Search ‘welfare pays better’ to find two FR articles posted here 8-18 and 8-20 showing welfare pays better than entry level jobs.
I agree that amnesty sucks, but the ‘Trayvons’ aren’t loosing any sleep over maybe losing a landscaping or poolboy job to illegals.

We have 20 million Americans unemployed or underemployed. We don't need 1.2 million legal immigrants a year, most of whom are poor and uneducated. And who the Hell do you think pays the welfare payments? FYI: Immigrants use welfare to a greater degree than the native born.

Between the first quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 2013, the native-born population accounted for two-thirds of overall growth in the working-age population (16 to 65), but none of the net growth in employment among the working-age has gone to natives.

The overall size of the working-age native-born population increased by 16.4 million from 2000 to 2013, yet the number of natives actually holding a job was 1.3 million lower in 2013 than 2000.

The total number of working-age immigrants (legal and illegal) increased 8.8 million and the number working rose 5.3 million between 2000 and 2013.
