Illegals are Cheap Labor?

This is from Charging Elephant:

If it’s cheap labor, why does it cost America so much?

According to Chad Christensen, (R) Nevada Candidate for the US Senate, Nevada spends 700 billion dollars to house, feed, educate, and provide health care for illegal immigrants every year.



During the last Special Session of the legislature he had to work hard to deal with a nearly 900 million dollar deficit in Nevada. Had Democrats supported either of the bills in 2007 and 2009 Nevada’s problem would have been solved.







That is just an example of one state, let alone others states that pay even more to accommodate the illegals in their states. And the Democrats and those illegals and Hispanics that support them expect America to continue to foot the bill until all of us in every state is just as broke and taken over as California is.





You listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration. There are some things that we all should be aware.



Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, to name a few where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.



Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and lunch programs. And that isn’t just milk and a donut, it is a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make the Hilton proud. The wasting of this food by these illegals is monumental. Trays and trays of this food are being dumped in the trash uneaten. These schools also provide daycare centers for unwed teenage girls, some as young as 13 so that they can attend classes without having to find their own childcare or rely on family to watch their children.



Teachers are ordered to spend amounts of up to 700,000 or more on their departments even if they don’t need to because their budget is more that ample for their needs, for fear of losing Federal funding. They buy things like brand new computers for their computer classes just so these illegal students would have nice equipment. But half of which a month later were carved up and defaced with graffiti by these grateful students who obviously feel so humbled to have free education in America.



There are several instances where teachers have to intervene for other teachers and temps who’s classes consist of many illegal immigrant students who raise so much hell and call them ”Putas” (whores) and trash their rooms bringing these teachers to tears.



Free medical, free education, free food, free day care…it’s a wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to also demand rights and entitlements? To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society, need to spend time in the real world and see the true costs.



Higher insurance, higher medical costs, new diseases, more crime, lower standards in our schools, overcrowding….America! We need to wake up!



This is causing a third world American culture that doesn’t value education, accepts children to get pregnant and drop out of school by the age of 15, refuses to assimilate, and causes American culture to become weak and so worried about political correctness that we don’t have the will to do anything about it.



There are those who will tell you that it is all about cheap labor, that we accommodate illegals because they do the jobs Americans won’t. Cheap labor…isn’t that what the whole immigration thing is all about? Businesses don’t want to pay a decent wage, consumers don’t want expensive produce. The bottom line is cheap labor…..well, there is no such thing as cheap labor. Cheap labor is a myth, a farce and a lie!



Take for example an illegal alien who has a wife and 6 kids. He takes a job for 5.00 or 6.00 dollars an hour. At that wage he pays no income tax but with 6 kids he files an income tax return and gets an income tax credit up to 3,200 for his 6 kids. He qualifies for section 8 housing and subsidized rent, and food stamps. He qualifies for free health care, relief from high energy bills, SSI if they become blind, aged, or disabled and medicaid, all at tax payers expense. He doesn’t worry about car, life, health, or homeowner insurance. Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, and printed material. He receives an equivalent of 20 to 30 dollars an hour in benefits while American workers are lucky to get 5.00 to 6.00 dollars an hour after paying their bills and his.



CHEAP LABOR? YEAH RIGHT!



These are all points we should be addressing our congressional members on both sides of the isle. AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON’T DO WHAT WE SAY TO STOP THE BANKRUPTCY OF OUR NATION THROUGH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, WE FIRE THEM AND REPLACE THEM WITH THOSE WHO WILL!
