Are the illegals contributing any thing to the society ?

Question

They get less paid thats why the prices of too many product is so cheap especially food stuff they fullfill the labour requirement in every profession by working extra hours and not getting any extra money for that.

P.S Please don't talk about the things they do bad or they are breaching the laws or any thing like that cause I want to know why the Government/Authorities never do a serious crack down against them. They know where they live and where they work but still there are hundreds of thousand of illegals living in every developed country.

Just to add some more details the reason why the illegals don't pay the tax is that they can't, they are not even allowed to work.
Just think of a situation if illegals are still living wrongly in a country but they are paying the tax whatever less or more( how just leave for an instant).Would the situation be still same?

Answer 1

Of course they do contribute,they work for less because they work under the table so they provide a lower cost of labor thus enabling the producer to sell at virtually the same price he would have before while making more money for himself.

By working under the table they enable both themselves and their employer to avoid taxes that should have been paid,income, social security,workmans comp,etc thus again enabling a larger profit margin for product producers,while simultaniously helping to contribute to the budget deficit.

They use social services they aren't entitled to through fraud thus saving themselves money they would have had to spend on housing,food,medical care,etc thus enabling them to contribute to the degridation of our schools,the bankrupting of local govts and again helping contribute to public debt,which they are nice enough to allow us to pay.

They help contribute to society through the rampant crime in their communities thus helping keep our courts busy,our jails full and ensuring growth and job stability in the law enforcement community,and I guess that allows them to again contribute to govt debt allowing us to pay higher taxes for everything in order to make sure that these needs are met.

I'm sure you get the point,the myth of cheap labor is just that,a myth. If you really believe that cheap labor means cheaper products then I want an explanation of why I'm paying 60-100 dollars or more for shoes made by people in foreign lands who make 20 dollars a week and get no health care,no disability,etc. It's a crock,the only thing cheap labor does is allow you to pay just the tiniest bit less in order to make it look good while the producer doubles or even triples his profit margin,meanwhile the cost to our society in lost jobs is triple or more what you save. You truly would be better off paying what would amount to no more than 10% more for American products,because the jobs created in the US would more than make up for that cost in other areas,such as your taxes. And bringing cheap untaxed labor into your own country is a total disaster,might as well cut your own throat just to see what it feels like.

Answer 2

The fact of being in irregular immigration status has little to do with "contributing to society".

In fact, anybody with lots of money can bypass the immigration rules. From Mexico with a TN, an L or another treaty visa.

You have to look at each case individually and make your own judgment. What of all those of doubtful status married to citizens?

And what of the illegal Irish and Poles and other non-Latinos, often fully integrated and assimilated -- but still illegal and getting away with it because perhaps they operate as contractors through small businesses that they own or that they put in the names of friends and family.

Answer 3

They make many extra jobs for our law enforcement agencys and border patrols possible. They help keep our courts busy. By them taking all the low paying undesireable jobs, the Americans that are out of work can continue collecting unemployment instead of having to take these lousy jobs. This is all good for America.

Answer 4

These people are human beings. I'm sure they have much to offer our country. That is not in dispute. Everyone needs to pay taxes, they provide education, roads, public aid etc. If you are reaping the benefits, you should contribute. It is an economics issue. 9/11 was a very horrible day for this country and we just want everyone that enters our country to enter with our knowledge. Legal immigration is attainable. To everyone who enters my country the right way i say WELCOME TO AMERICA! I hope that I have not offended you, as that was not my intent. Peace.

Answer 5

The amount of trash in our landfills.

I don't see the prices of service or homes going down here in Fl because of the illegal labor. That saved money is going into the pockets of the owners.

Answer 6

It's because some of our government own big business and they want to pay cheap labor. This is why they are not cracking down hard on them.

Answer 7

All they wanted were struggling for their own survival in foreign land not in kicking the butts of the migrant countryon planet earth.
Observe how they came with two empty hands and with time they prosper in migrant counrty which they could not have back home on planet earth.
That is why they keep on jumping ship from their own homeland on planet earth.

Answer 8

They contribute 50 billion a year in taxes.

Answer 9

Headlines.

Answer 10

yes they are contribute. They do the work that we don't like to, bcoz they get less pay, so we get lower cost production, then the company will make more money. So, this are the benefits we get.
