For all those who say low skilled, low educated people who make $10/hour contribute a net positive cash flow to our economy please tell me how they do it.
Is this a trick question? Seems obvious: any good or service that you buy that can use cheap(er) labor from illegals. Pay $50 to have your grass cut instead of $100. Pay $1/lb for chicken rather than $2. Pay $2 for a head of lettuce instead of $4.

Contridicting your own point, you go on to complain about the hidden taxes on goods you buy. Without illegal labor, there would be a lot more of those--workers comp, liability, health insurance. It's easy to say that illegals cost us anyway when they use the emergency room, etc., but is it the $1800/mo that health insurance for a family costs these days? Not even close.

Public education is paid for by property taxes in most places. Unless you have illegals owning property and not paying their property taxes, they're no more of a burden on the schools than any other renter. (Of course that's a whole different debate, but for now that's the system we're stuck with).

I know this has been covered in other threads about jobs Americans won't do, but just imagine a lazy ass American 20 year old, in a union, bending over picking vegetables. I can't. "I'll have a $10 orange, please."
