You DO realize that some illegals do pay taxes, right?
Also, as another poster said, quit blaming an entire race of people for taking something that is being GIVEN to them which is FAR better than anything else they have to BUST THEIR A** for in their own country and STILL barely make it-- BARELY, if at all.
Target the person who gave "Jose Illegal" (disgusting) his pay check in the first place KNOWING he is illegal.

I'm sorry, but this post is just complete and utter Bullcrap, knowing a few illegals I can tell you your all wrong about " Jose Illegal".
You see Jose illegal works in a field picking strawberries, he works 12 hours a day hunched over affraid to take bathroom breaks, because if his boss thinks he's slacking off Jose will be immediately replaced, with no unemployment, no union, no say so.
It's incredibly competitive and only the best pickers keep their jobs, .. Jose does not make $15.00 an hour, Jose gets paid for each box of strawberries he picks, which is around $5.00. and if he does get paid by the hour it is minimum wage.
Do you see illegals driving around in range rover's and bmw's like the OP would suggest ???
Do you see them living in a house near the size of yours ?? or anything other than a ratty apartment complex ??
So tell me Joe Legal, are you prepared to get down on your hands and knees and work 12 hour days for minimum wage ???
No, you wont. So stop complaining.

here we go again. i dont know why im gettin myself intothis:
check out this scenario.
I live in oxford mississippi, home of ole miss. There's bunch of rich folks w/ condos on the square etc that attend what is called "university club"
its a club for rich people where you pay every month so you can come and pay for overpriced fancy food and eat there and have parties. well, university club owner is so FING cheap(i know myself because he wanted me to install a microphone system for him but didnt wanna pay sh$)! 90% of people working there are illegal immigrants. they get paid cash. now, someone said they want to come here and live the "good life" These people come from poverty stricken country, bring their kids through the desert. do you think a mother would want to bring her child over desert risking their deaths if she had a choice? oh yea she has a choice. stay and work for $5 a day in mexico, or come here to oxford and work for university club owner for $5 an hour(or 7). now consider she's risking her babys life to get here. i think its clear that she has less survival rate if she stays in mexico then crossing the desert. so at the end, who's fault is it? you know its illegal to hire illegals right?

Here in MS illegals built a bridge across St Louis Bay and 3 Were killed. I personally helped pull the lifeless bodies out of the Bay. OSHA Fined the Company for the incident, but nothing was done about the hiring of Illegals. They made $21.50/hr

That scenario illustrates a big part of the problem with an open border and no enforcement of immigration laws.
You have to conclude it is by design, to impoverish us all.
Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and
gets paid $15.00 cash “under the table”.
Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps and
welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose
Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose
Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.
Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline,
and what he sends out of the country every month..
Joe Legal’s and Jose Illegal’s children both attend the same school. Joe
Legal pays for his children’s lunches while Jose Illegal’s children get
a government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegal’s children have an after school
ESL program. Joe Legal’s children go home.
Do you get it, now?

What if one of them without a Dirvers license or insurance gets in a wreck and kills one of your family members?
