Why can illegal immigrants work for less? What are all the reasons? Do illegal immigrants retire/stay here?

Question

What could you put up with for one year, five years, 10 years, to make more money than you and anyone you ever knew ever made?

Answer 1

Because they scrouge twenty people to a house, so they can LIVE cheaper!!! Then,they send all the money they make HERE,back to MEXICO,that is why Fox wants them over here!!!! So,Why should they go, when they can SPONGE off the taxpayers??!!!!! Most illegals are paid CASH,so they pay NO taxes. If THEY get sick or hurt,they just run their sorry asses to the nearest e.r.,where, BY FEDERAL LAW, the hospitals,doctors,all emergency medical personnel,etc.,are forced to treat them!! This law,was intended to help AMERICAN citizens that have an emergency,and doesn't have insurance,but the illegals take ADVANTAGE of this law,because they know they HAVE TO, be given treatment,whether they can pay,or NOT!
And,i have NEVER heard of one instance where the illegals actually PAY these hospital costs!!!!!!!!!! So,naturally THEIR bills,get PASSED ON to us!!!!!! Look-up the Copper Queen hospital article on-line!!! It's an eyeopener!!!!

Answer 2

They work for less because they are illegal and when getting jobs, companies know that they will pay them less, even if they are not skilled at the job that they are doing because they will not turn them in.

This in turn means that a skilled person that knows the job either will not get a job because such is going on - or they will find that their pay rate is dropping as well as any benefits they used to have.

Pay rates start to drop. Benefits that once were the standard are no longer. Claims about the cost of running business are made - but notice that pay increases continue for CEO's.

At the rate that we are going now, there will be no middle class within this country in another 20 years and many of us are going to be finding out just what we will be willing to put up not just for 1, 5, or 10 years - but the rest of our life because of the assault that unhindered illegal immigration is bringing upon the United States.

Answer 3

I believe illegals on the whole do not work for less. This is the propaganda which keeps most ignorant. There are those who work in industries that pay minimum wages. There new to the country, where are they suppose to look for jobs? Just like the teenager that takes any job until they build up skills and network to find 'better" opportunities they will eventually seek better paying employment. Illegals who use illegal documentation get perfect credit ratings instantly and live off borrowed money. those who learn how to manage this unique advantage often stay in America. Those who are here to take advantage often leave when the chips fall.

Answer 4

Illegal immigrants work for less because simply they will do any job that they are able to do. A lot of companies hiring them dont ask for any ID or anything. Illegals will settle for less. If you know that illegals win less than the average American even lower than minimum wage, what makes you think that their unpaid taxes will amount so greatly that it will spark a huge debate? You think the money they owe puts them off in a better financial place than you? Anyway, some illegals do pay taxes that they never get credit for. Illegals dont want to cause trouble, they just want to better themselves just like you and me. As i once read, i remember when illegals came to Ellis island from different places and now their posterity has made America a better place.

Answer 5

First off I am American and proud of IT! It makes me just sick to know they come here to work like slaves for less, in the mean time they think they are doing better than us. HUH>. NOT!! We did just fine b4 the mexicans came. With or Without them we will still be a strong nation. Don't let them take control then they think they won. They are using us for their own benefits. And yes, they bring more family members over little by little, and 3/4 of them are here Illegally I'll bet ya..We in turn have to pay for their taxes and etc. Its very unfair to the Americans. If our people are hungry and need a helping hand, they will help an immigrant b4 they help their own kind. That pisses me off totally!!!!!!!! ITS WRONG.. Why can't we make them stay in their own Country?? I will never understand American Laws!!!!! We are also losing our Constitutional Rights little by litte, and it just URKS ME.. I have no faith in the House of Representatives. We need to get Bush out and bring in Democratic candidate. They seem to get things done the right way.. God Bless us All...

Answer 6

what makes this country great? Let's see
When another country strugle for money, we THE US pushes that goverment to get loans from the IMF, to supossed help that country, to paid for their obligations.
But guess what?, the fine print said, the mininum wages in that country has to stay in the same level, for as long the loan is open, but.... products and services keep rising, so the people can't buy food, or paid their rent or survive in one. word.
Another classic example is, Nafta, since signed in 1994, more than 10 millions farmers, been force to abandone their fields and migrate to US, to paid for the loans they got, from the banks to make their land produce, but what happen... Nafta stipulate that Mexico have to buy, corn, beans, wheat, pork, so many tons a year, but Mexico does not need those products, so when the maxicans farmers harverst their product, the price is lower that the cost, why because Mexico had to import product that doesn't need. And because US damp product into the mexican market which it makes the mexican product, worth 0.00.
So the farmers came to the US. and take any job, to pay for the loans and to support the family left behind.
So they work for under minimum wages. but at the same time
that wages, make the american companies strongers, because they get to keep most of the suplus of the product that the under-wager produce. Making in the long run this country stronger.
Maybe 50 % of the latino workers save money and they retire to their home land. Only the families of people that got into the amnesty of the 1986, get to stay. The great mayority return.
There is a lot controversy about, the services they used, reality is that they paid for it, paying taxes or not.
Since the moment that they get paid for any X job, the company that hire them, in turn paid taxes, also when they buy products and services, they are paying taxes, every state have state taxes,
so just for the simple reason of eating, they are paying for services that are provide for the state, which is education, health,
and prision time as well.
So do they paid taxes, hell they do.

Answer 7

They come here for money and some live in houses with about ten more people so they can afford the rent, and some live in encampments in canyons, until the police break them up. They just want to live here and bring their families, and they don't want to bother doing anything legally, they want to drive without a license and they don't want to buy auto ins, they want free health care, and they want everybody to shut up and let them do what they want, then the Mexican activists get them organized to protest our laws, they did not want the bill to pass that would have made them felons being here illegally, that is the same law Mexico has for their immigrants. Then they demand to be given citizenship. And once they get here they never leave, and they don't care about being a citizen unless it is handed to them on a silver platter. they don't want to go through the process of getting their citizenship legally. I think some do pay taxes because one illegal claimed his eight children on his tax return. they still live in Mexico and are not citizens, he must have lied because he got back 8 thousand dollars from the government, they are ripping us off right and left. I heard that on a talk radio show, I couldn't believe my ears, how he managed that.

Answer 8

Because illegal workers fly under the radar of labor laws, don't file the paperwork, so are therefore not entitling themselves to fair wages.

I'm spoiled. I've worked hard, educated myself, and put up with a lot over the years to attain a status I enjoy ( not wealthy, just well-adjusted ). I'd have a very hard time living in crowded, sub-standard conditions while working a 70-hour week. It's just not in me right now, but if it came down to bare survival I'd do it to keep my family fed and sheltered.

Answer 9

b/c they are Illegals they work for less.They are desperate to make $$ for their families. They cannot go to work and be on the "books." they have to get pd. on the side. No SS#.
I live in AZ and am right in the middle of this right now here with our border to Mexico.I know MANY illegals that are very nice people. Very committed to their families,hard working and driven. Of course they want to come here to have the freedom that we do and a chance at a good life for them and their families. It is very unfortunate though that they have not gotten here the proper way though. It has been out of control for so long now, i don't know how it will truly be eradicated. I can sympathise, but they have to do it the right way.

Answer 10

Most of your illegal immigrants will work for less, because even 6.00 an hour is better than what most of them make in their own countries. As far as I know, most do retire here, and some send most of their earnings back home.
