Guests or gate crashers
Mar 28, 2006
by Thomas Sowell


How often have we heard that illegal immigrants "take jobs that
Americans will not do"? What is missing in this argument is what is
crucial in any economic argument: price. Americans will not take many
jobs at their current pay levels -- and those pay levels will not rise
so long as poverty-stricken immigrants are willing to take those jobs.

I am tired of that arguement that Americans wont take those jobs:
Illegal alien makes about $10+ and hour with many benefits:
Free access to the best health care in the world.
Often pay no income taxes.
Free food.
Free programs for new borns.
Free education for all the kids.
Many other freebies.
I work as a temporary for the state. I make alittle over $10 per hour.
I get NO benefits
State deducts taxes out of my check.
I pay my own health insurance, car insurance etc.
I pay for education expenses.
I pay for food etc.
IE. I would currently be better off as an illegal alien.
In times passed, the few illegals I knew of worked here temporarily and then
went home. They now come to stay and bring wife, kids, auntie, grandma etc.
who are not working but reaping all the freebie benefits and having babies
for free.
