immigration: Big questions that the media wont touch:

[rainy]

Question 1. What percentage of illegal immigrants use fake id's? If the number is that most do then the argument that they don't pay taxes is a lie as they would have to pay taxes if they use fake SS #'s. Plus we all know that whenever they buy anything they pay taxes.

Question 2. If most illegal immigrants do not have fake ids but just get hired with full knowledge of the employers then why aren't the employers being prosecuted?

Question 3: What wages are the illegals getting? If it is under minimum wage what happens when the time is up for them to become legal will they lose their low paying jobs since they are legal and can now get minimum wage?

Question 4: Once the immigrant has earned their citizenship will they lose their shitty paying job and become jobless since they can't be paid illegal wages?

I really don't understand how they are paid. The media makes it sound like they all use fake ids but if this is the case then they would have to be getting minimum wage. I have a feeling that most get paid under the table. If this is the case then the employer is to blame.

Question 5: What are the wages allowed to be paid to LEGAL immigrants? Is this below minimum: If this is the case then I see why the corporate government would want it to take a long time for legal immigrants to be made into citizens. Once they become citizens they will no longer be employable as they will have to join the ranks of the rest of Americans who can't work for less then minimum wage by law.

1. Where is everybody? Are you reading this?

2. I'm reading and agree.

These are questions that need to be asked and answered but the media will never touch it. As I continue to say the media is our enemy. Unless somehow they can made to report the truth we are all at the mercy of the propaganda machine.

3. I am reading.....

and you are absolutely correct. Someone needs to answer these questions. I also want to know how they are going to stop the millions and millions of dollars being sent to Mexico by illegals every year.
I do know this....where I live in NC, farm labor pay, in cash, is $7.00 an hour, with some of the farm jobs paying up to $10-$12 per hour (like someone who can not only operate the equipment but can also work on it if needed) That is higher than the minimum wage plus without taxes taking part of what they make.
What incentive is there for them to become legal if they can avoid the $5000 and continue on just like they have been?

4. If that is seven dollars cash then isn't that illegal?

It seems so obvious that the employer is being protected, like every politician knows that they are paying under the table and the rest of us don't seem to get that.

5. Too true....

Our local NC House of Representative, William Brisson is a large tobacco farmer in the area. He knows but, like all the other politician, this is not the only dirty dealing he condones. He actually paid his nephew cash under the table to work for him full time while the nephew also drew a 100% disability check.
Politicians make me sick.
