Drake Pendragon at SHTF America makes a compelling argument for why it’s time to send illegal aliens back to their home countries. This has nothing to do with race or discrimination, but rather, it’s simple math. The U.S. economy is in shambles. With 35 million Americans out of work, sending the 30 million illegal aliens currently residing north of the Mexico-US border back home will not only create more jobs than $1 trillion in stimulus spending could ever hope for, but will simultaneously increase government tax revenues and reduce government spending by billions of dollars in health care, education, and welfare:
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 $31,200.00 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.

Joe Legal’s children go home.Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.
These Illegals are receiving free emergency medical care at the expense of the American taxpayer who must pay for his own. 45% of all hispanic families in the United States receive some form of government assistance. That is old data. With the current economic reality in the US, where one in six American families receive some sort of government assistance, it is likely that percentage may now be higher. As the Great Recession deepens that percentage will go higher. Funds that are allocated for Illegals health, education, and welfare; are funds that will not be available for medicare and medicaid for seniors, unemployment, and social security for American citizens.
