I worked for $3.35 an hour for what seemed like forever before I got a raise that put me at $5.00 an hour. Man I thought I had it made! I was single, living at home and all of that money was mine to do with how I pleased. Then I graduated from high school, got married and joined the Army and she spent that money faster than I could make it.

One of my best employees is an Albanian immigrant. She came to the US at age 16 with nothing and is now a US citizen living the American dream. She is hard-working and has zero sympathy for the "I want something for nothing" types. So I made her HR manager. She culls them faster than a high fence hunter on Outdoor Channel.

$15/hr = 31k/yr
$10k/yr just to educate kids (+ infrastructure, etc)
How much of that $31k is being paid in state taxes, including what you are paying?
Lets say that their wives work and they make $50k together and they pay 20% state taxes = 10k/yr
If they have 1 kid/employee on average then you are taking money from every person in the state just for educating their family.
Just another perspective. You get a good employee and everyone else in the state pays for that employee.

Huh? I really didn't follow you here? If you're saying that a couple paying $10k/yr in taxes is actually not covering the cost of a single child's education, that's false. Employers contribute almost the same amount per employee , so that's actually 20k a year taken from their pay.

The Mexican Maid
The Mexican maid asked the wife of her anglo employer for a pay increase. The wife was very upset about this, and decided to talk to her about the raise. She asked: "Now Maria, why do you want a pay increase?"
Maria: "Well, Señora, there are tree reasons why I wanna increaze."
"The first is that I iron better than you."
Wife: "Who said you iron better than me?"
Maria: "Jor huzban he say so."
Wife: "Oh yeah?"
Maria: "The second reason eez that I am a better cook than you."
Wife: "Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than me?"
Maria: "Jor hozban did."
Wife, increasingly agitated: "Oh he did, did he?"
Maria: "The third reason is that I am better at sex than you in the bed."
Wife, really boiling now and through gritted teeth.
Wife: "And did my husband say that as well?"
Maria: "No Señora....the gardener did."
Wife: "So, how much do you want?"

Apples to oranges. While I won't make excuses for anyone being lazy, you can't compare what an immigrant from Mexico will work for and what someone raised in this countries nanny state will work for. The average wage in Mexico is about 2.50 per day. One man working here and sending money home can support an entire extended family over there. Imagine moving to a country where you make the same amount in a day you make in a month here. I would guess you would be very grateful for that job. Not to mention if your child is born here its like hitting the lottery with free education even to include college in some states and food, housing, and health care. X2

Most of education funding locally come from property tax, the only taxes your employer is splitting with you is social security. Entitlements are coming out of your pocket, businesses just raise prices to offset tax liability. $15/hr = 31k/yr
$10k/yr just to educate kids (+ infrastructure, etc)
How much of that $31k is being paid in state taxes, including what you are paying?
Lets say that their wives work and they make $50k together and they pay 20% state taxes = 10k/yr
If they have 1 kid/employee on average then you are taking money from every person in the state just for educating their family.

Most Mexican worker groups I've had the pleasure of knowing and spending time with are fiercely loyal and hard working. And I've never heard about a Mexican crossing himself, then screaming "Sanctus Sanctus Dominus" and start killing everyone with an AK.

Y'all keep singing the praises of the brown man. What y'all forget is, the only reason y'all are still company owners. Is because they couldn't box your company up and ship it down south. Sure they work hard now, but when the first generation has kids. Them kids will eventually chill out, and probably end up being supported by the gov, while breeding like rabbits. Look at California, they took over Compton.
