150. You obviously don't live where illegals work in construction
Down here near the border, an illegal can earn just as much as any other person in the construction business. And the employer pays NOTHING in taxes for said person. They may show on a payroll stub that they are taking taxes out of their pay, but it is never paid. If they are an illegal, that person is never on 'payroll' so NO money goes toward taxes, social security, etc. They may not get the health benefits, but they earn just as much as any American in the industry. The pay, tho, is the same if they are legal or illegal.

Again, show me the links.
