economically productive from who's perspective? from society's, it is better socially to hire legal joe. from the employer's, the illegal is better.

legal joe payroll = $52,000 + 10% employer payroll taxes = $57,200
illegal jose = $31,200

people almost never do what's in the best interest for their country, unless it directly affects them. look at our dependence on foreign oil. so your example is not feasible. why should i go by the book and put myself and the sustainability of my company in jeopardy to help society if my competition does not do the same. even members of cartels cheat. it's everyone for themselves.

I did not have to read the post to know this has already been going on.

Common sense to me.

Ask any day laborer in Northern Virginia, and they will tell you they EXPECT 20 bucks an hour PLUS food and beverages if they are expected to work "all day".

This is retarded and I am so tired of hearing it. If you say you are against something that (a large number of) liberals agree with, they simply try and discredit you by saying that you are buying into "ultra conservative nonsense". A lot of what obama is pushing for will FURTHER the problem highlighted above.

For example, the healthcare legislation obama is sooooo heavily pushing for, which would, idealy, include a public option, would be fully available to illegal immigrants. Joe Wilson was absolutely correct when he shouted "YOU LIE" at obama... want an explanation: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...763&highlight=

Furthermore, there is a lot of talk that "the next big thing" Obama will push for is providing amnesty to those illegals currently in the US. If done, that would provide all of the above AND MORE. But, that is hearsay so I won't claim that to be a reality just yet.

Ridiculous. Here's another liberal mantra... if you disagree with the content, bash the source. Oh, Rush or Dick Morris said it, it must be false and full of lies... come on.

They certainly do. They drive on public roads, have their kids enrolled in public schools (which is approximated at costing AMERICANS 6 billion a year in tax dollars), they use hospitals, police, etc... how can anyone argue otherwise is beyond me.


Sure the numbers might be slightly off here and there but the basic principles are absolutely on point. Illegals in this country are NOT contributing to the tax system and are a LARGE BURDEN on it. If amnesty were passed, that burden would just grow exponentially.

Please point to something with which you disagree with. Please identify a major flaw in the thought behind the email. Please elaborate on your "people that blindly buy into this are suckers"... If you ask me, those who blindly DISAGREE with something so easily are just as moronic as those who buy fully into something with understanding it.

And, as for the "it makes sense for a business to hire the illegal", that is true... but largely because of softy policies which allow for such. It's very simple.. impose a HUGE financial penalty if you are caught employing illegals. There, it's done.. simple as that companies will rather pay the premium per employee than risk a massive financial loss. We need to look out for the country and our legal citizen's futures. We need to stop siding with small groups and allowing for heartfelt policies. Politics should be conducted with the brain, not your heart.. sorry but it's 100% true.

+1

I dont think the problem here is with the employer, but the gov't redistribution of income.

I'll offer one: Many here that are working illegally have stolen SS#s and, therefore, are paying into the system.

We've heard it a million times over: If we really wanted to change the way things are going now with respect to employing illegals, we have to go after those that employ them.
