Does anyone know where I can find a study or some research on the negative effects our country receives from allowing illegal immigrants to send billions and billions of dollars outside the country annually? Surely, removing all those billion from circulation here in the U.S. has a huge impact, it has too. Personally, I suspect all of those missing billions is what is fueling corporate Americas need for cheap labor (to some degree anyway). Is it possible that the illegals are creating their own market? Doesn't it seem like the more of them there are - the higher the demand for cheap labor? In other words, the companies and businesses are absorbing these illegals for the sake of growth and profit. For example, let's picture a country without illegals. Let's say you have Joe the landscaper who has 4 employees earning a wage of $10.00 an hour. Further, those same employees are receiving medical & dental insurance, and 14 days of payed vacation a year. Now in marches the illegals. Joe thinks wow, now I can hire twice as many illegal (maybe three times as many) at $6.00 an hour and offer no benefits. By doing this, Joe has effectively grown his business to twice its size, which means his company can do twice the business. Now Joe is making twice the amount of money he was making originally with the same (or less) financial outlay than he was required to pay when he had the four American workers. Additionally, many of these illegal workers are attempting to live on very little (circulate few bucks into our economy), because they send large chunks of their money home. Anyone see any chinks in my way of thinking? If I'm correct, it is easy to see why corporate America loves cheap labor! Also, with the amount of money they're sending home weekly, monthly, and annually, it is easy to see why we are subsidizing corporate Americas cheap labor and the illegal needs. Who do you think ends up paying many of the non-payed medical bills (through increased costs and insurance premiums), feeding their children in school, educating their children, etc.

It goes without saying that Joe now has a large pleasure boat, a bigger house, two or more luxuary cars, and is sending his kids to better colleges. We won't even talking about his private investments. Joe has done all this at the expense of us whom subsidize his employees survival needs, because they don't won't to spend their money in OUR economy. I'm sure we've all heard the stories about 15 of them living in one house, sometimes even in one room, accepting government donations of food, standing in soup lines, having babies (at no cost) in our hospitals, free emergency medical care, making the free school lunch their childrens healthiest meal of the day, etc. The anchor babies are receiving food stamps, free medical and dental care, WIC, etc. (payed for by our tax dollars).

Joe is the enemy!

Sorry for all the ranting, but I would honestly like to know the answers to my first few questions. Thanks.
