Illegal Immigration – A Crime That Pays
When I was a kid I often heard the saying, “Crime doesn’t pay.” And back then, such was usually the case. Though there were most certainly exceptions, in general, it seemed to me as though most criminals eventually paid for their crimes. And back then, it also seemed to me that most people believed that’s the way it should be. Boy, how things have changed.
Easy to understand and just maybe a clue to some of our problems nationally
Subject: Joe and Jose
This makes perfect sense to me, so I thought I would share. Please pass
along as you see fit...
You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have
two parents, two children, and live in California .
Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes
$25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.
Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and
gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Ready? Now pay attention...
Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $ 1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00
per year. Now take away state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.00
per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his
family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now has
$24,031.00.
Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and
local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has
$31,200.00.
Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or
welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year.
Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.
Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps and
welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe
Legal now has $9,631.00.
Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal
pays $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $
31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for insurance. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.
Jose Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has
$31,200.00.
Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc.
Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline,
and what he sends out of the country every month.
Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after
work.
Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.
Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe
Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a
government sponsored lunch.. Jose Illegal's children have an after school
ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home.
Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but
Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.
Do you get it, now?
If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens...You
are part of the problem!
It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!
Step 2. Defend Obama
Step 3. Divert attention from the current administrations lack of action on this subject
Step 4. If anyone says anything negative about Obama, start over at Step 1.
p.s. this works for just about any subject Obama has failed in ...
If I were in their place I would be doing the same to keep my family from going hungry. Would you not?
Step 5: If anyone says anything negative about Obama call them racist and resort back to Step 1
I thank Obama for making public dissent patriotic again.
More social ills in California than I can begin to name.
Immigration should be enforced. We should only allow quality immigrants in to our country. Educated people, people with skills we can use to make our country the best it can be.
OK, blast away!
Spacely Sprocket hires Juan who has a SS card and other ID. The card comes back OK because the name and number match.
Next to Juan is local worker Nina who makes the same money but pays taxes and has limited healthcare. Juan gets a document saying he make a lot less money than Nina, has 8 kids, and of course is a citizen or claims his kids are born here. Juan ops out of the company insurance and has minimal taxes taken out because of his 8 paper dependents.
Juan gets free healthcare paid for by taxpayers, Nina can't get her breast cancer treated because she can't afford the copays and deductibles and she gets really sick and can't work.
Juan gets full free healthcare and so do any friends or neighbors kids who look like they might be his.
Nina gets sicker and can't work, loses her healthcare, gets last minute crisis treatment too late, finds out she is now terminal, and eventually dies.
Juan gets caught using his fake SS number and papers and buys a new good number and ID.
The same place or another place hires him under a new name, Julio.
The illegal immigrant must be below the Medicaid income limits as well.
The income limit for Juan to receive this emergency Medicaid (assuming he has 2 children, a spouse and on his death bed) is approx. $925. The limit is higher for pregnancy related emergencies…this is because, in the past, Georgia had a very high infant mortality rate (this rate included citizens as well).
It is VERY difficult to receive emergency Medicaid...much paperwork involved and it has to be approved by the Medicaid Department..and only AFTER the service has been received. Now how often do you hear of a doctor providing services without payment? Also, Juan cannot obtain Medicaid simply by presenting a false SSN. Legal residency and citizenship is verified.
These are facts. Not opinion.
However, I do agree that more of our poorer tax-paying citizens should have access to public assistance if needed. There are many individuals out there that require help and cannot receive it.
Our leaders have been treasonous in their lack of representation of our laws and wants. I have nothing against people coming to the US in want of a better life but we have rules and laws. The Companies that hire illegals need to be severely punished.
Illegal aliens have made America the dumping ground for all their illegal alien children, then we have to school them and give them free medical care.

I for one, am sick and tired of these illegal aliens snubbing their nose at our immigration laws and the many other laws of this Country. If our Federal Government can not ENFORCE our immigration laws, and get these illegal aliens out of this Country, then let the States do it! One way or another, an end has to come to this illegal immigration, and not with AMNESTY! Amnesty will only encourage more illegal aliens to invade our Country and reward those who broke our laws and raped the American taxpayer in many ways...depressing our wages, taking our jobs, overwhelming our schools with their ILLEGAL ALIEN children, driving without a license or car insurance, all the crime from stolen identities to rape, drugs and everything else.
It's time for ZERO TOLERENCE with these illegal aliens. It's time for them get out of this Country and back in their own Country where they belong. When we get rid of the illegal aliens, we will get rid of all the problems that go with them. THAT IS A FACT!
These "illegals" are just looking for the same American dream as the early European settlers... fortunately there were no laws to prevent them.
Do you realize whats going on in Mexico? People will do what they must to care and provide for their family. I would do the same.
Blame the system if you must, but not the people.
I do not blame the foreign invaders, I blame the American people for continually sending the crooks to Washington!!!
If you are willing to admit it or not we all have benefited directly or indirectly from the cheap labor.
My home state of California has been basically lost to these parasites! So sit back and wait for your "hard statistics" while your country is given( or taken) away to those who have no legal or moral right to be here!
Our problem in not legal immigration, it is the illegal invasion and the elected thieves in Washington.
I have been apathetic way too long. politicians fear one thing. The vote. We need to let them know that they are gone unless they address this issue.
They can get anything they want.
I know for a fact that happens.
However, they CANNOT obtain Medicaid without proving their citizenship. They would have to steal identities for themselves and any dependent to be included in the case (ss cards, birth certs, picture ids, check stubs all matching info). Seems like a lot of trouble to go through given that most of their children are born in the US anyway and dont need a false identity to get Medicaid. Most are to fearful of being deported to pull something like this off and are satisfied with Medicaid for their children.
I can assure you that IF an illegal adult immigrant manages to obtain medicaid in Georgia posing as a citizen, it does not occur often. There are bigger issues involving misuse of tax dollars.

Free trade under the NAFTA treaty became an abomination, as it deposed indigenous farmers from their income lands South of the border, thanks to US agricultural corporations. They needed to feed their families, so in their desperation they came looking for work in the United States. This catch 22 situation has appropriated lands in Mexico for US agricultural interests, at the same time forcing millions striving to reach this nation. As the Obama administration considers CIR, the numbers of illegal immigrants will rise in apportionment to the new AMNESTY law being to be enacted.
Border States, specifically as CALIFORNIA--a known sanctuary state, is falling apart financially and with no end in sight. Arizona and Texas, must be suffering as any state now, compromised financially by the illegal immigrant occupation? E-Verify continues to contribute to immigration enforcement with a more rational emphasis on identifying foreign workers. It should not be construed as perfect, but it is progressively making headway in removing illegal labor. It's become a paramount issue because years of neglect by previous administrations, but now--REAL--enforcement is watched carefully by bloggers and non-pandering press. Building on it's original concept with new tools has added a much stronger and opponents can no longer denies it works? But any enforcement program that is working is normally easy prey for certain corrupt politicians and the open border organizations. E-Verify, a composite of the SAVE ACT--can only get better--that's if its meant to really succeed? New innovations such as the ID picture comparison program will assist employers in the future. Just like any computer fed application that goes through many debugging versions, until the final cut, E-Verify can only do better as it matures.
It might seem meaningless now, but if the rush to the border comes, as its been said by bloggers' like me and even the press, whom normally have their fingers in their ears. That--NOTHING--will--STOP--the onslaught. The US Border Patrol needs to be enforced with the National Guard, because the numbers who try to force a way into America will overwhelm even the imagination? OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN CRIPPLED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND WILL CONTINUE TOO, BECAUSE OF POOR ENFORCEMENT. THE NUMBERS OF 12 TO 13 MILLION ALREADY HERE, DOESN'T ADD UP?
Those who have urged President Obama to enact this nonsensical AMNESTY, will be out-of-office, in the 2010 election year. Sen.Harry Reid (D-NV) leading the pack of wolves, will be the first to end up on the political funeral pyre. Those who come here from South of border and the very tip of South America, will enter with contagious diseases, criminal records and may be even terrorists. Those who slip across the Canadian border or through lengthy tourist lines at airport terminals could also be carriers of many viruses, not seen in America for fifty years.
This is not about racism in regards to stopping illegal immigration, unless a large majority of Americans are considered to be? This about billions of dollars being drained from American taxpayers, about billions for education, health care, the prison system and hidden government entitlements. It's about "THE Rule of LAW" and each administration that refuses to address Immigration Enforcement and allows illegal workers, criminals and even terrorist breaking into a sovereign country. Now they are trying to brain wash us with another--AMNESTY--which we cannot allow to happen? It will be the harbinger of unsustainable population growth according to the US Census Bureau. Don't take my word: GOOGLE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, COSTS. & OTHER STATISTICS. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT CORRUPTION AND THE AGENDA OF OPEN BORDER ORGANIZATIONS AT NUMBERSUSA & JUDICIAL WATCH. CALL YOUR SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN AT 202-224-3121. SAY NO TO AMNESTY! SAY YES TO E-VERIFY & POLICE ARREST 287 (G). SAY ICE RAIDS. SAY YES TO THE SAVE ACT. SAY NO TO OVERPOPULATION. If you are against illegal immigration, we too must bombard WASHINGTON with a 28 cent postcard. There are more patriotic Americans and legal residents than illegal foreign nationals, sponging off taxpayers who will pour into our nation by the millions Just before AMNESTY is signed into law.
This isn't rocket-science, and is because illegal aliens here have absolutely no stake in our country or communities and are only here to survive by whatever means necessary. This is eroding and destroying our quality of life at an alarming rate and something needs to be done to stop it.
Crime is such a problem because the countries these illegal aliens come from are cesspool of crime, chaos, corruption, murder, rape and mayhem. Don't believe me? Have you checked the news lately?
We have hordes of freeloading and criminal illegal aliens SNEAKING in here and the open-border, illegal alien advocates are screaming for AMNESTY. You have to ask one question; are you joking? They want us to wave a wand and just grant these people citizenship. No way, and I'm vehemently opposed to any immigration reform, no matter how it's worded.
This further necessitates the need for these 10 things;
1. building an impenetrable wall and fence from San Diego to the Gulf of Mexico,
2. doubling / tripling the size of the Border Patrol and Customs,
3. making E-Verify mandatory for all employers,
4. conducting more coastal patrols by the US Coast Guard,
5. conducting more ICE raids,
6. tracking down and deporting visa over-stayers,
7. redressing Section 1 of the 14th Amendment,
8. taking away Section 8 housing, WIC, welfare, free education, and healthcare,
9. taking away ALL entitlements, including free delivery of anchor babies,
10. removing all incentives for the hordes of freeloading illegal aliens from SNEAKING in here.
Once we do this, let's hope the hordes of freeloaders and criminal illegal aliens self-deport.
If you’re a concerned citizen, you need to contact your Senatorial and Congressional representatives and demand they do something to stop the utter erosion of our quality of life.
Seize all funds of the Chamber of Commerce and the Associated Builders and Contractors of America as the advocate for employer amnesty.
Hold Republican Politicians who get money from groups that advocate for employer amnesty responsible. They like to blame the illiterate illegal alien but fail to force collage graduate managers responsible for giving American jobs to illegals!
No jobs = No Illegals
Wake up and smell the coffee people, you are part of the biggest capitalist nation on the face of the planet. Capitalism is a system of economics. The basic tenets of economics are thus: If there is a DEMAND there will be a SUPPLY.
Big companies DEMAND cheap labor, illegal immigrants SUPPLY cheap labor.
Simple as that.
But let me illustrate something else for you.
You send all illegal immigrants home, now people are taking over the same jobs at normal wages.
Now things cannot be produced as cheaply. The cost of food goes up, the cost of housing goes up.
Which means that the cost of living has gone up.
You people seem to conveniently forget that they (illegal or not) are part of the reason you live so well.
You want to know where the problem really lies? It's not an economic issue it's not even a political issue, it's a societal issue.
The U.S. is in decline, it's a fact, we had our moment in the sun and now we are on the downhill. You nice white folks start to panic, "Why is this great country of ours failing?"
Humans are naturally xenophobic, hey, it's part of the reason we've survived this long. So it's only natural to target the largest minority in the country whose influx of immigration happens to coincide with the downfall of a nation. (remember correlation does not equal causation.)
When I hear this kind of drivel all I really hear is "I can't accept the fact that the country I love is failing so I'm going to scapegoat a different group of people instead of holding MYSELF, MY ACTIONS, and MY PEOPLE accountable."
Your gluttony is what brought them here, America, unless you feel like giving up double bacon cheeseburgers they're not going anywhere soon.
What about illegals who came here two decades ago, speak fluent english, have paid taxes every year, own a home, have credit cards, receive a company health care plan, and pays all medical bills and expenses. Basically IS an American without the actual "paper".
This in fact is my boyfriend from Europe who is a better "American" than our pathetic, everything should be free, ride the dole, collect "disability" for B.S. excuses citizens and embarrassing people. We are laughed at by basically every country.
What about that? He isn't taking a job from anyone in any capacity, his job is specialized. I just think it's funny that he is more on the up and up then most of the people in this country.
Ever watch Judge Judy? Yeah, I'd take a "wetback" over our pathetic "Americans" any day of the week. Yeah, our ghettos, urban housing, and social systems are something to really be proud of!
