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 Mexican who sneaks in
here with his wife and five children. He takes a job for five or six dollars
an hour. At that wage with six dependents he pays no income tax, yet at the
end of the year gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free. He
qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent, food stamps, and free
(no deductible, no co-pay) health care. His children get free breakfasts and
lunches at school, and require bi-lingual teachers and books that taxpayers
provide. He doesn't have to worry about car insurance, life insurance, or
homeowners insurance. Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins,
and print! ed material. He cannot be fired, harassed, or sued. He and his
family receive the equivalent of $20 to $30 an hour in benefits, while
working Americans are lucky to have $5 or $6 an hour left after paying their
bills and his, and paying for increased crime, graffiti, and trash cleanup.
Cheap labor? Yeah Right!!!
