Freedom of BLEEP

Obama will be working to legalize all illegal aliens this year. This will give 12 million illegals an equal opportunity to pursue American jobs, and at a time when we already have millions of Americans looking for jobs. Is this his solution to the economic crisis?

Merely talking about this issue will probably create a huge influx of illegal immigration, making the situation worse than projected. Not only will Obama’s plan make it harder for Americans to find a job, but it will also cause lower wages. Between 1980 and 2000, illegal immigration reduced the annual earnings of US-born workers by an average of 4 percent.

Government expenditures will be an even bigger problem if aliens are legalized. Since illegal immigrants are generally among the lowest wage earners, they will be paying few taxes, if any. Yet they will receive all the benefits of US citizens: social security, health care, public education, and welfare. Not to mention the Obama “tax cuts” for people who don’t pay taxes. Legalizing aliens will be a huge drain on our economy (on top of Obama’s budgeted $9.3 trillion deficit).

And shouldn’t we consider the many individuals who have been waiting years to get into the United States legally? Since when do we reward those who violate the law?

This guy is such a moron I’m not sure where to start.

First of all, if you’re in college and can’t find a better job than McDonald’s after working there for four years, then something is probably wrong. Especially in that part of Florida, where up until recently the economy has been great. In all likelihood, he is either lazy or incompetent (or both). But now he is asking for tax payers to help him out because of his poor decisions and lackadaisical attitude.

But let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and check out how bad the benefits at McDonald’s really are. Full-time restaurant crew at McyD’s get a 401(k), profit sharing, stock shares, medical insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, life insurance, flex accounts, vacation, affiliate discounts, scholarships, a credit union, and those are just a few of the highlights. But lets look closer. Most of the insurance plans have no deductibles or low deductibles. Vision includes contacts and glasses. Plus 401(k) matching: “McDonald’s matches eligible employees’ contributions with $3 for each $1 of the first 1% of pay they contribute, and $1 for each $1 on the next 4% they contribute.”

These aren’t bad benefits… These are amazing benefits. So what else does this guy want? What else could you want? Does he expect to get benefits for working part-time?

This guy is asking for free handouts and Obama said that his work ethic is “the right thing.” What if everyone in America did the bare minimum and then asked for the government to provide for us like Julio? Obama says that’s what we should be doing.
