    SUBJECT ON IMMIGRATION

     

    A little harsh? I DON'T THINK SO

    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.
