If I recall what I have seen, you don't live where there are any number of illegals that could bet termed other than almost non existent, so I guess that is why you haven't a clue to what illegals demand to be payed tax free I might add.
80,000 non existent illegals in WI. 1.3% of the population.

No, we don't need any more damn illegal immigrant low wage earners that have almost completely eliminated the stater jobs of our teenagers. We have illegals and illiterates that have taken almost all those jobs and then cry that they can't raise a family on minimum wage working a job at a skill level that was never meant to do more than train new entries into the job market while putting a little cash in their pockets.
Teenagers don't work jobs. They have after school activities. Most businesses would gladly hire a legal worker at minimum wage for jobs illiterate illegals can perform. It's not here yet but technology will eliminate many service jobs eventually.
My bank has a ATM- no bank teller
My grocer has a self checkout line - no bagboy or cashier
McDonalds has a order kiosk - no cashier
Little Caesers has a machine that makes pizzas nearly start to finish - no food preparers
Nearly every fast food or chain restaurant have phone apps to order and pay for food - fewer waitress's and hosts
Bookstores, parts stores, clothing stores, and more are being replace by the internet - fewer construction workers to build stores almost no employees to sell, maintain, or display products.
This is going to be a big problem in our service economy. With the exception of bagboys and construction workers these service workers need to speak English. Their jobs are disappearing.
Service areas that don't require literacy are construction, food prep, janitorial, and some auto repair.
Me, speaking for myself only, am fed up with not being able to be understood or understand a freaking counter person at a fast food restaurant., and I ran fast food and food operations for twenty five years. I experienced personally the transition from housewives and teens to almost all Hispanic as our teens were told by almost everyone that fast food was trash work.
In 1996 President Clinton and the GOP Congress passed sweeping changes to AFDC, influenced by WI Governor Tommy Thompson's Welfare to Work or W2 program. Gov Thompson's W2 program required you actually had to have a job to receive assistance from the state. Around that time I worked for a telemarketing company. They hired a fat welfare mom because she was black and it helped protect them from a racial discrimination suit after she would inevitably be fired. The job was easy. A computer screen provided name and address as well as other information. A script to read was provided and any moron that could read could return to work the next day and even make a marginally better wage than minimum...and while sitting in air-conditioned comfort and reading what ever between calls. A special magnifying screen was built because she claimed sight problems and President Bush(41) passed a disability law.
I have never laughed as heartily as the moment she took her first call and said...
Hello. Is 'w' 'i' 'l' 'l' 'i' 'a' 'm' at home? I mean she literally spelled out the name William.
Business will not build special monitors and teach Americans to read. They will eliminate the low skill jobs with tech, and if they still can't find labor in a 4% unemployed economy they will eliminate expansion and let foreign markets take up the slack.
I believe a high percentage of that 4% are drug addicts, violent criminals, people with poor work attendance or hygiene, and Trump voters. If I owned a business I might prefer to employ a better than average illegal if I could get away with it.
I also worked construction for fifteen years and saw the Hispanic influence take hold. My SIL is a foreman for a large contractor putting up those large multi use high rises in Los Angeles so I hear about what is still going on.
There is no doubt about it. Americans pound nails better than Mexicans./ sarc
So to put it bluntly, I don't believe you have any idea what your pushing.
You sound like my Mom.
I got to say I enjoyed your reply. It was substantive, clear, and provocative without being personally insulting. I hope my reply lives up to that standard. Thank you for taking the time to help me understand your point of view.
