What is the effect of illegal immigration on the middle cl, the majority seem to agree that?

It will eliminate those middle income jobs that have not already been lost by transferring most to Asian countries and Mexico. Fortunately, following Venezuela's lead the major countries of South America are not buying into the proposed "Free trade Agreement for the Americas". It's ironic, that illegal immigrants get better health care in the US, than the 45 million working poor who receive none. The labour cl which for the best part is the middle cl are the nation's main tax base. The poor do not pay taxes and the very rich know how to hide their money, off shore etc. The Chinese and Arabs are buying up your real estate and shares in stock and will soon, if not already, will have unprecedented control of your country. The income from Iraqi oil was supposed to offset the cost of that war. This isn't happening, so the US tax payer is footing that bill. Sorry, I'm off subject. It's only the wealthy that can benefit from the illegals, not the nation. Example "Walmart", leads the way. They employ cheap labour, very little if any taxes are being paid, the stock value skyrockets and the rich get richer and the shrinking middle cl will have to pick up the tab with long term increased taxes. Are you aware that Haliburton, the chief exploiting carpet bagging s outfit has relocated to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates primarily to avoid US taxes. Sorry to be so negative but we are headed for some very hard times ahead. Sadly what happens in your country spills over into ours (Canada) very quickly. Good luck and God bless.
