Landscapers Find Workers Choosing Jobless Pay

[Dr. Shane]

Yes, we pay less for our goods and service that we purchase. That means we pay less sales tax. Those that are here illegally use stolen Social Security numbers which means they do not file taxes at the end of the year. That means there is more money left in the federal and state treasuries because they don't get back any of the money withheld from their paychecks. That includes all the Social Security withholdings and the employer match.

If I didn't think you were serious I'd think you were Ann Coulter.

Even if any of these "advantages" were true, you are planning to do away with them.

[Dr. Shane]

I wouldn't want to do away with them but I bet the way the politicians would write the law, they would. I would have guest workers come here and pay into our system but their withholdings would stay with the US Treasury when they returned to their country of origin once their two-year visa expired.
