Each year, families and individuals pay taxes to the government and receive back a wide variety of services and benefits. When the benefits and services received by one group exceed the taxes paid, a distributional deficit occurs, and other groups must pay for the services and benefits of the group in deficit. Each year, government is involved in a large-scale transfer of resources between different social groups.
This paper provides a fiscal distribution analysis of households headed by immigrants without a high school diploma. The report refers to these households as "low-skill immigrant households." In fiscal year (FY) 2004 there were around 4.5 million low-skill immigrant households in the United States, containing 15.9 million persons, roughly 5 percent of the U.S. population. About 60 percent of these low-skill immigrant households were headed by legal immigrants and 40 percent by illegal immigrants
The analysis measures the total benefits and services received by these "low-skill immigrant households" com*pared to the total taxes paid. The difference between benefits received and taxes paid represents the total resources transferred by government on behalf of this group from the rest of society.
In FY 2004, federal, state, and local expenditures combined amounted to $3.75 trillion. Government expendi*tures can be divided into six categories:
On the other hand, what if there was not enough low skilled poorly educated people out there who are able and willing to accept the millions of dirty jobs that need to be done? If there is no one to clean, cook, landscape or paint our places of businesses, what would be the cost to our society and economy.
I know few college educated people who want to work in these jobs.

That's the very reason the large corporations (and mom and pops as well) are all gung-ho about bringing in illegal aliens. Who do you think did all of these jobs before the country was flooded by illegal aliens Dingler? Kids in high school, kids going to college, people who weren't fortunate enough to graduate high school or college, and regular working Joes that preferred manual labor over the corporate life, that's who.
This is the same old, tired argument we hear time and time again. The age old adage "They perform the jobs Americans won't do."
That's pure bull. Americans will do those jobs if they are paid enough to perform those jobs where they can at least survive. Americans and most legal residents don't want to live 20 people to a house in order to live off of slave wages.
We're creating an underclass in America, and it's turning this country into a country of the rich, and the poor. The middle class is going away and a large percentage of the middle class today survives paycheck to paycheck. One of the things that made America so different from most of the world over the last many decades has been the middle class - a middle class that is slowly disappearing due to corporations outsourcing for cheap wages and when that's not feasible, they import the ready-made serfs from Mexico, Latin America, or wherever else they can bring them in from.
BTW, what do you think will happen to those oh-so-low wages and cheap vegetables that you love once these people are granted amnesty? They'll form unions and negotiate for more money; wages will go up and the corporations will lobby for even more illegal aliens to come into this country to take their place. That's great, another 20 million and 20 million after that, until there's nothing left that even resembles America of the past, which is exactly what all of these illegal alien supporters want.
