Do they have to follow our laws? I do understand the theory that the jobs that the illegal immigrants are doing are jobs that the average American would not do, however, does this not cause the salaries of the average American to come down? Are not these salaries factored in to give us a median salary. I have also been working my whole life since I was 15 years old and I do have mixed emotions on this issue. The middle class is now facing no Social Security at 65, & no Medicare.We have been contributing to this our whole life. We watch the elderly not being able to pay for their their medical bills, or even able to pay their taxes to keep their homes. My thought are that we should be helping the elderly and the legal citizen. They also worked and supported the country. What about them. So as you can see I am a very confused citizen.
