How do you feel about immigrants working in the US?

Question

Without illegals working in the US how do you think America would survive at the pace it is going with homes being built and the profit it is making for our economy?

Answer 1

You caress your imagination with the wonderful feeling of belonging a country which will pay and adore your warm and able desires of power and control. Inmigrants as you call them are smarter and hardworking than you. Some fags will not stand the battle but show the dead in the good search of others alike. Do respect little one, for nobody does cover you if anyone like me decide to kill or mesmerize your fortitude. Be respectful of some who work harder than you, that is law, and you are being truly illegal, aspunk.

Answer 2

We don`t have a illegal worker problem we have a illegal employer problem. If employers fear jail then illegal workers will have not reason to come here. The richest will have to take the hit this time with their profits not the majority of the American people. Remember if your labor rises 7% our products rise 2%, they can`t get away with much more then that. It is time to turn these billionaires into millionaires again and cut the gap between the rich and poor like it was in the 50s 60s and 70s

Answer 3

The United States is a nation built on by immigration. There are 1000's of immigrants working in the US, legally. Though the 2nd part of your question you are really talking about illegals. That's where you are wrong.

I saw where someone ahead of me wrote that illegals where making less than minimum wage. That is simply untrue. l know a painting contractor in Raleigh NC who recently just got busted from the IRS & the Feds for employing illegal immigrants. He paid them EACH $15 an hour cash for over 7 years. They never had to pay state or federal taxes, or social security/FICA or Medicare. When they got paid that $15 an hour, they kept 100% of the money. Pennies where spent in the US. 20 guys lived in a tiny apartment. This ban of illegals stole food & clothes from US markets to save money. The majority of the money was sent home to their families in Mexico, and 0% revenue was made to keep this country's ecomomy going. Because the dollar can buy so much more in Mexico, the familes of these illegals lived in beautiful giant homes, and where concidered wealthy among their peers. Much nicer homes that most of the average US family can afford.

No street repair, no SS benefits, no medicaid, no VA benefits, no school books...NOTHING was made from the hundreds of thousands of dollars these illegals made. The US can hardly afford to buy school books for our own country these days. Our teachers are paid nothing, but you think it's okay to send all of our tax revenue to Mexico so thay can live the American Dream? That is such BS. The legal American can hardly live the dream, and our taxes have to keep going up, up, up so others can live our dream tax free. Give me a break!

Answer 4

Illegal means one thing. It is against the law. Why do so many people have trouble understand that simple word. If someone is here illegally they are breaking the law. Breaking the law means they are a criminal as well as a threat to national security. Additionally, not only do they break our immigration laws, they use fake and/or stolen Ids, pose a major health risk, among many other things. These people have no respect for our people or our laws. They are not wanted here and because they are so willing to break one law after the other are not WORTHY to be here either. Here this may help you understand the word ILLEGAL-

According to the dictionary:

il·le·gal

adj.

1. Prohibited by law.
2. Prohibited by official rules: an illegal pass in football.
3. Unacceptable to or not performable by a computer: an illegal operation.

n.

An illegal immigrant

Main Entry: il·le·gal
Pronunciation: il-'lE-g&l
Function: adjective
: contrary to or in violation of a law

Answer 5

Immigrants are legal citizens. They can work legally in the US.

What you are calling "illegals", a bigot's term, do not have the impact that you think.

Undocumented workers make up less than 10 percent of the 43 million low-wage workers in the United States.

Your claim also ignores the fact that immigrants, both documented and undocumented, are helping take the lead in one of the most important things that can actually raise wages for all low-wage workers--building a stronger union movement.

Answer 6

America would survive just fine without people breaking the law and coming into the country illegally to work.

Answer 7

Weird logic ... so America's economic future depends on 12 million illegals?? The U.S. wouldn't survive without 12 million illegals??? So you think all the other people in this country, the citizens and legal immigrants, sit on their bottoms and do nothing?? And the profit it's making for OUR COUNTRY? I do not think ... illegals tend to repatriate their ill gotten money ... big corporations and people hiring illegals are making the money ... do you see any of it coming back into your pockets? Didn't think so ....

Answer 8

Why do they have to be illegals? Why can't they go through due process like the legals and become citizens? Why do you think they shouldn't have to pay taxes? The only people who hire illegals are the crooked farmers/contractors who are avoiding paying FICA & Medicare taxes that they are required to pay on their employees. Why can't some of the dead beat welfare recipients who are also raking over the tax payers money do the job of the illegals? If we continue to let them in and take over our economic development, you my friend will NEVER see a dime of your hard earned Social Security, or Medicare benefits. Unless you are saving and investing at the age of 21 for retirement, you will die pennyless. THATS WHY. Catch a clue.

Answer 9

I'm not an economics major so I'm not completely sure how illegal immigrants affect the economy, but from what I know they provide a big boost. One downside, of course, is that they don't pay taxes, because the state doesn't know they're here.

Answer 10

The US needs immigrants in the country. Without them, the whole of the US economy would collapse. Certain industries like cargo and others in the US usually, but not all, rely heavily on cheap, manual labor.
Also, immigrants can bring the best of their culture to the US, like.. tacos!

Answer 11

i have no problem with them working here. As for having them pay taxes, that's a little unfair. They get paid less than half of the minimum wage. if they got taxed, they'd walk home wiith less than a dollar an hour. they know they run the risk of getting hurt on the job and will never receive compensation if they are disabled. they know this when they cross that border they will never receive medical, dental and vision insurance. and to start charging them taxes along with all that is insane!
