44. A point I've tried to make many times.
If you're a contractor (not really you) and you have the choice between paying a citizen, working on a real Social Security card, even minimum wage plus his S.S matching, and workers comp and the other costs of employment OR an illegal alien that even if you pay him minimum, you can withhold his S.S. contribution and withhold his (or her) income tax and knowing he's not going to file ever for either, put that money back in your pocket. Minimum becomes about $4 an hour for you.
People here also deny that Mexico's biggest import from the US is dollars from those illegals working in this country.
They also ignore that the farmers in California are claiming they can't get enough migrant workers while estimates are there are between 10 and 11 million already here. So where are they?
