By doing day or seasonal labor, they allow better educated and higher income people to concentrate their time and resources on higher yield stuff.
Illegal immigrants pay taxes every time they buy something, and they generate tax revenue whenever they allow other people to focus their work elsewhere.
The state of TX (or any other state) is not taking a loss on these people.
Jackass.
Not every state has a sales tax so no they don't always pay when they buy. Your other statements make no sense. In your mind, educated people would be forced to work for shit money if the Mexicans went home. If we didn't have Mexicans, then the companies that employ them would be forced to raise wages to current market value. If they can't then they go bankrupt. That is how a free market economy works. Selling labor or anything else at below market value does nothing but hurt our economy. As to your last statement maybe the following will help.
"According to 2000 U.S. Census data, some 13.2 percent of immigrants enroll in welfare programs compared with 2.1 percent of native-born Americans. In Medicaid, 18.6 percent of immigrants participate, as opposite 12.1 percent of native-born. Mexican immigrants, who comprise the vast majority of immigrants to Texas, use food stamps at nearly twice the rate of native-born Americans and collect an average welfare payment that is 20 percent higher than those recipients.
The National Research Council found that in California, which has endured a similar flood of Mexican immigration as Texas, each native household is paying about $1,178 a year in state and local taxes to cover the gap between the services used by immigrant households and their tax receipts. Although Texas was not included in this study, there is no reason to think the reality is any different here.
Indeed, during the last three years, the Harris County Hospital District alone spent $330 million to treat and immunize illegal immigrants, estimated to be at least 20 percent of their indigent caseload. The District covers this expense through its escalating tax burden on local taxpayers and through cost-shifting to Medicaid and insured patients. The District provides not only emergency care to illegal immigrants, but also a full range of elective services, even access to its fertility clinic that is not included in the health plan for District employees. While the 700,000 illegal immigrants in Texas are only eligible for welfare if they have worked for at least ten years or received asylum, they receive free health care, food stamps, education, and nearly all other government services.
In 2002, Medicaid represented 22.6% of Texas' budget. That number is expected to increase to 23.7% in 2003 in the wake of an August 19 report by the Health and Human Services Commission concluding that, because of higher-than-planned growth in caseloads, the state's Medicaid and children's health insurance programs will cost $2.4 billion more in the next budget cycle than in the current one. Since 1987, the Texas Medicaid budget has grown 500 percent, due in large part to increased enrollment, much of it undoubtedly the result of immigration."
P.S. Whats with the hostility?? Are you gay or a beaner? Maybe both?
