Your wages or salary should be at least double what it is now. The bottom rung of the economic ladder, for jobs at places like Mac Donalds, should be no less than $20/hour, and more in high-cost areas.

The reason your salary is not at least double is because of illegal immigration. This is a fact, plain and simple.

If the amnesty bill had been enacted, it would have cost American taxpayers 2.4 trillion dollars in social benefits to the former illegals over 20 years. These people are parasites on society. They contribute little and take a lot.

Finally, there is the issue of culture. Our great tradition with immigration is for the immigrants to come here, assimilate into our society and make a contribution to society. The Hispanics want to bring their culture here and keep it and keep their language and live off the largess of the taxpaying public. Free education, free health care, food stamps - all the benes that we have supposedly reserved for legal Americans and those unfortunate Americans who need our help, not for every damn foreigner who's lucky enough or sneaky enough to set foot on our soil.
