This has got to be one of the silliest pieces ever on PJ Media..an argument in favor of massive illegal immigration justified by poor waiter service at Chipotle. Dear misinformed, those illegal workers are costing taxpayers billions annually. Who do you think pays for the education, welfare, health services and other social costs? You think Chipotle or other scoff-law employers are paying for it? And what happens to all those millions of US citizens or legal immigrants displaced from these jobs or whose wages are otherwise depressed?
The erosion of the rule of law is a factor, an important one at that, when reviewing the negative costs of illegal immigration. But so is the economic factor. Illegal immigration is social engineering of the most pernicious kind, because it constitutes a massive transfer of wealth from US taxpayers to employers of cheap illegal labor. The scoff-law businesses reap all the profit while the taxpayers are stuck with all the cost.
Perhaps our esteemed misinformed blogger should spend less time fretting at the fast food window and more time concerned about the fate of his country.
