    Probably been posted before but here goes.

    The numbers may not be exactly right but in general this is part of what's killing us as a nation.

    There are two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California.

    Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.

    Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".

    Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax;
    Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.

    Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.0 0 per year.Jose Illegal pays no taxes.
    Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.

    Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year.
    Joe Legal now has $24,031.00.

    Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year.
    Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

    Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year.
    Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.

    Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare.
    Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

    Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year.
    Joe Legal now has 9,631 .00.

    Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month Federal Rent Subsidy. Jose Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year.
    Jose Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.

    Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance.
    Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.

    Jose Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has $31,200.00.

    Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc..

    Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month.

    Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.

    Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

    Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same elementary school.

    Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches, while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored lunch.

    Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program, while Joe Legal's children go home.

    Now, when they reach college age, Joe Legal's kids may not get into a State School and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State Schools through his taxes, while Jose Illegal's kids "go to the head of the class" because they are a minority.

    Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.
    Do you get it, now?

    If you vote for, or support, any politician that supports illegal aliens YOU are part of the problem!

    We need to keep this going--we need to make changes ASAP!

    It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

    Illegals get $15 an hour?! Damn, news to me!

    I think there are several things wrong with this, but I agree with the main point you are trying to get across. Keep in mind that the reason to make a change has a hell of a lot more to do with the terrible things that could happen and are happening now, considering Joe Legal, then any problem that Jose Illegal can present. A lot of people are focused on this topic but I would beg for this "problem" compared to the things that are being done to shape our nation into something that is becoming so grim, that nobody will give a damn about Jose Illegal and his activities.

    Lets sat Jose makes $3 an hour. Tax free with all the benefits free. Joe can't work at $15 and pay for benefits. Benefits in part paid by the employer. Required by the Fed government.

    You have to have a tax system that doesn't drown the native person from being able to compete with the foreign person. And you have to allow employers to run their business free of government regulation.

    Our system is so over regulated by the gov, a native worker doesn't have a chance(outside special ability) to compete with a foreign worker free of the regulations. With the ability to use programs designed to help native workers in time of need.


    The system we have is more socialist then democratic. Thats the problem.

    Mexico just didnt appear overnight. The more regulations go on the books....the more mexicans will come over here to unfairly compete.
