I guess this pretty well says it all. We need a system that will allow outsiders to lawfully migrate to this country and a system that does not reward those that come here illegally.




You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal".
Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California ...or Texas ....or... Arizona ....or.

Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".

Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30%
away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.

Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work to make ends meet.

Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same elementary school. Joe Legal pays
for his children's lunches,
while Jose Illegal's children get a free, government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegal's children have a
free after school ESL
program. Joe Legal's children go home to an empty house.

Now, when they reach college age, Joe Legal's kids may not get into a State School and may not
qualify for scholarships,
grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State Schools through his
taxes, while Jose Illegal's kids
"go to the head of the class" because they are a minority.

Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and
Jose did not pay anything.
