CHEAP LABOR--IT DOESN'T EXIST!


There is no such thing as "cheap labor."

Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children.

--He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.

--He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.

--He qualifies for food stamps.

--He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.

--His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

--He requires bilingual teachers and books.

--He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

--If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.

--Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of
this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.

--He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners
insurance.

--Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed
material.

--He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in
benefits.

--In Costa Mesa he gets free services and handouts from the City Council that are funneled through some charities.

--Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after
paying their bills and his.

The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash
clean-up.
