Living paycheck to paycheck is disturbingly common: ‘I see no way out.’

The cost of living for most of us who own/rent properties is what has changed so much! I completely agree that as much as inflation as we have seen increase over the last 30 years the wages were no where close to being adjusted fairly to keep up.

Ask most people who have some bread how it was a 30 years ago it was much easier to buy property and much cheaper. It is a lot easier to make moves when you have real estate assets and now that is very hard to attain for the average person on a fixed income.

Yep this is true.

Also during my time growing up in chicago and going off to college I worked with illegals. Most times they were paid under the table and no taxes or SSN is taking out of their checks.

The companies knowingly hired them and even paid them less than the american workers. While in college in Mississippi I worked for a large transformer manufacturer who made millions. The they had at least 100 illegals working in my area. They would put them up in trailers and pay them half of what they paid us but gave them unlimited OT (which was straight time).

No taxes or SSN was taken out their check.

Also as a person who now works in mexico for a company. I run into many Mexicans who were illegal in the states working. Basically from what they tell me they get 2 times to be caught in the states and shipped back to mexico. They get caught that 3rd times and they doing some time in a US prison. So most stay they asses in mexico after getting busted that 3rd time.

Seems like there should be some sort of system in place that punishes corporations for hiring undocumented workers. :eat:

Companies do get raided from time to time but they are lower level companies. The company I worked for in Mississippi was raided and had to pay a fine.

But if your war chest is big enough you just pay off politicans and or fund their campaigns with donations and you will never have to deal with this as a company.

575 workers. :hhh:

The fine should have been large enough to cripple them. shyt fines should be significant enough that you shouldn't even think it's a good option.

Should have locked up hiring management and the owners with the workers while they were at it.

Thanks for the link though +rep

No problem homie. The execs got 6 months.

Basically the word on the street in laurel was that some folks dropped a dime on howard. They were so bad hiring illegals that the locals snitched. Since they got to a point they weren't hiring american folks and basically freezing them out.

But it was an open secret. When all the mexicans in one region all work for the same company. Especially in an area of america there are barely any mexicans.

This is the world we live in where unions have been gutted. Blame the blue collar whites who voted against there economic interest because the modern day robber barons evoked God, Race, and fear of communist/terrorist to scare them away from voting for their self-interest.

You know who use to negotiate raises based on the cost of living.......unions.

People don't see it for what it is, but that's what it is.

Trump and these last few years are just the most blatant example of a problem that has been building since Ronald Reagan got elected.

Right. White Americans are probably the dumbest and pettiest people on the planet. These muthaphuckas signed their own death warrant trying to block the black man from making some incremental gain.
Dig a grave for someone make sure you dig two.
Racism is the dumbest thing these demons created.

They don't. Just As you see here. The jobs were given to them by greedy businesses choosing profits over citizens. :ehh:

James is right, an illegal can't take a job from a citizen. It has to be given by a business owner. The problem is that capitalism allows this to be a justifiable practice. Republicans are claiming to fix a problem their very constituents are creating.
