It's obvious to the most casual observer, that Texas knows that Illegals are an economic losing proposition. Texas has experienced Biden and Obama voters crossing the border for years and they understand that it's a loser for them. If it was a winner for Texas, Texas would support this stupidity.

Take all of the first and second generation Latino immigrants out of the Texas labor force and that state would collapse in about 2 weeks.

Take the two remaining functioning brain cells out of PJ head and you would have a vegetable.

And I bet I'd still beat you on an IQ test.

And of course you know and knew when you posted this that such a "bet" and a test would never happen - in reality, this is just another of your smart assed replys that you are known for.

Also, immigrant/temporary workers pay FAR more into the US Treasury than they take out (for instance, how many will even collect Medicare or Social Security?).
Not if they get paid in cash. Their children get a free education, get additional educational services if needed, free medical care. If one wants to immigrate into the country, do it legally, not in the back of a truck or swimming.
We know that a completely "open border" policy would work (and no, conservitards, we don't have that now). How? Look at the EU
Another false statement. In order to enter the EU from outside the EU, one needs a passport
In 2015, Hungary built a border barrier on its border with Serbia and Croatia. The fence was constructed during the European migrant crisis (see timeline), with the aim to ensure border security by preventing illegal immigrants from entering, and enabling the option to enter through official checkpoints and claim asylum in Hungary in accordance with international and European law.The number of illegal entries to Hungary declined greatly after the barrier was finished as it effectively abolished the entry to Hungary.[
If they get paid in cash, the employer is committing a crime.
That's why it happens very rarely. By saving a few bucks on taxes, an employer could lose his business AND go to prison.
Sorta like the trillions of episodes of voter fraud. Committing multiple felonies for very little return. Doesn't happen often enough to worry about.

David, you've already proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that PJ is much, much smarter than you. He makes reasoned arguments. You post rants and scream at people and call them liars. All you can do is repeat your stupid self and make the same widdle speeches over and over.
Plus, your spelling, grammar, and vocabulary skills would embarrass a fourth grader.
None of this has anything to do with ideological differences. You're just not very bright. And screaming at me and calling me a liar won't change that one tiny bit.

Once again, "Liz" Lewis lied.

Here is info on the underground economy.
The underground economy is called the shadow economy, the black market, or the informal economy. While estimates vary, some put the underground economy at 11% to 12% of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), or roughly $2.25 trillion to $2.5 trillion
A major component of the underground economy are cash-intensive businesses such as liquor and convenience stores, beauty salons, restaurants, taxis, landscaping, construction, domestic work, and small food establishments
One would think kevin with his his background in economics, taxation & cpa would actually know this
