Problem with those numbers is that when they go - thier taxes go with them. Politicians has set us up real nice ain't they? Whose going to help pay for the trillions of debt we now have? We don't have 13 million out fo work and I for one don't know how to work a farm, I don't want a side job at the hotel.

I heard something about the issue now is employers are going with mostly "part time" positions. Thought that was kinda interesting.

Mostly "part time" positions, huh? Nice. So since they formerly employed illegal workers and didn't pay benefits or even a working wage, they now can't afford to pay minimum wage and benefits to full time employees, so they can keep only part timers. Cry me a river. I hope those are the people that soon go out of business.

It was a blip I heard on some radical Michael Savage or Rush show. Not much comes on in the afternoon on our talk radio anymore - Fox took over our good talk radio station and it's in the crapper.

It would just take things time to catch up..either way it would save us money in the long run. I know some of these people pay taxes but they take in benefits much more than they pay or spend in our economy. I still think we should use the Oklahoma laws as an example.

Forget the doomsday visions of what happens if suddenly they all disappeared overnight. It won’t happen. Whatever happens would occur at a slow enough rate that it will be absorbed over time. We might feel a few bumps along the way but no big crash.
