With the amount of taxes I pay, I can conclude that a penny of that amount went to that cab ride, so I did pay.

I don't know if Uncle Same or NJ subsidizes cabs, I wouldn't be surprised, but unless the government always gives out free cab rides, I don't know how you can tell where the kids' money came from by looking. If you are saying that there are some loafers that get government money for all kinds of things, and you are paying for it, then I agree.

And I conclude that the occupants were American citizens, that is why God blessed us with sight.

You conclude? Because they "looked" like US citizens?

You have not given any plan on what to do with illegals already here?

Enforcing the law would be a good start. Bush and Obama have not only not enforced the law; they showed a contempt for the law. I would make e-verify mandatory and punish those businesses who intentionally hire illegals. The National Guard would be on the border in strength.

Until we have tried to do something about illegal immigration, it is foolish and cowardly not to try. What would you do at Bastogne in 1944? Surrender to the Germans or say "Nuts!" and try to defend?

I have stated that privileges should be given to illegals on a point system. Points would be received for working and not using public assistance.

So are you in favor of a "path to citizenship" or not?

I am much more scared of our leaders who have sworn to uphold the Constitution destroying it then the illegals.

Granting voting rights to the illegals is a good way to make sure our leaders are much worse that they are now. My neighbor is Hispanic and voted against Obama, but even with a full blown amnesty candidate, most of them still would not vote for the GOP. You can theorize, but I would guess that most of them wanted "Obama money."

I can tell you this much in NJ, transportation vouchers are given and used for cabs. Have you ever been in Camden City , Dingy? Well I have more often then I like to be and these cabs are lined up the MLK Blvd. to transport those on the system. We have public busses but thats not god enough, they want a private ride. As far as the occupants of the cab lets try this again. They were not Hispanic and they spoke English pretty clearly except for the occasional fudge word that will spilled out of the cab. So I would conclude that were US citizens.

E-verify is mandatory is some states, however, it is inaccurate in 54% of the cases. Not good. You keep speaking of making Government smaller. Under your plan it would cost hundreds of millions in legal fees for the taxpayers and business owners in these flawed cases. What to do with the illegals when they are caught, again taxpayers dollars to jail them, deport them or legally defend them. This problem will be so big Government will need to grow to handle the problem. The farming and agriculture sector of our Country will take a big hit and need Government assistance again costing taxpayers money. Bottom line E-verify is not working.

I can see you are a great exaggerator Mr. Dingy, don’t think this situation is in any way comparable to Bastogne. America created the problem for not fixing the lock on the door for 30 years.

Not a path to citizenship but to American society. Citizenship is something to be treasured not tramped on. What I am speaking about is for them to take steps to transition in to our society rather then be in hiding. They must speak English, know our history and laws, honor a work ethic, sign a personal responsibility promise to ensure insurance coverage. Points would be given to allow them to work up to privileges such as driving. Voting is not a privilege, it is a Constitutional right so this would not apply to them. As punishment they would not be allowed to apply for US Citizenship for 15 years from the time they register. This is in no way a perfect idea but we need some type of transition.

Again Obama has done much more damage to our Constitution then the 11 million illegals ever could. From what I have seen, the Hispanic community is one of faith, family values and a strong work ethic. I have more faith in them joining the GOP then my libby neighbor changing sides.
