McDonalds to hire 50,000 workers in one day

[sequoias]

I am betting it is more common than people are willing to admit.

We had total of 9 people living in a 2 bedroom apt last year...4 people lived here for temporary.

I fully understand why you would think of them as being the polar opposite of an asset. Yes, they take your jobs and use your services. They are, however, an asset to your economy. This is fact. Legal immigrants would receive the same rights as you do; this means equal pay. Equality with regards to their salaries could translate to more expensive workers. This means that you would have to pay more for certain goods and services (inflation).

Not a fact at all. There is no "right to equal pay" here. also illegals are not always paid less, that is a myth. I have seen many illegal framers making $20/hr. Depending on where you live public school runs between $15,000-25,000 PER STUDENT! Even if we were underpaying every illegal alien the $2/hr savings would not add up to enough to educate their children, much less all the other social programs.

No problem with that....It is a way to save money during tough times....Merely disputing the myth that illegals are helping the economy.

It is not uncommon to see 4-5 illegals living in a single bedroom apartment. Only one listed as an actual occupant, the others are just 'friends staying the night'. It's also not uncommon to see an illegal immigrant get a small 2-3 bedroom rent house and you find 10-15 people living in the house. Because they are illegal workers / non-citizen they are not required to pay income taxes. As I said earlier the only taxes they are concerned with is sales tax and property tax (if they own any property).

I know this because I was an enumerator for the US Census Bureau - I saw houses where children would answer the door and there would be 2-3 mattresses in what's supposed to be the living room where it was obvious people had been sleeping/living there for a long time. You ask them how many people are in their household and an adult would shoo the child away and quickly close the front door and say "4".

Not all hispanics live like this but a lot of illegals do. They do this because then they can send a good chunk of their wages back home so that their families can have something to live on as well as save money to send another family member up legally as a documented worker - this person gets in the U.S. legally and is given a VISA and is allowed to work but they are restricted on international travel beyond the United States - however they can return to their home country whenever they feel, but they will have to start the entire legal re-entry process all over again because once you leave this country the work visa expires.

Yup, that how amazing is LA population to hit nearly to 4 millions and many cheap apartments are too way overcrowded so very hard to find it.

Yeah, of course. ugh at the illegals stealing our jobs, stealing our roads, not paying taxes for our needs, etc.

 

[Foxrac]

Yeah it is too much trouble to deport. The best way is to make it impossible for them to work here by cracking down on the illegals AND the people that hire them. Cracking down on people that rent to them would be a great start too.

Yup, I don't mind to cracking illegal immigrants in workplace but I do have mixed feeling about residential, including apartments and there was ICE raid in trailers that where many illegal immigrants live in.

It's already hit 4 million in Los Angeles in 2010 Census. I'm pretty sure it's more than 4 million in Los Angeles since not counting the illegals.

Ouch, already running out of hot water?

I used to sleep with couple of relatives in one bedroom condo for winter vacation in FL and had slept on cheap, hard sofa bed that I haven't sleep in this shit for over 20 years. When I went in shower but hot waters already ran out in 15 minutes so I found out that heater tank is too small and feel like damned.

Yup, I guess but wiki said 3,792,621 in 2010 so I'm not sure if it was official. You are right about include illegal immigrants in population will move LA to ahead 4 millions.

Yep, we ran out of hot water often here, ugh. This piece of shit apartment water boiler sucks.

Ohhh, my bad.

Ouch, we had heater tank failure in last few weeks ago and had bath in cold shower for one day before we got new heater tank installed so more hot waters now and working so great. Our old heater tank was cheap builder grade and our HOA told me that most houses have heater tank failure in 5 years.

No doubt....they might even move it over 5 million

Maybe the renters in house and apartments are not illegals but they welcome over their illegal friends or relatives to live with them. That might happen. At a workplace, that's inexcusable since HR will hires illegals while the law don't allow hiring illegals at a workplace. I know they want to save money by paying less to immigrants who think it's lot of money compared to where they used to live.

You have to crack down on both equally. If you crack down on employment but not residential.....you just created a criminal. Gotta get the money for rent somehow,

I believe the federal minimum wage for non-citizens is around $5-6 now. It was $4.15 up until the most recent cost of living raise.

Yup, that why I left LA in 2006 after impossible to find work at minimum wage and every jobs were filled at no time.

Ok, sure, go ahead and I believe that ICE did in some cases right now but probably not enough. In some counties, sheriff will go to apartment and ask them for proof of citizenship or green card if they are legal immigrant or not.

It's $7.25 minimum wage here in Iowa but I'm pretty sure the illegals here in Iowa are making around $5-6 a hour or so. The hispanic population boomed here from 2000 to 2010.
