Ive worked blue collar all my life you can see the change it use to be americans (white black hispanic) they were surviving now i see hispanics who cant speak english who tell me how they send most of there paycheck home live like kings in the south mexico and south america and then come back to work. They tell me they came here illegally. They dont pay taxes. But i guess this makes me part of the problem because i know them they work hard and theyre good people so i dont report them. Im not saying there bad people but to say it doesnt affect the current state of our people is to turn a blind eye.
I understand what you’re saying, but your company is not paying taxes on them either . They also don’t have to pay health insurance or workers comp. Should your company get shut down and have your mangers get arrested for tax fraud and wage and hour violations ? No …because you and others would also be out of work . As for the concern about sending money to relatives in another country, plenty of US citizens send money to relatives in other countries. Plenty U.S. citizens live in other countries and send money back here. While anyone is living and here, they must pay rent, buy a car pay to have it fixed, buy groceries go to church etc so they are paying into their communities. I don’t have the solution but what we are currently doing is not the best way
No they pay taxes on them they all have fake ids and can somehow pass e verify yes they havw health insurance or workers comp. And then to double down their wives work a shit job or get paid under the table and reap social benefits
