It has been said that illegal immigrants have taken some of the jobs of Texan workers. Immigrants, although they have looked for the job, have not “stolen” Texan’s work but rather the own employers have sought them out due to such benefits as the low pay that illegal aliens are willing to take (compared to how much a native is expected to get payed or the nagging of a right of a payment raise.) Additionally, these workers will obey most demands, sometimes hard labor, in order to keep their jobs.
In the Texas state House, they have proposed a bill in which hiring or allowing an illegal alien to work will result in up to 2 years in jail and a $10,000 fine. This bill, however, will not be eligible for those working in household jobs such as working as a maid, caretaker, lawn work, or any other type of housework. This bill may be viewed as many as an act of ignorance coming from the Texas government since these immigrants are basically being used to do the jobs that others find too laborious, underpaid, or are just not willing to do.
Furthermore, these illegal workers are not given all the benefits that a Texan is able to receive. These benefits include medical insurance, retirement funds, and other such things that can be enjoyed by legal residents.
Although they may be "stealing" jobs, they are working more for less gains and are being punished for it by the government.
