Where do you stand?

[Edwina's Secretary]

MOFF....Debbie's post said immigrants who become citizens earn, on average $900.00....as a contrast to illegal immigrants earning $460.00. So that would be....naturalized citizens earn on average $900.00. That is about the national average for a family of four.

But here we see how myths are spread. It went from what Debbie said to illegals earning that amount....becoming postal workers and getting special points for being minorities. NOT ALL IMMIGRANTS -- legal or illegal ARE HISPANIC.

Does anyone wonder how the earnings of illegal immigrants are measured?

And...my grandmother had her children at home by midwives. Most women did. She had no health insurance. Health insurance did not come about until WWII. Employers were under wage and price controls as an attempt to prevent inflation as employers compete for the suddenly limited availability of workers. So to comply with wage controls they began offering fringes, such as health insurance to attract workers.

Thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't even making that much in wages after working for an insurance co for 20 years even with a college education!!!

I've always wondered how they measure things like how certain people's earnings are measured too. Along with how do they know which people women vote for or African American's vote for. They must have our supposidly secret ballots marked somehow. Maybe that's what that x is on the bottom of our ballots. (we still use a pencil when voting here).
