Reply With QuoteEver hear of school taxes? Another instance of citizens getting screwed as they pay the way for illegals.
Note that state taxes pay for most of the actually important things, like education and police protection.

Except that illegals put far more money into the economy than they take out.
That's true, although food is often exempt from sales tax.Originally Posted by Barnabas
This is false. Illegal immigrants DO file tax returns if they can get a refund.
I found this out recently from someone I know who owns and operates a tax accountant service. She does hundreds of illegal immigrant returns.
This isn't even a secret kept by tax professionals. The treasury department knows about it but the media doesn't report it:

Most of those are paid for by property taxes so if they rent a house they're paying it.

As a restaurant manager in the 90's I am sure that I hired many illegals. Or I should say that I was pretty sure they were illegals. However, they had totally legit looking paperwork and were the only people that applied for the jobs that I posted in the paper. For me NOT to hire them would have been discrimination based on a feeling.
We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.
Coming from Europe where we ignored the impact of immigration on society for way too long, I disagree.
Economically speaking it makes sense, but social impacts of mooving large numbers of people into your country would be devastating.

Europeans are bigoted pieces of ****. **** you and your culture.

Somebody's paying the property taxes.
Anyway, it's moot if immigration opens up.

Because, you know, the US has never had mass immigration, at all.

Just let us know who they are, that's all I ask.

Yet now half the US shits a brick every time a mexican jumps the fence.
...because a lot more than "a mexican" can jump the fence. The border is dangerously porous, and Mexico is disintegrating.

I don't mind securing the border and tightening down the hatches; I just want us to let almost everyone in through the legal channels.
Obviously we want to prevent the conflict south of the border from spilling over here. Mexico has no shortage of violent criminals. Juarez is scary even from this side of the Rio Grande. However, the vast majority of Mexicans coming over are just working really hard, paying taxes, and doing proud the several hundred year tradition of the American immigrant.

Yeah, the natives really benefited from it.

The Mexicans have been very clever with their immigration - current 'americans' won't have to be put on reservations, they are segregating themselves in gated communities.
There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
Speak for yourself, paleface.

Qatar is an interesting example. Over 80% of denizens are migrant workers IIRC.

Where in what I wrote do you read hate ?
Every system needs time to adapt to change. Let's give it time.

Currently I think the system of green cards works very well.
"Ceterum censeo Ben esse expellendum."
It's too expensive and convoluted. Also, quotas? What the ****??

Green cards would be fine if we gave them to everyone.
The reason the idea of an unsecured border is scary is because of the fact that we don't check at all what kind of people are jumping it. Fortunately, most of them are just ordinary people seeking a better life. If we gave those people green cards, they'd come in the normal way.

Let's create a system where coordinated gangs of drug dealers can easily cross the border, but ordinary people just looking for work can't...oh wait.
