Ok, I don't have much time but let me give you a short answer. In the South we are experiencing a phenomenal building boom. The illegals dominate the labor force. Why? You pay them min wage, no taxes for the builders, no workman's comp is paid, no insurance. Guess who is loosing out on all those jobs. Legal citizens. The work force is dominated by these people. All the builders have to do is pay them cash, if they get hurt or injured on the job they don't have to pay them anything. The idividual is not going to complain, they are illegal and fear deportation. The builder gets a break on his costs of hiring workers and the legal laboror is locked out of the work force. Happens all the time. Same for yard workers, construction, and small businesses in food service. Guess who pays for the illegals health care. Guess who pays when they show up at the ER with pneumonia or a pregnant wife. Guess who pays when they fall off a roof. You, me, and the taxpayers.
