Just for the record, undocumented workers DO pay into the system, just
like any other worker here in the usa (except "under the table" workers)
they just don't get to collect many benefits.
Ooooh, this topic of so-called "free loaders" gets me all steamed under
the gills because it's such a crock...when we look around we can see who
the real free loaders are....and they all the folks the media is always
harping about, it ain't migrant workers, documented or not, it ain't
welfare recipients, it ain't your average farmer, it ain't....but darnit
it ain't too on topic for sanet so I'll shut my trap.
