There are between 12 million and 20 million illegal aliens in the United States. They are neither law-abiding nor citizens - indeed, their very first act in coming here was to violate the laws of our land.
Would many companies go under if these illegal aliens were deported? Hardly. Eighteen million unemployed U.S. citizens could and would do the jobs illegal aliens are doing, if paid a living wage. Teenagers and college students would again be able to find entry-level manual labor jobs.
Were Americans to be hired instead of illegals, companies would simply increase the price of goods by a small percentage to make up the difference in their cost of doing business. Contrary to what open-borders advocates would have you believe, corporate interests and business owners benefit from employing illegals, not our economy and certainly not the average citizen. The money companies save in payroll taxes, workers compensation, unemployment compensation and health care costs goes to their bottom line; the profits they realize line their pockets, not the consumers.
Some may say illegals pay their share of taxes. The IRS reported that illegal aliens in the U.S. paid $300 million in taxes last year. California alone is looking to the federal government (the taxpayers) to reimburse it $2.5 billion for the costs of illegal aliens. Hospitals and clinics are going bankrupt and closing all along the Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California borders.
The bottom line is that illegal aliens are breaking our laws, depressing wages, are a drain on our economy and are destroying our infrastructure. One need only look at California to see the future in store for the rest of our country
