"Is their (illegal migrant workers) hard and low paid work benefiting golf-players from gated communities or lower income American poor?"

_______________________

Answer: Yes.

From the employer's financial perspective, the illegal migrant worker is the worker of choice - the hired hand you want when you can get away with it.

FORMULA: 3 illegal migrants = 1 US citizen in labor costs.
* No health insurance costs.
* No retirement plan costs.
* No FICA, state, or local taxes costs.
* Very little complaining about work conditions.
* Will work 12 hours with only a one hour break.
* Can be terminated on a moment's notice with no legal ramifications or lawsuits.
* Little to no training costs.
* Ultra-flexible - can work rigorous shifts/laid off/recalled/worked/laid off with very little complaining.
* Up to one half less expensive in hourly wages.
The list of benefits for hiring illegal migrant workers is much longer than this, these are just for starters.

And another point for your list: The illegals will do really dangerous work without expensive safety precautions or safety gear. After all, if a few illegals die, these sack-of-**it employers couldn't care less. They'll just contact a coyote and pick out a new one tomorrow. It's almost as good as having slavery be legal in the U.S. again!

You are obviously not an employer. You don't even have a clue as to how the employer/employee system works. Have you even held a real job? Do you know what a paycheck looks like? Are you familiar with federal withholding laws? Have you ever even employed an accountant? Perhaps you can explain how unreported wages are are deducted from gross income. Think you can convince an IRS auditor that your roofing company had no labor costs?

Now I see how Buchanan got 1/4 of 1% of the vote.
