    Actually, it is possible small company they will hire on 1099, by the time the IRS catch with them down the line three to four years. They would have accomplish what they're here to do. Before irs catch up> airplane ticket back home. Maybe the company don't care about reporting to the IRS. . Cashpay

    NowI've been driving for less than 2 years and I've been looking around . Most drivers on the road seem to act exactly the same way, soon as I get close to passing them they would either get in your lanes block you from going and then slow down or start shivering all over the road lol what the heck is going on? Is like trucking attract low-hanging fruit of society homicidal maniac and lunatic psychopath :) and when it comes to backing into the docks 99% of the time I do as good as anyone .

    There are Millions of illegal people there Already working , and paying taxes doing lots of jobs Americans wouldn’t do , the Bottom line is without these people the American Economy would suffer not everyone wants to work in feedlots, dairy farms, picking fruit, warehousing ,washing dishes, flipping burgers, washing dishes, most of there are manual unskilled jobs that many American citizens wouldn’t do .

    anyone who tells you that immigration doesn’t have any negative effects doesn’t understand how it really works. When the supply of workers goes up, the price that firms have to pay to hire workers goes down
    The monetary loss is sizable. The typical high school dropout earns about $25,000 annually. According to census data, immigrants admitted in the past two decades lacking a high school diploma have increased the size of the low-skilled workforce by roughly 25 percent.

    Average immigrant household received around $34,721 in government benefits and services while paying some $2,34 in taxes. This generated an average annual fiscal deficit (benefits received minus taxes paid. This cost had to be borne by U.S. taxpayers... Under current law, all unlawful immigrant households together have an aggregate annual deficit of around $74.5 billion.
    Undocumented immigration costs U.S. taxpayers about $213 billion a year at the federal, state ad local level… The annual outlay that illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers is an average amount per native-headed household of $61,117... Education for the children of illegal aliens constitutes the single largest cost to taxpayers, at an annual price tag of nearly $142 billion...

    No the illegals are not paying taxes. Got no problem with a legal immigrants. Illegals should be sent home, and let them get legal at home then reenter.

    Hi
    People routinely look the other way while employers pay illegal aliens low wages to work grueling hours in unsafe conditions. Some argue that illegals do work that Americans won't do, but the fact is that illegals do work that American's can't do because Americans must adhere to minimum wage and labor laws. Illegals don't have to. This is the 21st century equivalent to slavery.

    When cheap labor dominates the market, overall wages naturally go down. When wages go down, American workers are harmed. And when American workers are harmed, the poor are always the first hit. In a free market, helping illegal families harms legal families.:)

    I applaud you sir. Such conviction while using false and misleading information is difficult to achieve.
    If I agreed with you and your numbers then we both would be wrong.

    Immigration is a good thing because it brings highly motivated, risk taking, ambitious people who are intelligent above average for the country that they come from.

    But when it comes to truck drivers fresh off the boat, this is somewhat problematic due to their lack of USA experience in general. Especially when they "buy" a CDL without proper training.
