Here are two families headed by: "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 before taxes.
Jose Illegal also works in construction, 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 = $1,000.00 per week, or
$52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax;
Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
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 out that $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
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.
(…and, of course, the "freebies" that Jose Illegal gets are
paid by all American taxpayers.)
Do you get it, now?
If you 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!

This is BS and illogical.
Name the construction companies in Vegas that can get away with paying under the table, not automatically taking taxes out of paychecks. NAME THEM. Name one.
Please name the State and local clinics in Vegas that give 100% medical and dental coverage. NAME ONE. I want to use it. I need it, and I’m sure all those short-changed by their employer plans could use it too.
Name the government office that, after 1995, is allowed to give food stamps and welfare to illegals. Just one government office. NAME ONE.
Name the federal office that gives out $500/month federal rent subsidy. I've been out of work for over a year. NAME THIS PLACE. Must be one here in Vegas, right? Name it. I'll be at that office tomorrow collecting mine. [I notice you don’t publish this help for legal citizens.]
Immigration and Welfare - Most of them will pay at least as much as they collect.- Wall Street Journal May 24, 2007
The Social Security actuaries recently calculated that over the next 75 years immigrant workers will pay some $5 trillion more in payroll taxes than they will receive in Social Security benefits. These surplus payments more than offset the costs of use of other welfare benefits received by most immigrant groups.
You know who is sending the most money out of the country? Retiring or retired Americans who can't afford to retire in the US. Dont believe me? Call the IRS and Social Security in DC. I did. Took me days, but I tracked it down after reading a small item in the papers. From The San Francisco Chronicle: ”Remittances from the United States to Mexico have risen dramatically, from $9 billion to $14.5 billion in just two years. Although initially interpreted as representing a huge increase in illegal workers (who send parts of their salaries across the border to family), it turns out to be mainly money sent by Americans to themselves to finance Mexican homes and retirements.”
Did you know that TX would be broke without the illegal aliens' money paying in to the state coffers with dough they will never get back. Texas State Comptroller, Carolle Keeton Strayhorn (Scott McClellan's mother), ordered the first nationwide state audit to determine the drain from illegal aliens. The results surprised everyone: ”The absence of the estimated 1.4 million undocumented immigrants in Texas in fiscal 2005 would have been a loss to our gross state product of $17.7 billion," said Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn.” (Reuters, Dec 8, 2006)
And further from the Texas report:The net increase to state revenues came from payments such as sales taxes and user fees. The report says removing illegal migrants from the state would lead to a tighter labor market and higher wages. "Without the undocumented immigrant population, Texas' workforce would decrease by 6.3 percent. ... The most significant impact would be a noticeable tightening in labor markets," the report says.
Nevada discovered this fact, a little too late:
From the Las Vegas Sun, April 14, 2008
As Assemblyman Moises Denis, D-Las Vegas, explained: The 2007 state budget “didn’t take into account the true impact immigrants have on the economy, so we underestimated how (the downturn in homebuilding) would affect our economy. Things are worse than they might have been because immigrants are leaving.” They figure about $9 billion short as a result.

Yeah, I'm out of work, and I need help, but one reason why I am an ex-Republican is the small-mindedness and lack of savvy economic skill on the part of local leaders who think engaging their amygdala (google it), and using it to handle important problems, allows them to publish sub-grade thinking like was published here and think it suffices for real leadership and economic direction.
Good luck with Jim Condit’s precinct strategy if this is all you have to offer.
Try UMC for the Kidney Dialysis weekly by illegals receiving for FREE while US citizens are turned away!
Until we have a one party system no one will be happy...the energy for rebuilding the US is all used up in the party fights!
Get wise Americans...one party only...name it:
One Party so no one is offended!
Name one? Do you live under a rock or what? I guess so if you have not heard the big stink the Union made over a drywall contractor for hiring illegals. I don't have to name them. The Union did that. Look it up. We won't even get into Joe Landscaper vs Jose landscaper.
UMC UMC UMC... there, that's 3.
You don't qualify for assistance. You are a citizen. Get back to work and leave the blogging to the gainfully employed. If you want to believe everything you read in the SF papers, and that Texas will die without illegals, maybe you should retire. Did you read what you copied and pasted? Do the math, and OMG! Unemployment would drop by 6.3%! What a disaster!
You bechaa too. The economic disaster that is the Nevada budget isn't about overspending after all. We need to blame this on the illegals going home! Well thank goodness we can't blame irresponsible government.
I refuse to be associated with Condit and this isn't "his" idea. If you were educated, you would know where Jim got his idea. There is a reason why Jim and his group has never gotten off the ground. Find out by doing the same Google search every 6th grader can do. I got my idea from Obama, only he called it community organizing.
We have a two party system and always have. If you don't like it, move to a country that has a one party system. There are plenty to choose from.
Good luck to you too!
