quote]I have a buddy that owns a large landscape type business and he used to help illegals etc. He ended up having to hire a few after he had a bunch of thefts, people not showing up etc. He told me they were by far the hardest working, most honest and best employees he has ever had and treats them like family, and he couldn't have survived without them[/quote]
Your “buddy” and others like him are the reason we are in the position we are in today. You reap what you sew, and they are reaping it now.
If your business plan is so poor and unrealistic that you can’t afford to pay legal workers, then the burden is on you to come up with a viable plan that does work using legal workers. Don’t blame others for your bad choices.

no one in the last 4-5 pages has provided a valid reason to keep the illegal immigrants in this country that offsets the $150 billion/year that the American taxpayers are burdened with. and that’s still just the economics, not the social impact.

Hate to break it to you, but the majority of them work "legally" with a social that they stole from someone. I ran a cleaning service based out of Colorado. We purchased a new service and asked exisiting employees for their ID's. Some gave us one that was different from the one originally given to the prior owners. They get multiple socials, sometimes with different names. They do "pay taxes", but they commit identity theft, so they should be out on their keisters. They do get benefits. They usually have kids, and their kids qualify, they work, but the social is stolen, so there's no proof of income, so they rake in housing ( kids can't be homeless), food stamps, medicaid ( mom qualifies because she has kids)
Using random SSN has been going on over 30s (that I know of), that's how "legit" chicken processing places in the South hire illegals. The illegal "hits" on a valid number (or buys it) and the employer runs it through eVerify with no corcern that "John Smith" can't speak english. They don't use that SSN for SS or SSI benefits though. As far as eligibly for state benefits, that verifies by state.
How do I know? They told me about all the benefits they got, and I was paying them on average $23 -25 an hour to clean homes full time. They did not always do great work and worked slow to get more hours.
I'm not familiar with housekeeping skills of any particular group, but I can assure you that hispanic roofing crews in MS are far superior and less expensive and do better work than white crews. I roofed summers in high school, white kids would do it 50 years ago, but not near as many now.
My neighbor, hispanic (born in TX) has a landscaping business. One of his Hispanic helpers has one arm, the dude handles a week eater better than anyone on this board. A white or black dude would be laying on the couch on the government tit if he lost an arm. I can think of three white guys he has hired over the last 10 years, only one made it a full day and he made it about a week.

That's the part they refuse to say out loud. If you are losing jobs to illegals, you probably have some responsibility for your lack of options.
Wrong. Once a hole crew is Mexican, a white can never work in that crew nor communicate. Get back to English speaking crews and get our jobs back.
