Hmm, I only skimmed that but I don't recall seeing it criticize the rich US citizen job-creator that decided to hire Juan Illegal instead of John Legal. Can't we all just agree to stop hiring illegal immigrants? Come on...we can do this. It just requires teamwork and putting the good of the country over your own short-term gains. Oh wait, that's why it doesn't work.
It also ignores the numerous taxes illegal immigrants do pay other than income and payroll taxes (though most do pay those). But it isn't the first horribly inaccurate meme/graphic on here, and it won't be the last.

And a host of others. Even if they rent they are indirectly paying property tax.

Harley, I'm pretty sure that Juan Illegal's children won't "go to the head of the class" because they are brown. And they won't be handed scholarships etc. either, unless they have done well in school.
Johnny legals kids need to stop whining and start studying. Shame on John for teaching his children to blame brown people for their lack of drive.

Every under the table employee ive ever met wasnt paying income or payroll tax. This is the issue. Put them on the books. Issue solved.
Imo very accurate.

If you are president does your request for paid foreign labor waiver go to the top of the pile? Looking for people to pick my wine grapes and work the kitchen/hotel at my golf resorts?

Most illegals I know in my neck of the woods aren't paid under the table.
