Ive never worked in a carpet mill, but im guessing that the company is paying $15/hr because the work deserves it, not just because they like to cut profits. So if they make big "bank" its because they deserve it and have earned it, just like any legal white worker.



That's just it, they haven't earned it. They came here illegaly and refuse to play by the rules.

You also made some very big generalizations, you said that all or most of those workers all get on welfare, have kids that get free school food, get used clothing from churches/missions, get free or cheap food from churches/missions, and basically dont spend any money in the local economy. People do go out to eat, they do buy food from grocery stores (if you know anything about these churches, they have very little inventory and dont give too much out), they buy clothes from walmart or the mall (not everyone has a complete closet full of used clothes), and waste money for the same things you and I do.



They weren't generalizations they were valid personal experiences from things I have seen with my own eyes and people that I KNOW and in some cases are friends with. The churches that I speak of actually have enormous stockpiles of non-perishable goods and a clothing shop the size of most retail shops (think AE or the GAP).

Quote:

I wouldnt consider them a complete drain, especially when they earn the money, money they can use any way they see fit, just like we do.


Money they don't pay taxes on and send the majority of out of the country to run somebody elses economy.
