Re: Pesky immigrants, they're taking all our jobs
People miss the point that these people spend all day working to get the 24k, live in a house with umpteen others doing paying little rent and save every penny that they make.... fine you might say, but the amount they actually spend in this country to help the economy is very minimal. Most of the money is saved up and then flows out of the country after a couple of years when they can't stand the work any more. So we have a net loss to the economy. They don't spend much while here, use the local services and then cash out on their way home.

You could compare it to someone who walks into a Las Vegas casino, enjoys the free food and drink, does one bet, wins and walks out.
