RE: RE: LET'S SAY I BROKE INTO YOUR HOUSE...

...which begs the question -— who'’s counting on Social Security funds?

Not me, and I'm closer than any of you. My last socialist security statement told me I would get something like $1,100 a month. Yeah, right, in a pig's eye.

Attention affected homeowners! Immediately lock your doors and build a fence...

Isn't that a good idea anyway? Don't most people already do that?

...then stop worrying about making your bed, washing the dishes, doing the laundry, sweeping the floors, or doing the yard work anymore!

OK, but the point was that the homeowner didn't ask the intruder to do those things. The intruder assumed they were wanted. The metaphor holds, because illegal aliens compete with the lowest income tiers. The propaganda about those jobs being ones no one wants is founded in the elitist notion that most of the middle class finds cleaning toilets detestable and is, therefore sympathetic to the idea. Furthermore, there is an implicit (and false) assumption in that propaganda that if the illegals didn't do those jobs, no one would. Those wanting the work done would eventually pay enough to get someone to do it. That is hampered by the fact that the government pays people to avoid those jobs, so the real issue is not that Mexicans will take the nasty jobs, the real issue is that the government subsidizes Mexicans taking those jobs at below-market prices.
