Joe Legal and Jose Illegal
« on: November 05, 2009, 08:55:02 AM »
Found this on another site, and thought it was an interesting comparison. Its California specific, but it might apply elsewhere. What do you think?

----
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 per hour 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.


Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and
Local clinics at a cost of $000 per year. Jose Illegal still has
$31,200.00.


Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or
Welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per
Year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.


Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps
And welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.


Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe
Legal now has $9,631.00.


Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose
Illegal pays $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal
Still has $ 31,200.00.


Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for insurance. Joe Legal
Now has $7,231.00.


Jose Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has
$31,200.00.


Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc.


Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities,
Gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month.


Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after
Work.


Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.


Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe
Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get
A government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegal's children have an after
School ESL program. 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.

too true, too true. I am surrounded by 20 something troops who believe they have a right to a bass boat and a 4 x 4 right NOW, when their folks worked a lifetime for it.

I think, however, that that is a separate issue from the issue of illegal immigrant benefits.

If the point is that there is an illegal immigration problem in this country, the post is spot on.  No question about it, the borders are a joke, and the current system in this country is a disaster.  

If the point is that the individual things listed are accurate, I would hope you know that they are not.  Not saying your thought process is bad, but I hate to see misconceptions continued out because of a political ideology.  Facts should not need to be fictional to win a debate.

It doesn't.  That's the point of my post above.  Do you think it's a coincidence that college is spelled wrong though?

Ok, sorry I'm wrong about the free college. 

dukkillr, you caught me with a miss spelled word. Good job!! Must be your lawyer instinct.  Is perfect spelling a requirement here? If it is I'll try to be more careful next time.

1. "Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted.... "Jose Illegal" also works in construction, has "NO" Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".

Response: The email begins with the fallacy that illegal aliens are being paid off the books. According to the 2005 Economic Report of the President, more than “half of undocumented immigrants are believed to be working ‘on the books,’ so they contribute to the tax rolls but are ineligible for almost all Federal public assistance programs and most major joint Federal-state programs.” You can view the report here.



More than half???? So lets say 45% only work off the books.


2. Joe Legal...$25.00 per hour x 40 hours $1000.00 per week, $52,000 per year Now take 30% away for state federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,231.00. Jose Illegal...$15.00 per hour x 40 hours $600.00 per week, $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes... Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.


Response: It is simply false to say illegal aliens do not pay taxes. The IRS collects income tax from all aliens- irrespective of their legal status- who earn income in the United States. Taxes are generally collected through payroll withholdings and submitted tax returns. Some aliens, including undocumented aliens, are not eligible to receive a social security number for work purposes. Nevertheless, if they work, they will accrue federal income tax liability under the IRS code. To facilitate compliance with income tax law, the IRS developed the ITIN. You can read more about ITINs here. As of June 2006, the IRS had issued more than 7 million ITINs. Read more here. The IRS states that the tax return filing compliance rate for ITIN holders is about 75% . Here at page 52. Illegal aliens also pay taxes through payroll withholding with false, fraudulent, or stolen Social Security Numbers. This money is kept by the government in a “suspense file” and not returned to the illegal alien. The Social Security Administration states that these files represented $56.1 billion in earnings and $7 billion in social security payroll taxes.



WOrking with a fraudulent SS number with a large number of deductions listed on your W4 will drop your taxes to nothing until questioned, then it is a matter of obtaining employment under a new fraudulent SS number.


3. Joe Legal pays Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage $1000.00 per month [$12,000.00 per year]. Joe Legal now has $19,231.00. Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.


Response: Ostensibly, the author of this email is referencing Medi-Cal. According to its official government website, “Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program. This is a public health insurance program which provides needed health care services for low-income individuals including families with children, seniors, persons with disabilities, foster care, pregnant women, and low income people with specific diseases such as tuberculosis, breast cancer or HIV/AIDS. Medi-Cal is financed equally by the State and federal government.” Eligibility for this program is based upon income. According to the guidance letter for the California Department of Human Services all aliens (legal or otherwise) must go through a verification process and only aliens lawfully residing in California may receive full benefits. Illegal aliens can only obtain emergency service and some child delivery services. Interestingly, it is quite possible that neither Joe nor Jose could qualify for Medi-Cal because of their



If Jose goes to the hospital and use the afore mentioned false personal information, who will pay the bill?



4. Joe Legal makes too much money is not eligible for Food Stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays for food. $1,000.00 per month [$12,000.00 per year]. Joe Legal now has $ 7,231.00. Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.


Response: Illegal immigrants are not eligible for federal entitlement welfare programs like Food Stamps. Indeed, even legal immigrants are barred from all federal means-tested public benefits for five years by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105 (Aug. 22, 1996) (codified as 8 USC §§1601 et seq.).



Human services is not allowed to question or look into the immigration status of applicants. Remember, Jose has false personal information saying he is a citacen.


5. Joe Legal pays rent. $1,000.00 per month [$12,000.00 per year]. Joe Legal is now in the hole minus (-) $4,769.00. Jose Illegal receives a $500 per month Federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal pays rent. $500.00 per month (section 8 housing). $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $25,200.00.


Response: Unfortunately, this bears repeating. Illegal immigrants are not eligible for Federal welfare benefits like Section 8.



Refer to the answer for number 4.


7. Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored breakfast & lunch, and they also qualify to be "bused to school" at tax payer expense.


Response: According to the USDA Eligibility Manual for School Meals, these types of school lunches are available for children that are: 1) members of a household that gets welfare; 2) enrolled in Head Start because of low income; 3) homeless, 4) migrants; or 5) runaways. We know nothing about Jose’s children given the fact pattern. Assuming however, they were born in the United States, they are U.S. Citizens and, provided they meet the guidelines, they are eligible for such programs. But according to the fact pattern given, neither Joe nor Jose would be eligible for free or reduced school lunches under the latest guidelines. Also, since this fact pattern is in California, it is very likely that any bus services are going to be sharply curtailed because of budget cuts.



Again refer to the answer for number 4.


8. Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children have to find a way to get to school and go home after school as, "latch-key kids" with no adult supervision.

Response: The voters of California approved all types of after-school programs for all children.



Why would Joes kids need ESL classes?


9. Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.


Response: This is false. Joe and Jose paid for these local services through their property, sales, and income taxes. Also, the fact pattern tells us that both Jose and Joe are renters (See No. 5), thus their landlord factored in property taxes into their rent.



Jose is eligable for a property tax refund in some states.


10. Jose Illegal can send most of his money back home to build a new home for retirement, and have money to buy a new truck (and still have Medi-Cal benefits while living in a foreign country; until someone turns him in to authorities....if they ever find out!!) Joe will be lucky if he has any money for retirement, a new vehicle, medical/dental benefits, or a place to live.


Response: According to the Pew Hispanic Center, 21% of unauthorized aliens in the United States are poor. Thus, it does not appear that while Jose is working construction and supporting a wife and two kids that he is building a “retirement home.” Also, as noted above Jose Illegal would not be eligible for full Medi-Cal benefits.



So 79% are not poor!


12. PS: You forgot, Jose illegal's wife claims "single, no head of Household" and collects additional benefits that Joe legal's wife cannot claim. No wonder our country is in trouble!! Think about it!


Response: The fact pattern begins to fall apart with its own distortions. First it claims that Jose does not pay taxes (No. 2), then it claims that “Jose illegal’s [sic] wife” files taxes as “single, no head of Household.” There is no such category. According to the IRS, there are five filing statuses: 1) single, 2) married filing jointly, 3) married filing separately, 4) Head of household; and 5) Qualifying widow(er) with Dependant Child. The Head of Household status usually grants a lower tax rate and higher standard deduction than the single or married filing separately status. Jose’s wife could file as Head of Household- or Joe’s wife for that matter- if they were: 1) unmarried or considered unmarried on the last day of the year; 2) paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for the year; and a 3) “qualifying person” lived with them. If she met the eligibility, then she is lawfully claiming the status. If not, then she would be filing a fraudulent tax return and committing a crime.



And of course, Jose, who ILLEGALLY entered our country and if working on the books has ILLEGAL personal identification Who ILLEGALLY claims 9 dependents on his W4 cares about the law?



http://isaac-project.blogspot.com/    How about we read into every other story on this great source of information. Take a look does it look just a tiny bit slanted?
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Are you just trying to pick a fight?  I mowed lawns to pay for a crappy old jeep and gas in high school.  I also learned that I needed to get good grades, to get a good scholarship, to a good school, because I didn't want to be in that line of work for the rest of my life.  Flame away, I won't apologize for working hard to find a job where I can use my brain and have a secure future for myself and my family.

That, of course, has no bearing on the accuracy of the initial post.

Billy, Having some experience and knowledge of the illegal situation in California I'd say the post is fairly accurate.  Few illegals there pay any taxes; most are picked daily from various sites wwhere they hang out looking for work. This is also true to a large extent here in Texas especially in the construction and agricultural business.  Of course, I think it depends largely on where they are located and WHO they work for.  Most employers are gun shy and try to stick as close to the rules as they can to prevent big fines from government, but even those illegals that are paying taxes are likely using a fake SS.

I most assuredly AM NOT.  What do I need to say?  "I think we should put all mexicans on a boat and nuke it?"  "We should make all illegal immigrants listen to Celine Dion sing the French national anthem?"  "I think we should use illegal border crossers for target practice with the unmanned drones!"  You're simply making things up and claiming I believe them.  Please read what I said.  I am not supporting any type of illegal immigration or individual immigrants.  What I am saying is that the facts are wrong but the sentiment is right.  Do you not understand what I wrote or did you chose not to read it?  I can quote myself if you need. 

Don't just assign me opinions so you can argue with them.  Like most around here, I'm more than capable of putting forth my own opinions, and I don't need you to do it for me.

I knew that too :)

I actually feel very strongly about this type of thing.  I believe that making false claims ultimately hurts your argument.  It's like when Glenn Beck said there were no detention camps and we have real things to worry about.  In this case there are god's plenty of reasons to be concerned about illegal immigration and the problems it brings to this country.  Unemployment, drug smuggling, the risk of terrorism, local crime, etc...

But let's say you're thinking about this issue and you see that post.  If you have 8 brain cells you know some of those claims are false.  Maybe that sets off all kinds of alarms in your head thinking, "Geez these guys need to lie to try and make their point!  I wonder if they don't have actual facts to support them?"

As I said before, "Facts should not need to be fictional to win a debate."

Hmmm, although there is a report disclaiming the email, that does not ensure the report is accurate.  There are reports that the Roswell incident was, and was not, an alien space ship.  I did a book report in elementary school that said I read the book, but since I made up everything including the title that doesn't make that report accurate either.

I can say that living in Southern Nevada, dealing with illegal immigrants while I am working, knowing people who work along side illegal immigrants, knowing teachers who teach the children of illegal immigrants, knowing medical professionals who provide medical care for illegal immigrants in the hospitals, knowing medical administrators who know they will never get paid for providing medical care to illegal immigrants, I tend to believe the information in that email.

When you have 3 or 4 families (extended families of grand parents,parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc) in one house with bunk beds and matresses on the floor it is obvious that $1200.00 rent split 5 or 6 ways is not much of a burden and allows the money to go even further.  They don't show any income and the schools are not allowed to check any information on the free lunch application forms that they give out to every kid at the beginning of the school year, so the not only get free lunch, they get free breakfast and if they are in Safe Key at the school they get free after school snacks.

When, or more likely if they get arrested they our let out of jail on their Own Recognizance ( no bail fee) and after they fail to appear for court they buy a new fake ID to avoid future arrest on the warrant.  Buying a cheap used car they can drive it without insurance or registration until it gets impounded at which time they buy another cheap used car because it is cheaper than registration, insurance and towing fees.

The email information is accurate.  Dollar amounts are examples and will vary from person to person.  Not every family will have to go to the emergency room, but the example is with in reason.  Not evryone will have a fake social security number, some just don't worry about getting one and work strictly for cash.

There are some illegal immigrants who try to follow most laws.  There are illegal immigrants from other countries as well, like every country in Asia, who may work in restaurants, salons, or other service type places.  The problem is there, people just have to want to see the problem and beleive that it is actually a problem.

I'm not really sure that websight really disputed the original post. Well it did dispute it but I think DUKK said it well when he said "Facts should not need to be fictional to win a debate". If you look into most of the "facts" in this reply to the email from an obviously slanted websight. You see they are not "facts" but fiction as well.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

The important point, as I see it, is that illegal aliens shouldn't be making ANY money here. Everything else is just nuance.

Many illegals do use fake ID to get work FACT !
Many claim 14 dependents and at age 22-24 that's a feat FACT also .
It takes a couple years for SS to send a request for proof of citizenship and then we have to give them time to produce it ( or time to escape ) by law  FACT . And this is after we checked with them at time of hire to protect our company.
I have had them call back after a few years using a "new" name and want a job , going so far as to say you might remember me as ----- FACT.
Many of them live 20-30 in an apartment , sleeping on the floor . They save all their money so they can go home and live an easy life . I know this because they tell me this .
They are here to take all they can and then go home  , the exact numbers might not be stated as to take home pay but to think it does not happen is pure foolishness on our part .
 These are some of the abuse i have seen first hand .

How bad is the system - well 2 such men wanted to stay , We got a lawyer who had worked for INS and he took one look at the fake ID and to them where they got then , in AZ , MA , and NY . He told them the name of the guys who made them . We called INS and was told we could not work them , this was 8 years ago and now one is still here running his own backhoe service and still not a US citizen .

Some liberty may have been taken by some of the posters but they aren't far off from my experince .

BTW if my spelling is off deal with it , while ya'll were getting educated i was building the buildings that keeps your azz dry and safe .
If ya can see it ya can hit it !
