JOE vs.
JOSE











You have 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.











Jose
Illegal has no documented income and is
eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare.





Jose
Illegal still has
$31,200.00.











Joe
Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month,
or $14,400.00 per year.





Joe
Legal now has 9,631
.00.











Jose
Illegal receives a $500.00 per month
Federal Rent Subsidy.





Jose
Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month,
or $6,000.00 per year. Jose
Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.











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





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?
