Not necessarily, I know a lot of illegals. They are told to put 20 dependents on their W-4 so there is no withholding. A high percentage work for cash. They live 15-25 people in a house, one friend of mine had an empty apartment above one of these groups of illegals he had to rent to, they cut a hole in the ceiling into the vacant apartment and had it packed full of more people. Nearly 100% of the people I know send most of their earnings back to their home countries. Over a dozen of them run shuttles on weekends, bringing illegals from I-10 or El Paso north for around $700-800 a person, not bad cash income for 10 or 12 hombres, plus the drugs they transport. No, most of them who chose to come here illegally have no intention of complying with our civil standards, they are here to make bank and get out in 20 years. For what it's worth, I speak Spanish and I have worked just north of the border in southern Arizona. I have seen some of the ones who died in arroyos. I have seen the arroyos full of empty plastic water bottles and back packs, dirty clothes and deodorant sticks they use to cover their sweat before they hit a mule and blend in with society. I have talked to drug mules who are carrying 80 pounds of pot in to the US to ransom a mother, daughter, wife, sister, aunt from the cartels. No pay, just hope you get it done and get back before they are raped, sold into sex slavery or killed. It isn't a pretty picture. Closing our borders will save their lives. Bulgarian, Swiss, Kiwis and Australian illegals blend in better.
