I could only imagine how much produce would cost if we had to pay citizens minimum wage to harvest it.
Huh. $7.25/hour X 80 hrs/wk x 52 wks/ year = $30,160. :stirthepot:Did you know that the average wait for a green card is 5 years? I might border jump too. In 5 years at $30000 a year they would be missing out on $150000.
I don't disagree with any of that. I just wish that they would make it more difficult for them to abuse our social safety net. I also wish that our tax dollars would stop being spent on incarcerating them. If you are here illegally and commit a crime you ought to get a bullet in the back of the head regardless of how serious the crime is. Deportation doesn't work because they just come right back. Some people have suggested that deportation plus a lifetime ban on any path to citizenship is a good solution. If they didn't mind being here illegally in the first place, do you really think they are going to mind coming back illegally?Really?
Quote from article,
"They pay their taxes, they learn the language, they learn the rules of the country and they have some way of legitimately working in this country."
He needs to get out more.
Ok, so your not going to get rid of 12m. Start making it tougher for the ones that don't get there green cards and for the ones that do, don't pussy foot around when their cards expire giver harsh penalties. Other countries do it why can't we.
