Assuming Joe Illegal gets paid $15 an hour, following are just some of the flaws in Chanty's logic:


Joe Legal gets some of the money back through tax refund. Did you account for that?


Joe legal is getting better medical services because he has insurance, illegal is not.


You say: Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state, I say: ER visit is hardly coverage. State coverage meaning Medicaid. Medicaid does not cover people who do not have legal status. Clinic visit will only fix your minimum problem.


Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Again you have to show proof of residency to qualify for rent subsidy.


Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps and welfare. Refer to my point above about residency.


Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family. How many people do you know who are illegal and they have their family here in the same country. The family is back home waiting for illegal to send the money.


Moreover, Joe illegal is charged high amount of rent because the ladlord knows he can get away with it. Joe illegal lives in constant fear that the authorities can catch him anytime. Get rid of illegals and you will be paying astronomical amounts for fruts and vegetables. Because of them, you, me and the rest of America have a great life.


Beat that!
