--Vin on our most pressing problem--

I heard this morning on a replay of the Laura Ingram show that a lot of the illegals will qualify for the Earned Income Credit and that the cost to American taxpayers over the next ten years is estimate at $20 billion dollars.

From the piece:
The ILLEGALS drove down the price for installing tile by more than 60 percent. Of course they were stealing supplies from their employers during the week and using them on their "side jobs," thus getting a leg up on me along with the fact that they didn't pay state licensing fees or bonding and insurance. ...Some would say that's the free market at work... tough.
The guy makes other very good points, such as "...our elected representatives represent illegals, not us".

Unfortunately our out-of-touch politicians think the Mexicans are coming here just to clean hotel rooms and pick vegetables. They don't have a clue about areas like suburban Atlanta and Louisville that have become overrun with illegals. There arean't any hotels or vegetable farms in those communities. These people have all come to work in construction, in jobs that Americans have ALWAYS done and wanted to do. They have unequivocally driven down wages and driven American contractors out of work. I hear about it all the time in my suburban Phliadelphia community, where there are not scads of illegals but there are enough to be causing some pain for local contractors.
What amazes me the most is that our liberal politicians fail to recognize that cnstruction has always been one of the few areas where a man can make a good living withot a college degree. Those blue-collar workrs used to be the heart of the Democrat party. I guess the Democrats are too busy counting the future votes of all the Mexicans that they are going to turn into citizens.

(Reid's) thinking was we could never round up 12 million people and deport them, although he seems to believe the government can somehow round up even more drug users who are citizens and ruin their lives. Yep, spot on, damn straight, and you got it, Vin.

Worse, they are under bidding all the entry level and first-step-of-the-ladder jobs away from our children.
Darn near an entire generation of American teenagers will leave their adolescent day care facilities high schools with no marketable skills, no work ethic, and no job experience.
We will be paying for this for generations.

In fact, illegals are taking the jobs skilled Americans used to do
Wouldn't suprise me...as there are many more of them here than
could fill all the "stoop" agriculture jobs.
