My problem with the illegal immigration is that they aren't being taxed. I pay taxes, my taxes go to subsidize the very farms these people are working at.
IIRC a study once said that we weren't saving any money using illegal immigrants, they got paid the same amount as the legal workers they replaced, but because taxes weren't being withheld they illegals made more, and the consumers paid the same. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2006 11:02 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: immigration question > > > Nick wrote: > > Have Americans decided?
