No, they don't. Assuming they are not paid in cash, an illegal family of
four would have to make more than $25,000.00 per year before they paid the
first dime in income taxes. Before that, they would be entitled to an
earned income tax CREDIT, which other taxpayer pay to them for working.
Meanwhile, we are paying $20,000 per year to educate their two children, and
possibly another $5,000 to deliver their next one. If they are injured on
the job, we are paying disability benefits. If they require medical
treatment, we are paying that as well.

Sales taxes, you say? Direct transfers back to Mexico is the second largest
source of money for the Mexican economy, right after oil, and before
tourism. So tell me, at 5% of what's left over, how much of their earnings
is going to our economy?

The popularity of illegal aliens is blindingly simple: if I am an employer,
and I have to pay a citizen $12 per hour to do a job, and I can get an
illegal to do the same thing for $9, and there are no adverse consequences
to picking the illegal, which one will I choose?

Our immigration disaster is the result of a very ugly confluence of liberal
democratic politics with right wing immoral business interests. It is
certainly a more profound threat to our nation than terrorism.


Just for the record you do realize that MANY illegals pay taxes in the US
don't you. I don't think anyone would say they don't work hard. If they
didn't they wouldn't be in such demand.
