Most of the Illegals work for contract companies and they can layoff or hire as needed without making the news, but there's a lot more to it than that. There are HUGE savings on payroll taxes and benefits. So much so that a company employing Americans can't compete. Even contract companies that employ Americans can't compete, and that's with no benefits.

In My case, I'm on SS, but had to resume work in order to live decently after returning from abroad. I work as a security guard and we have no benefits except 1.5 pay over 40 hours and 1.5 pay working on the 6 national holidays, nothing for the holidays if you aren't working. Company still has payroll taxes.

Back to the illegals...

Most of them are in the same boat, No sick days, No vacation, No Holiday pay, No Insurance and often no overtime pay. However the savings run deeper for the corporations.

SS and Medicare is currently 7.65% to Employee and the Employer has to match.

FUTA (Federal Unemployment) is 6% of first 7,000 paid each employee. State Unemployment in Tn (Where I live) is .01%-to as high as 10% (1) 2.7% for New Employers on the first 7,000 (Varies each year) paid an employee for 2023, Fla rates (2)

Worker's Compensation averages .93% overall, but varies by state and how hazardous the job is. California at 1.45% is at or near the top for average. Look up your states info here. https://www.thehartford.com/workers-compensation/states

Vacation time varies

1. Tax rates range from 0.01% to 2.3% for positive-rated employers and from 5% to 10% for negative-rated employers. Tennessee is the only state to determine experienced employer unemployment tax rates on a semiannual basis. The standard unemployment tax rate for new employers is 2.7% for fiscal year 2023

2. The Florida 2023 SUI tax rates are dated December 22, 2022. The minimum rate is 0.10% and the maximum rate is 5.4%, except that employers participating in the short-time compensation program may be subject to a maximum rate of 6.4%. New employers pay 2.7% in 2023.

Vacation-Sick leave Holidays: Insert your numbers here... Minimum at most jobs would be 40 Vacation, 48 Holiday, Sick Pay (0-48)

Corporations are starting to use more white collar workers that are illegals, so think about that before shrugging your shoulders. Also using illegals in the military might be right around the corner, they aren't going to be patriotic in all probability. California setting precedence by using Illegals as police.
