Easy to claim, hell of a lot harder to actually substantiate that claim.

They arent, most obviously with teachers, as I said.

Not their WAGES tho as that mindlessly silly line of yours claimed.

But thats unlikely to see you use the doctor any less, and if it did see
you not bother with a doctor for the common cold etc, thats a good thing.

Pigs arse it is. The problem isnt the illegals, its the completely
****ed health care funding system the US is stupid enough to
be the last modern first world country to stick with that sees
huge numbers of people with no health insurance at all because
they cant afford the cost of it, even at very decent wage levels.

Not with their WAGES they get paid they aint. THATS what you claimed.

STILL aint the WAGES you made that stupid pig ignorant claim at the top
about.
And you get the reverse effect with teachers, there are LOTS more jobs
for teachers because the illegals do tend to have a hell of a lot more
brats
than non immigrants do.
Cops, lawyers etc in spades. They BENEFIT from the large number of
illegals
even if you are NOW talking about more than just wages. Cops in spades
with
all the overtime they get paid to deal with their illegal activitys.
And even someone doing menial work in a Walmart etc benefits from
illegals because they all have to eat, wear clothes, drive cars etc etc
etc.
