As a tax payer we should all be concerned about this. As a citizen everyone should be concerned. To expect that it is ok to pay a person less than someone else to do a jab that "no one wants to do" is a form of slavery.To think that person comes from a place where that much money is considered great wealth is tyranny. With the great number of people on welfare that are physically capable of doing those jobs yet not working and people wanting to pay someone from a poor country to do the job anyway, is sickening.


To know that a person without registered identification comes to a country and does work at a low wage because he is willing to work for that low, is overlooking one fact, there stands a good chance that he will not pay taxes on his income. so the low pay is nearly do-able.
Knowing that a company is willing to pay people so little for on the fly trade skills (meaning who ever jumps in the truck should do his best to get the job done) forces you to over look one thing, chances are the owner of that company is probably not paying taxes. That of course allows him to make a low bid. that allows him to beat out qualified people who really know what they are doing that actually do pay their taxes. this causes only non tax paying companies to become the highest value. this of course makes less taxes paid and explains why there is a big fat debt in the usa, and a massive amount of out of job people sucking on welfare.
In this case politically correct is economically incorrect.
Here is an example of a way around the issue:
Kraft the dairy company needs some work done, u.s.a government tells someone to mix cheese for a month and their welfare will increase, Kraft pays u.s.a. a set fee for this labor.

I know that is a simplistic way of thinking, but I really do not know how simple I have to write this so that it is understood that we have an issue and by hiring outside help will only cause the issue to get worse. Does it make me a redneck to want to solve our issues before we play super hero and help everyone else?
