One important topic that is spoken about on and off is the illegal immigration from Mexico. There are many disanvantages occurring because of these immigrants. The illegal immigrants are working off the books and are not even paying taxes. They are breeding and having children here so that their offspring are legal citizens and can go to school in te states for free. Another problem is the idea that they are stealing legal citizens jobs. The big issue in this is that illegal immigrants are doing work that legal citizens do not want to do and are doing it for a lot cheaper. The illegal immigrants have earned some of my respect because of what is shown in the cartoon above and that is that they work their butts off.

It's a complicated issue, Pat. Around here, we mostly associate illegal immigrants with landscaping and construction jobs, but out in the farming states, especially California, crop harvesting depends on the work of what we call "Illegals."
ReplyDeleteI agree with you though that they should be put on the tax roles, which would require work visas. Then some of their income would flow back into the general economy.
