Don't fear the 'meegra

OK, so....would the increase in products be counteracted by the decrease in goverment spending taking care of illegal immigrants?

I've mentioned this before, but they aren't just taking the jobs Americans don't want. Here in GA where new contruction of homes is HUGE, many mulitgenerational construction companies are having to close because they can't compete with the companies paying illegals to do the same work at below legal minimum wage. Many of the construction companies that are going out of business hire legal Mexican immigrants and pay them a fair wage. So, the illegal Mexicans are even taking jobs away from the Legal Mexicans. Fair?

There was a guy on GFY talking about his illegal immigrant cousin who went to school, college, and medical school all on the US's dime and is now becoming a doctor. Is a doctor one of those jobs Americans don't want to do?

There was a story in last weeks ATL paper about a legal immigrant making $850 a month so he legally qualified for government assistance in the way of food stamps, welfare checks, WIC, etc. Problem is that his boss had 9 other illegals using the guy's SS# so on paper he was making $8500 a month and therefore didn't qualify for any assistance. Is THAT fair?

If I had to pay an extra $4 for a pound of apples and not have to pay more in Medicaid taxes to take care of the illegals, I'd be willing to do that.

Personally I think you hit the employers and hit them hard.

There are lots of guys on GFY who talk lots of things. GFY is the most credible source of information I ever run into.
