I don't understand what you're saying. Swapping illegal immigrants for major Businesses? Sorry I'm not following you.

Like i said in previous threads, swapping illegal workers for major businesses, GREAT idea. Thanks Bill.

WHAT?

Welcome to the club.

Yes, cheaper labor equals a cheaper product usually, or a higher profit margin for producers. I would be curious as to what would happen to food production if every illegal immigrant was deported.

Sorry Pillbilly:: But will hiring illegal immigrants lower the price of an APPLE you purchase just because labor cost were lower for one owning orchard? Simple as i can make it.

Sorry, I don't understand your question.

Sure hillbilly. But does that cheap labor cost maintaining or working in so said agricultural products lower the price of such desired fruit or vegetable, or anything of that nature to you? If any thing, it will only cause the price to raise too fatten wallets of owners.

Y'all do realize that our entire agricultural economy is based on the exploitation of illegal immigrants. Doing work in conditions that legal citizens will not work in.

WHAT?

I guess they're legal with a green card? But when you stand and watch one single individual with a stack of green cards with 8-10 looking at them to see whom they wanna be for $20 a pop, i'm assured they're legal. As of how cards were obtained i have no idea. I've seen it happen several times but not in recent years. As far as kids, sure they would have 3 at a time if they could at each pregnancy. Not sure but i think gov. passed a law that 2 or 3 could only be claimed. Someone will find out i'm sure. But also with a family of 5-6 that's where all the benefits kick in. Where does that put the economy?

Marie, if they have a green card then they're legal. We're just talking about illegal immigrants here.

I don't know how it works with a green card, but I assume that since they're legal they get to claim dependents and all that, just like an American would. You said before that you don't get to claim anything, so if they pay less then they probably have kids.

That's no different than if a normal American was able to make the same claim, though.

Most don't understand. Illegals or legal got their green card for public work or what ever. But that card only last for a certain amount of time. They go back home for any specified reason, family sickness is the most common & return back to same employment they had before. It's usually 5-6 weeks & return with different name to go with it. Even though they don't have that many days earned to be from job, they still get it, nothing said. As far as taxes, only a small fraction comes out of their earnings. Maybe $1.90 federal & less from state if any. I've seen too many checks & stubs that most wouldn't even bother to count. They clear more than i for 48hrs.to their 40, with me making 1.85 more per hour. Fair enough? SURE.

We don't take care of our own, why should we be concerned about illegals? Only because illegals are profitable for the wealthy. Let 10,000 legal American go and hire 10,000 illegals and the wealthy can buy themselves a new jet.

Reporting them will help somewhat, but making them legal would make better sense, They would become taxpayers and help pay some of this debt we owe, Only if our idiot politicians don't find something stupid to spend the extra revenue on such as another war or another welfare program.

They actually do pay taxes, cardinal, to the tune of about $11 billion a year. The difference is that right now they don't qualify for tax refunds at the end of the year, but if we make them legal then they do.

Financially speaking, it's better for us if they stay illegal and we just look the other way.

Isn't that a common tactic, though, Spring? We regularly review laws that may not be beneficial, then overturn them as necessary.

Take marijuana, for example. There's a big push to make it legal, mainly because doing so would cut down the crime rate, it would help the economy, and because there's no good reason for it to be illegal.

The same applies here. There's no particular reason why immigration is illegal, and changing the law on it would free up billions, if not trillions of dollars in resources.

Do you think it is a good idea to fight crime by removing laws? If we do away with all laws we would have no crime. Someone steals your TV, no problem there is no law. Someone rapes your child, no problem there is no laws. Yea, you have a **** good idea there.

11 billion isn't even a drop of water ina bucket compared to the 19+ trillion were in debt. Somebody will fill them jobs,they always have. But..... not for no $7.50 per hour. These big corperations are gonna have to weather some of the brunt of the storm, so to say.

I think it's very relevant. You want to enforce a law, which is great, but you have no idea how to handle the problems that will come afterward. Come up with a way to fill those 16 million jobs and to increase the tax revenue by $11 billion, and maybe you'll convince me. But so far you don't have a plan, just a racist rant.

What does this have to do with racism? I don't care who you are, if you are here illegally, get the hello out!

crack and meth brings millions to Wilkes each month. Does that mean we should over the law that makes crack and meth illegal?
