After the previous post I am posting the report that appears to be conveniently ignored again. Remember this was from Fox Business News:
http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/economy/illegal-immigration-provides-benefits-states-despite-rhetoric/
I read your report. Nice try. Total B.S. as far as I'm concerned. I'm writing about California, but I can't believe Mexican criminality is that much different in AZ or in TX.
The idea that illegals contribute more in taxes than in services they use is just nonsense. Most don't make enough to pay either state or federal income taxes and many who do divide their income among different ID's and SSN's so that they are able to escape income taxes, if they even bother to file tax returns at all. The bald statement that illegal aliens pay federal, state and local income taxes is just a lie. They don't. For starters, Texas and Nevada don't even have personal state income taxes. California and Arizona do and tax evasion with the all cash underground economy and multiple tax ID numbers is rampant.
These business reports conveniently ignore the fact that cheap Mexican labor is cheap, in substantial part, because of avoidance of tax and other laws. Illegal alien employers frequently don't withhold taxes, SSN, FICA, etc., don't pay overtime and
don't pay for worker's compensation insurance. When their cheap Mexican workers are injured on the job, they're driven down to the county hospital for "free" medical care and the taxpayers foot the bill. Mexicans not only steal American jobs, they steal American public services as well and participate in the climate of corruption.
As for the argument that property taxes and sales taxes are "unavoidable", this is drivel.
Sales taxes are avoidable. In California, groceries and medicines are not taxed. Neither is Aid to dependent children, free public education and free healthcare. In addition, there is a huge Mexican underground economy that does not pay taxes of any kind including sales taxes, income taxes, etc. Just go to downtown Los Angeles or many other California towns and this you can see this "underground" economy operating in plain sight. No sales taxes, no payroll taxes, no worker's compensation, etc....and no enforcement either. Mexicans just ignore the law and our pro-Mexican, occupation government looks the other way. It's like a country within a country.
However, when they need schooling, healthcare, etc., they go to taxpayer funded public schools and the county hospitals that are funded by Americans who actually obey the law and pay taxes.
It's true that property taxes are assessed against real property on a parcel basis, but so what. Mexicans routinely have from 2 - 5 families living in a single dwelling. There have been single family homes in L.A. with 30-40 people living in them. They convert their garages to dormatories to rent out to transients (and park their cars on the street, sidewalk, yards, etc. Mexican communities are choked with cars parked all over the place. You can hardly drive down their streets where cars are double parked.). The mortgage payment is apportioned among as many as a dozen wage earners and off the books cash businesses and the property taxes are based on assessed value, not on the number of people who live in a specific property. A single American family with two kids in public schools pays the same property taxes as 4 or 5 Mexican families living in a single family home, but who have a dozen or more kids attending public schools and getting free health care and free foodstamps. Mexicans use vastly more public services, but do not pay more taxes to compensate for it. They are experts at using multiple ID's to screw the system. They have one set of ID's when they get their foodstamps and aid to dependent children and free health care. They have another set of ID's for working. Another set for getting a bank account, etc. It doesn't end!
Here in California we have heard this drivel for years about how
cheap Mexican labor is the basis of our "prosperity." Well if that's true, WHY IS MEXICO SO POOR with all of its cheap labor?
Americans are fleeing California's "prosperity" even as more third world primitives are flooding in. California is dying. If the rest of the American people do not get their heads out of their a**es their communities and states will be dying too. This phony baloney business report from Fox News is no different from the other phony, lying business reports over the years from the L.A. Times, UCLA, etc. Sometimes I read crap like this and it reminds of the old Soviet Union. There the ruling elites trumpeted the news that things have never been better that the five year program was a great success and in the mean time, the rank and file citizens stood shivering in the snow in line with their ration tickets waiting for their portion of bread and potatoes. We have been lied to and screwed by the rulers who publish this kind of crap and if Americans don't open their eyes and just use their common sense, we're doomed.
