When did you start learning to read figures? Look at the following productivity model and it will brighten up your eyes once and for all:

Let's see if the Mexican-Californian border could ever be sealed with the following rural-urban migration model.

---

(1)Tax payments made by allien or illegal workers.

They pay sales tax when they buy things. When they rent rooms, the owners of the apartments/hourse pay tax. So who says the allien or illegals are having a free ride on the locals?

(2)Productivity contribution

(a)Allien or illegals sell their productivity at _market rate_. (b)Locals or legals sell their productivity at institutionally fixed rates(minimum wage, unionized wage, etx..)

(b) is bound to be higher than (a) by a hefty premium. Let me call this X quantity.

OK....X times the number of illegals in California = Y (say)

That is to say, this quantity named Y is solely produced by alliens or illegals. Who have used the bigger share of this Y quantity, the illegals or the legals???????

Now, you understand why that border could never be shut, whether under a social or fascist or communist or capitalist leadership, as it is the collective latter or the 'legal' natives that have used the bulk of quantity Y produced by the illegals!

*You* own your current standard of living to immigrants, especially the illegal ones.

Len: The subject on rural-urban migration is a complex issue of a highly _technical_ nature, and is not something to be understood by a combination of Bob Hope shows and can-can dances.

Go back to school!
