18B is nothing. Trillions of dollars are leaving this country every year by corporations being based out of an office in the Bahamas instead of NYC or Atlanta. The Illegals spend for more than 18B now that is not being taxed while they send that money south. Why not get what we can out of them while they are here?

Companies are about profits, but they also base their decisions on the tax liabilities they will incur. A business that needs say 8 more people to run most efficiently. They have a budget of 110k per year for new employees. Pay for those positions in $6.00/hr and ends up being $240 a week. $240 a week is 12,480 . Everything works out great. 8 employees will cost just under 100k for the year. But wait that 6$/hr employee ends up costing the business owner 6.90/hr to cover payroll taxes. That comes out to 14352 a year. Well I guess we will have to do with only 7 more employees now because we are over budget.
