Illegals vs Legals- The Difference is Simple

[Vivian Blink]

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 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 $000 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.

You've got to be careful Vivian, to whom you extend the chance for citizenship. A simple application along with the ability to speak english is NOT ENOUGH of a qualifier for me.
If you've entered this country illegally you must FIRST return to your country of origin and make application for citizenship like all the millions that have done so before.
Our current citizenship process is an excellent one ending with the applicant being sworn in at an appropriate ceremony. Just crossing one of our open borders is NOT enough to qualifiy to become a citizen of this great nation in fact it is reason to DENY citizenship to that individual.
There are millions of people across the globe who would love to become a US citizen. It is right we give ALL those wishing citizenship a chance not only those geographically positioned to cross illegally. As we have found out over our history, our diversity is one of our strengths. 12 million or is it 40 million illegal Mexicans crowded into our southern border states does NOT exhibit a diversity of population. What it does tell us is our borders leak like a sieve and that there exists a disproportionate number of people with Mexican blood changing the nature of our good will.

Thanks for the comment, my friend! You are absolutely right! We are not an inhospitable, selfish people (as our upsurper n' chief would have people believe), but our legal citizens should come first! Anything that comes too easy is not appreciated. I say, let them learn our language, attend high school here and then apply for their citizenship like so many immigrants from European countries were required to do. Until then, no free healthcare and no free food. If they have not applied for citizenship within 30 days of arrival (or discovery) ship them back from whence they came! Once the European immigrants worked and studied for their citizenship and were awarded it, they treasured it and became some of our best, patriotic and loyal Americans!

Gentlemen....thank you for your insightful comments. You both got it right!
Now....we need to dedicate our efforts to focusing on stopping those greedy employers
and to citizen awareness.

Dan, if you think the employers are the problem you're only part right. Illegals are here because life is better than in Mexico or any other point of origin. Illegals are here whether they work for unscrupulous employers or not. Illegals DO work for employers that do it all legally also, because thousands of illegals have fake documents including SS numbers. They do so with the help of lib organizations like ACORN.
The biggest affect and most destructive to our nation from illegals living and hiding within our borders is that they get "the right to vote"! Those very same underground sources of fake SS numbers, birth certificates, and drivers licenses are the same sources that get those illegals registered to vote. Ever heard of ACORN??? Ever heard of SEIU??? Ever heard of Voces de la Frontera??? and a hundred other organizations willing and able to break our laws.
Does anyone think this last presidential election reflects the TRUE choice of this nation??? Does anyone grasp the consequences of a fraudulent electoral process supplying a president we know little about? Do you know how easy it was to change the outcome of the last election with the help of our media and the additional fake votes and/or vote counts?
One of the first objectives we have to conquer is a failed citizenry. We ARE who we have become . . . . . dishonest. We as a people are willing to live with those who would cheat our children and grandchildren out of their inheritance. We are complacent when we should be compassionate about the heart and sole of those who truly serve our country to preserve it's roots, it's very strength, it's love of righteousness. We were once the greatest nation on earth because we had at our very heart the love of freedom, the love of liberty, and the willingness to share with others.
THAT is no longer.the fact. Our constitution has become a "living document" . It's now only a guideline which some are calling outdated or an impediment to progress and must be changed. This administration more than any other in history has done damage to our nations principles and founding documents and philosophy.
The sooner we grasp the BIG picture the quicker we can recover from this nighmare.

All the Jose Illegals come here looking to work...employers break the law to benefit themselves. All the employers of all the Jose Illegals make millions of extra profit off their unreported Jose Illegals. Many employers deduct FICA and state and Fed. taxes from Jose Illegals, but don't report it...extra profit! All employers of Jose Illegals don't pay for health insurance premiums for their ghost employees...more profit .
If you want to stop the Jose Illegals, follow the money!! Put an end to all the illegal hiring practices by all the greedy employers that corrupt the Capitalist System to benefit their bottom line.
Do YOU get it now????
