If the welfare payments didn't happen then, at least to the extent they either make more than minimum wage, currently work under the table, or would accept under the table work (which would also be more likely if they didn't receive any welfare payments) it would be easier for the employer to get the current or potential employee to work.


Exactly, why is this so difficult to figure out? But more to the point, if you import a third of the towns population and double the school kid population and you need $20M to build a new school, and all of this descends from a single segment of the economy, farm labor, how dense are you to not figure out that the economic benefit to the Ag producers is being socialized on the rest of the economy? Yet you can't figure this out. This is not difficult to understand.
