Thread: Illegal Was Making $1200 a Week!!

Those 'undocumented' are actually 'highly documented' with fraudulent documents our government readily accepts.

Wow, now that would be a livable income. I want to make some comparisons here. I know it costs more for housing in the SW, and that is my main focus of comparrison. WE rent, cannot afford to even move out of this not-so-good rental (two bedroom with garage, which we put up a temporary wall in for third bedroom), and we pay $660.00 (it is a duplex). Not sure what it is like for similar rentals in SW? Can anyone tell me if they know?

Ok, so that out of the way, I also realize regions of the U.S., pay for most work can be better. Here, the average retail job pays $9.00 hourly, most fast food never pays more than our minimum, $7.80 hourly), and blue collar warehouse workers, such as my husband, average $12.00 (that is exactly what he makes) hourly.

Personally, making 1200 weekly would allow us to OWN a house here, and also afford to keep food in the cupboards consistently.

Still, that is a nice wage no matter where you live (other than NY city, but we all knew that). Tell me folks, what is it like where you all live right now (wages, housing prices, etc...)?

I would love to have 1200 a week tax free. Here in the east bay, rents are about 1800 for a two bedroom house. the average non college salary here is about 13.00 per hour.

Cayla, 1800 here for a rental, unless it is in downtown Portland, a luxury high rise, is unheard of, well maybe some house rentals. Most of the rentals go for about $800.00 on the average, that is nicer apartments, and we are in what is considred, older affordable, which translates into "slumlord owned".

However, we do have a new landlord, and he has been trying to do more, but to me, it is just not enough and am SO ready to move, back up towards the mountain for me after all these years living in town.

Wow- no professional skills and a tax-free income! Sign me up!

As to the question of living conditions, here in San Jose, since I can't get a "real" job with my degrees, I currently make 22,000/yr (if that) and pay $850/month for a 1 bedroom apt. Actually, everyone says my apt is a great deal so I'm hanging on to it the best that I can. I feel sort of blessed, almost.

He's a contractor most contractors I know were making twice that..
A contractor is a businessman not a laborer! I was making about that much in the late 70's as a contractor. I can just picture the work this clown did after a few years in the business. If you work for someone else you get what they give. If you have a business your income potential is unlimited.

Oh they understand it all right, they just don't want to enforce it. Of course the slime balls are trying to find a way around it. I don't think they realize that they don't need to worry because soon there won't be any illegals to hire.

I'm not surprised that the illegal wife had no job ...this is the greatest snow job ..that so many of them are here just to work hard -- or are working AT ALL!!! ...many of the women do NOT work -- they just stay home and have all the babies they can -- and march right down to our welfare offices to sign up once they get their positive pregnancy results ....

It's easy to see, on a daily basis ..they are in the stores, all day long, during the daytime hours, when the rest of us are AT WORK.

So, that dude making $1500 per week, is no doubt NOT legally m arried either, which allows his "woman" to draw her benefits down at the welfare office. WIC, health care, prenatal care, free delivery, free meds and health care for herself, her kids ...free breast pumps, formula, etc.

So, paying no taxes, siphoning cash from our economy, AND getting free welfare benefits on the dole .... damn, Americans ... our we stupid or WHAT to continue to allow this???? Why the hell do you think the economy is tanking??

These construction industry titans/contractor outfits ought to be HUNG.

FREELOADING SCUM, ALL OF THEM!!!!!

I agree with you ourcountrynot theirs.

If they didn't understand it, they wouldn't have used the court system to try and stop it.

I think it is very interesting that here in AZ all the car dealerships seem to cater to the illegals probably because they are the only ones that can afford a new car right now in this struggling economy. When ever I drive by a dealership all the signs are in spanish and they all seem to be driving really nice cars.

If you or anyone you know needs to buy a vehicle in AZ---go to Rusty Childress. He has been in this fight against the illegals with us for OVER two years!! He is VERY active in this issue. He even has his own website-----

playing devils advocate for a moment, lets pretend that they do not understand it. I will tell them the same thing a traffic cop told me when I was pulled over shortly after I got my license many moons ago.
