I hope I am posting this right since this is my first post...
Anyways I would like to point out that many illegals not only pay sales tax but income tax as well. They receive a tax id number and use that to pay. I have family members that did not get here legally and when they went to apply for residency they had to show that they had been paying their taxes they had to show tax returns for the last five years. While the government can not keep great records of illegals who file their taxes estimates are that 2/3 of illegal immigrants file their income tax. How many of us would actually go and file taxes voluntarily, if we knew that the government would probably not be able to track us down? (just a thought)
I would also like to point out that I know many people who are here illegally, most of the people I actually hang out with that live here illegally were brought here by their parents when they were really young. I have a friend whose parents brought him when he was two. He finally get his residency but because he was never able to get and education past high school and because his mother still does not have papers to be here, he joined the army. He is now fighting in Iraq. How much does he have to sacrifice before we are willing to say okay you have contributed? What are kids coming up through the education system like he did suppose to do? No matter what grades you get or how hard you work your chances at getting anywhere are so slim. When we think of people coming here illegally we always think of adults but there are so many kids that are stuck in this situation. For me I have always believed that the greatest thing about our country is that we give people an opportunity to do something with their lives, but these people are really stuck
Sorry to ramble just thought I would share...
This has to be one of the best first posts of all time. Thanks for sharing.
So reward them for breaking our laws? Are you going to shake the guys hand that rapes some girl you know to?
I know how the problem can be solved to. Militarize the border. Have the National Guard do just that.
yeah, that's it...I'm for legalizing rape too...:rolleyes: seriously, are you that dense that you see illegal immigration and rape as the same thing...
how about this, we fine them a few hundred bucks, say $500...PRESTO CHANGEO...no reward, they pay a fine for breaking the law, make them legal, have them pay taxes...and issue resolved...
just think 12 million X $500 = A LOT...
by the way, how does militarizing the border address the fact that Millions are already here...? and who is going to pay to militarize the border...? how much with that cost...?

Yeah I'll pile on nice first post. Now tell these people to start respecting this country and follow the laws. Apply like responsible people do.

I remember reading a statistic about how many people would not know the difference between right and wrong if there weren't laws to act as a guide.
As far as you're concerned, people looking for a better way of life and to provide for their families are no different from rapists. All you know is that they're both breaking the law.
So, what's it like...not knowing the difference between right and wrong?
Illegal aliens are criminals who should have no rights. They broke our laws. Giving them citizenship (amnesty) is a slap in the face to all who have stood in line and all who came through places like Ellis Island legally.
Our National Guard would be better used on our southern border defending our country instead of being in Iraq.
This country is a founded on immigration-we are all immigrants. When did we decide the doors were closed?
1907.
The US immigration Act of 1907: Reorganized the states bordering Mexico (Arizona, New Mexico and a large part of Texas) into Mexican Border District to stem the flow of immigrants into the United States.
The fight is not us against them. The struggle is within the politician. They have to pretend that theydon't want them here even though they are taking campaign contributions from companies whose workforce depends on them. It's the best way they can make something as cheap as possible so the people who used to have those jobs can afford to buy them.
you want to get rid of illegal immigrants?
UNIONIZE THEM!!
trust me, they'll be falling all over themselves to send them back.
it's the only thing they're really scared of.

That might do it. However I would not want unions being filled with uneducated, untrained people. I'm a union member and the amount of training I have is in the tens of thousands of hours. The Government says it has to be that way.
I don't want our labor pool flooded with people who are unqualified.

Then I guess it would disappoint you to hear that there are unskilled labor unions already in existence.

nice post...
keep 'em coming...
If someone wants to come here to live, I think the should be able to do so in the easiest manner possible.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
you hate unions and support ilegal immigration.
I don't know if there's anyone more un-American than you on this board.

So are you going to put a fence on the ocean as well? They'll figure out a way to get here, they're pretty smart.
the other foot in the gutter
sweet smell that they adore
I think I'd rather smother
