You pay 7.65% FICA tax
They pay 0% FICA tax for 3 years

MATH:
You: $200k - $13,818 = $186,182
Them: $200k - $0 = $200,000

$41,454 EXTRA = their down payment on your starter home

100 foreign workers = $4.1M extra buying power
Your taxes fund their housing advantage

This is why you're getting outbid
This is legal replacement

THEY ADMIT IT:

Foreign worker: "Delay H1B to avoid $10k taxes?"

Response: "Just don't file it and save"

They see your taxes as optional
You see them as mandatory

ENTITLED MINDSET:

Foreign worker: "Ask for RAISE to cover my new taxes?"

Response: "Don't mention FICA... ask based on performance"

They see taxes as personal loss, not duty

THE REAL INVASION:

"Illegals" = distraction
"Legals" = replacement with tax advantages

Illegals take service jobs
Legals take your career + house + future

Wake up - real invasion arrives on student visas

Billionaire tax evasion = illegal
Foreign worker tax exemption = government-approved

One breaks laws, one has SPECIAL RULES giving them $41k advantage over you

Stop the false equivalence - this is about DIRECT COMPETITION for housing

>You: $200k - $13,818 = $186,182
FICA only applies on income up to $176,100.
