Illegals Taking Teen Summer Jobs
A study was done(related article here)at Northeastern University that showed teen summer employment has dropped 36.7% this summer, the biggest drop since studies began in 1948.
The report attributed much of the drop due to businesses hiring immigrants, of which at least 50% are illegal. Increasingly, businesses are paying these immigrants off the book, thereby saving in taxes, workers compensation & other benefits.
Andrew Sum, the director of the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University, said more business owners interviewed as part of his research indicate that they are adding immigrant workers to their payrolls for the April through November period. "By the time kids get out of school on vacation, it's too late," he said. "The jobs are filled."
Typically, he said, for every 10 immigrants hired by construction and landscaping firms, two are put on the books as eligible for workers' compensation. If one of the illegal workers gets injured, he said, employers often "flip" that worker into a job slot filled by a covered worker, who then goes off the books.
Businesses are perhaps the biggest factor in adding to the illegal immigration mess we have. If they didn't hire illegals then there would be less impetus for illegals to come to Los Estados Unidos. But businesses put profit over patriotism. They cheat the government with less tax dollars, as well as have an unfair financial edge against competitors who do play by the rules. In the process, the American teen is losing out.
The pathetic thing about this whole affair is that two years ago only 40 businesses nationwide were cited for hiring illegals. As if it couldn't get any worse, last year only 3 businesses were cited!
The Congress & the President have been dismal failures in protecting Americans from the immigrant invasion. The scope of their non-feasance is appalling. They are traitors to every American citizen.

Geesh - I got an 18 yr old wannabe porn star surfing thru. I know she's not bright enuf to read the post - she just looks at the pictures. Go away little girl.
One would think that the Democrats would be all over this, since they are so fond of blaming business in America for most of America's problems.
But then again, they are all for the illegal immigrants right to hold jobs here.
Maybe they just can't decide which side to take here so they just don't say amything and hope it will just go away.
The Dems have mixed emotions about this - like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in you brand new Mercedes. By rapping business, they are also hurting their potential voting block - like you said.
This is a great blog theme and deserves a lot more attention. Lou Dobbs is the only one in the MSM that even talks about illegal immigration. I have lived in Texas and New Mexico all of my life and know what illegal immigration can do to communities. Now, anywhere you go in this country you can see the same impact.
Both the Democrats and Republicans have ignored this issue in pursuit of potential new voters and keeping business costs low. The losers are the City and State governments and the citizens of the dwindling middle class.
I am going to read the rest of your posts but I wanted to stop and tell you that you are doing great work. You’re a talented writer by the way.
