Brad's Bunker

Cheap labor

July 24, 2006

Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?

  • Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage

  • Consumers don't want expensive produce

  • Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs

  • But the bottom line is cheap labor

  • The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie

  • ~ there is no such thing as "cheap labor."

  • Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children.

  • He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour.

  • At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax,

  • yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax  Return,

  • he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.

  • He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent

  • He qualifies for food stamps

  • He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care

  • His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school

  • He requires bilingual teachers and books

  • He qualifies for relief from high energy bills

  • If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled,

    they qualify for SSI.

  • Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare.

  • All of this is at the taxpayer's expense.

  • He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.

  • Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.

  • He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.

  • Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour  Left after paying their bills and his.

  • The American taxpayer's also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

Cheap labor?

YEAH RIGHT!
