Not only that but Jose will break his back for that 12 pack of Corona while Joe Legal bitches about how his back hurts and how he is going to go on " workmans compensation", for his pain. > > I am not saying it is ok for illegals to be here. It isn’t. It taxes our economy to no end. HOWEVER, all I am saying, is don’t blame the business man for doing EXACTLY what he is supposed to do. Blame the govn’t for allowing illegals to take advantage of our tax-based systems… HAHAHAAHHAHAH… That’s the most ridiculous I’ve ever read! If you apply the same logic to Jose, then how could you blame him for being illegal and stealing as much from government programs as possible!? It is against the law to hire illegal immigrants. That’s pretty much the end of that arguement. PLUS, when you pay someone under the table it further hurts legitimate workers and the country. Business owners should have a little more pride then just to make a profit! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/joe-legal-vs-jose-illegal/248394)._
