There are two families: “Joe Legal” and “Jose Illegal”. Both families have.. two parents, two children, and live in California ..

Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.

Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash “under the table”.

Ready? Now pay attention….

Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.

Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.0 0 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $24,031.00.

Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year… Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare.

Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.

Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.

Jose Illegal says, “We don’t need no stinkin’ insurance!” and still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc..

Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline and what he sends out of the country every month..

Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.

Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

Joe Legal’s and Jose Illegal’s children both attend the same elementary school.

Joe Legal pays for his children’s lunches, while Jose Illegal’s children get a government sponsored lunch.

Jose Illegal’s children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal’s children go home.

Now, when they reach college age, Joe Legal’s kids may not get into a State School and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State Schools through his taxes, while Jose Illegal’s kids “go to the head of the class” because they are a minority.

Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.

Do you get it, now….or let another 10 million come in?

The democrats are already busy flexing their political muscles on two important aspects of our country. The one Pelosi seems very adamant about is making sure that tax payers share the burden of a voluntary ‘medical procedure’ . . . the painful murder of babies in the womb. No matter what each individual feels about abortion, she wants to make sure taxes from our hard-earned incomes go towards, basically, murder. And, the second major topic of the new regime is the government aid still pouring in for people who came to our country illegally. Again, Pelosi and her ilk need and take that from the taxpayers. California talks about free medical for everyone including non-citizens. Did they replant the burned down forests of last year’s horrible fires (again, a good part of which is government’s fault) with sturdy money trees to cover this? Mathematically, this isn’t good math.

Looking over all the happy prospects put forth from the democrats, I don’t see any breaks for the taxpayers. I don’t see any freedom of choice as to where our money goes. And to continue the misery they seem to want to spread, they are adamantly against protecting our border and welcoming in untold numbers of people not properly vetted, many of which have already been proven to be in gangs, felons, and murders. Why does Pelosi, etc., give these people free run of our country while we have to think about security for our homes, protecting ourselves, and dealing with a multitude of other crimes minor and major. A young policeman was recently murdered in cold blood leaving behind a wife and young child. I just read that Facebook closed down a site who labeled the killer as an illegal . . . which he is. Why is it that the politicians that tout socialism and share and share alike have unimaginable stockpiles of ready cash, huge homes, and walls around their mansions?
