The problem with illegals is that they are not paying taxes because they are working "under the table". They don't pay federal or state income taxes. Sure they pay sales taxes, but they are not exactly big spenders. They usually send a lot of money back home to other countries. They live on the cheap. If they live in an apartment at $500 a month for a room (going rate), that's only $6500 a year. The real estate tax on that room can't be more than $1000 (if that). The landlord has to make something on that room.

What a glamorous life--living with several people in a room, working several jobs, often the scut jobs no one wants to do...

I agree. It's horrible for them. The solutions are at much higher levels . . . the immigration issue has been ignored by Congress. Getting these people to be legal would be great for all concerned. As it is, they are exploited by people who are getting richer and richer. And the middle class is paying the bill. It's not sustainable. Hard reality.

They could be deported. That's hard reality too.
 Then who would watch your children, wash your dishes, clean your offices and homes and do your landscaping. Be careful what you wish for.

I would never have a illegal alien watch my child. I clean my own home and my own landscaping. Why would I need someone to wash my dishes?

Just saying that it's an option, and not one to complain about when one is here illegally.  [/quote]

Believe it or not, this is how it used to be when there were more people in the true middle class (less of an income divide).  Going back to this would not be a bad thing.  Maybe we would have fewer obese kids and people who understood what work is.  [/quote]
