I don't think we are allowed to accept the same money as them. I'm sure they get below national minimum wage but I don't think a company could legally employ a british citizen at the same wage.
All immigrants pay taxes whether they are illegal or not. They pay them in the form of property tax - directly if they own a home, or indirectly if they rent; sales tax on all the goods they buy, and income tax at Federal, State and local level.
Plus since illegal immigrants often have fake or stolen documents, including fake and stolen Social Security numbers, the money they pay into the system is money that will never be withdrawn. The amount in question is evidenced by the Social Security Administration’s “suspense file” (taxes that cannot be matched to workers’ names and Social Security numbers), which grew $20 billion between 1990 and 1998.
I'm a swefag. A very Swedish swefag, who lives in Sweden. I'm the very definition of Caucasian. But if you're so worked up for being complete **** then please, go ahead and take your anger out on me.
Wait... I thought this was about foreigners stealing jobs. How is that in anyway related to them "roaming the streets and living on welfare"? Now you're being both ****, and confusing. Get a grip man.
I can respect that you don't like Luis CK. But is this really about him being **** , or are you reflecting the anger you feel as to your own, ****** life that's being reflected upon other **** on the internet? **** . Think about that, ****** . Nazi.
I want to support our idiots, whos granfdfathers helped build this country not some other countries idiot who has lived in the mountains ******* goats for generations.
I'd love to pick oranges all day for a living. I had an orange tree in my back yard that was mutated and put out maybe 300 pounds of oranges a year despite being fairly small.
It isn't a matter if speaking the language, or having contacts, it's a matter of the fact that your employer can/will threaten to deport the bastard if he doesn't do the same job you do at 1/10th the cost it takes to have you do the job, which is something the guy would jump on regardless of the threat because 1/10th of your salary is probably still twice what he'd make back in his own country.
And the fact that an illegal who doesn't speak your language can do your job isn't something to scoff at, considering most anyone can do any entry level, part time job without having to speak the language, When I work my job at the restaurant, I know full well it's an insignificant job, but you know what? That job is to pay for school, beer, and rent. If I lost it tomorrow, I'd be more worried at what I'd do for money than ashamed that I lost such a "glamorous" job shaking chicken wings in a bucket to someone who only knows how to read the orders on the screen.
Actually, they don't steal anyone's job. Unless your with them at 7am in the walmart parking lot in new mexico looking for a days labor for cash. The principle is they can apply legally, which countless thousands have done.
Additionally, due to the government being ****** up, they can file for welfare (fake SSN) and soon be able to get healthcare benefits. The really ****** up part is when they come over here just to have a kid so their child becomes a citizen.
Its not the individuals themselves, its the lack of regulation and anonymity of foreign illegals that causes problems. Look at the crime rate and drug abuse and Cartel/gang related violence in border cities. That isn't because a bunch of hard working people registered with the government and found jobs and are now working on becoming citizens, its because anyone who can run jump or swim is getting to America and have a virtually unregulated opportunity to behave however they want to behave.
trust me, mexican immigrants do not pursue much government aide...i live in a mexican community (my parents were immigrants themselves) and hardly any take aide. its a cultural thing. also, in a recent study (i will look for the citation if needed *groan*)mexicans were the most hardworking people. so, its not as if every mexican is in a cartel or supports them (search mexican militias) and not every mexican is lazy (see report).
That's right along the lines of what I am saying. Its the lawless portion of the immigrants that needs to be regulated. if there is no regulation, then the lawlessness prevails. Obviously the majority want a better life and a chance to make something for their children. Immigration needs reform. Easier registration, fingerprinting and background checking at the border, and harsh enforcement of those who attempt to circumvent the checkpoints.
Here's my perspective for why people hate immigration. (not my opinion)
Here's what everyone sees as the problem. If theirs more people to take the ****** jobs then theirs more competition for the good jobs. People aren't upset about losing out on a job working on a farm or something, they're upset that someone they would have been competing for a good job who would of ended up with a bad job now doesn't have the option to have the bad job so competition is more fierce for the good ones.
With that said I hope I didn't have an anti immigrant tone, I'm a huge promoter of immigration, in Canada our population is declining so if we don't take in more immigrants we can't sustain economic development.
