It comes from American workers and taxpayers. many of whom are having their wages depressed as a result of this huge flow of illegal labor. They are being asked to pay an earnedincome tax credit check of $1.800. on average. to individuals who were illegal a few months before and possibly still have not completed the full background check. They still may not have completed the process to go to even a Z visa. Then they may be in a Z visa status for some time. I know it is said it is not amnesty because they have to pay a fine. How much is the fine? $1.000. They pay a $1.000 fine. Well. they do not actually pay a $1.000 fine. When they get this probationary status visa. they only pay $200. They pay the rest of it on an installment. Nobody has stated and set out how they are going to pay it.
