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.
Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT!??
