Are Illegal Aliens really cheaper labor?
I work outdoors as a ranch and farm manager and inevitably I run into people hiring illegal aliens. To salve their consciences, those who hire, aid and abet illegal aliens like to call them “migrant workers” or “day laborers”. Politicians refer to them as “immigrants” which is a bold faced lie, immigrants are those who are attempting to legally migrate here, not border jumping criminals.
I am given a multitude of reasons from those who hire, aid and abet illegal aliens here in America, usually it comes down to cost. Illegal aliens appear to be willing to work for less money than legal workers but appearances can be deceiving. Allow me to explain.
Illegal aliens whose very first act upon our shores is of course to break the law, pay no income taxes whatsoever. One would assume that an individual here illegally, and not paying income taxes, would not avail themselves of public services such as welfare, food stamps, WIC (Women Infants and Children) and a host of other freebies, but that would assume that our government actually wanted to do something to curtail illegal aliens, simply put, they don’t for a variety of reasons, mostly because our politicians are almost as cowardly as they are corrupt.
In short, illegal aliens can afford to work cheaper because, unlike the rest of us who must pay taxes or else suffer the wrath and fury of the government, illegal get a free ride. Illegal are not only encouraged to break the law by entering our nation clandestinely, they are never pursued regarding paying their income taxes. Imagine how much cheaper you could bill your services if you had to pay no income taxes whatsoever.
Illegal aliens can afford to work cheaper because they receive public assistance in the form of food stamps, WIC and other taxpayer funded hand-outs. Since their wages are obtained secretly, they can easily claim they qualify for food stamps and other public assistance. The same criminal element that sells them obtain false drivers licenses and identification also sells them other “documentation” to help them fraudulently apply for public assistance. Imagine how much cheaper you could bill your services for if you had somebody else buying you and your families groceries and other necessities.
Illegal aliens get free public health care by the same methods used to obtain food stamps, after all, what’s one more set of lies to someone whose very presence in our country is a flagrant disregard for our laws? If I am injured, I can not go to the Emergency Room without insurance but illegal aliens claim indigent status and breeze right in. Imagine how much cheaper you could work if you didn’t have to pay for health insurance.
Illegal often don’t carry automobile insurance, after all, it’s hard to get a drivers license if you are here illegally, therefore you can’t get an automobile insurance policy. No problem though, the same scum who sell illegal fake drivers licenses also sell fake insurance policy. When you get into an accident with an illegal, if it is serious enough to warrant the police showing up, the illegal will abandon his car (which usually has a fake inspection sticker, sold by the same scum that sell other fake documents) and disappear. I had a friend whose brand new car was destroyed by a drunken illegal (who hit about four other cars as well) and stood in amazement as the illegal took off running. The police told him that this happens all the time with some illegal. That car belching the blue smoke as you drive down the freeway is more often than not being driven by an illegal alien.
When you add it up, you see that illegal aliens are actually making out like bandits or should I say banditos! No wonder they can work for less than their American counterparts, by their willingness to break the law, manipulate the system and live a life of deceit and dishonesty, they are not only displacing American workers, they are making a pretty good living in the process. We poor “stupid” American workers who can’t avoid paying taxes, don’t qualify for free public assistance (or have too much self respect to steal from others in this way), are having food stolen right off our tables by a government supported and sponsored invasion of “cheap” labor.
I often hear from tough talking blowhards the same sniveling lies “Illegal are willing to work harder than Americans and do the work Americans aren’t willing to” That’s a lie. Illegal don’t work harder, they just work cheaper but in reality they are nothing more than subsidized labor. They are subsidized, not by the government, but by the American taxpayer. The individuals who hire illegal aliens are in essence thieves who require everyone else to sponsor and pay for their subsidized labor.
Think about who is paying for all these benefits that allow illegal aliens to work cheaper than their American counterparts. The American taxpayer is in essence paying for this entire criminal enterprise. To put it more directly, we are all paying for these illegal to beat our fellow countrymen out of their jobs.
There is another cost to illegal aliens as well. When illegal aliens come here, they know the system. Generations of their relatives and friends have been stealing from America for decades now and they have things figured down to an exact science. Corporate lawyers and welfare queens fade by comparison to the manipulation that illegal apply to the American taxpayer funded “system” of hand-outs.
Some illegal just come here to make a fast buck and then head back to Mexico with a pocket full of cash, returning to America when the money is gone. Some of these become troublemakers, getting drunk and breaking even more laws. Some engage in criminal activities and, if they are caught, they are usually deported, only to return again.
Many illegal come here with their pregnant girlfriend or wife knowing that as soon as she delivers a child, the child will be an American citizen entitled to even more cradle to grave social programs. The child's status as an American citizen then helps the family to get their legal status quicker, circumventing and slowing down the waiting list that the decent and law abiding, legal immigrants are on. You didn’t expect somebody who was here illegally to have respect or consideration of others did you? Many legal, productive migrants have been waiting for years for citizenship but the flood of illegal across our borders have repeatedly pushed them back further and further with no end in sight.
With the illegal aliens child as an American citizen, the illegal are truly set to rape the American taxpayer and that is precisely what they do. The entire pregnancy and birth are paid for by the taxpaying American citizen and the entire family qualifies for additional public assistance. Meanwhile, the parents are making money without paying taxes and taking in the benefits mentioned before.
Because of the total arrogance of the illegal community and their desire to twist America into the third world hellhole they just escaped from, they rarely if ever teach their children to speak English which is the language of the country they are living like parasites off of. Look at the Aztlan movement and you will see that there is a large and growing movement of criminal minded illegal aliens who hate America and believe that the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas belong to and should be returned to Mexico. Their non-English speaking child will be sent to public school where they will require a bi-lingual teacher, all paid for by the benevolent American taxpayer.
Illegal aliens don’t register for the draft, in fact, they don’t contribute at all to our nation but are parasites and opportunists that hide behind the false banner of being “poor”. I am amazed that the same people who are outraged at welfare cheats have sympathy for these criminal miscreants.
The next time someone you know hires an illegal alien, remember that they are stealing from you, causing your insurance to go up, your taxes to go up and our unemployment to rise. Remember also that the illegal they hire has no respect for our laws and no desire to assimilate into our country. The illegal alien is a parasite and it is time we stopped being a host to them.
