Nah, I read the post, and thought over, you have my word. I do not disagree with people online without reading about their position carefully. Nor did I assume you did not agree with legal immigration. Watch it, you seem to be touchy about being regarded as a xenophobe IMHO...


But anyway, you have a point on taxes, but the illegal immigrants do have to contribute to Social Security, which they get none of. But then those medical bills of course, that you mentioned... So it evens it out. That said, to say that "they take our jobs" is not accurate, and I bet a dollar for doughnut you had that in mind in your previous post. As for "shady employers" that is capitalism. Works better than anything else so far, but still with its flaws. Those blokes want higher margins, and so would you and me if we were in their position.

Although I would hardly call it a flaw. Those immigrants work for dimes and nickels, enabling the employers to lower their prices to undercut competition, to which the competition responds in like, creating much lower consumer prices. Not so bad, eh?
