This is a lie perpetrated by racist bigots. Poor frightened souls.

The fact is foreign workers spend a good deal of that money here. They
also pay massive amounts in taxes, and what everyone seems to forget is
that they pay into a social security retirement system they will NOT
ever be able to use if they are undocumented.

The entire accusation against them is perpetrated to keep them and US
from every cooperating, thus driving wages down for everyone.

And my bet is that there isn't a single person that protests the cheap
goods by not buying them.
