Well, Texas just passed new taxes today. No doubt in the hidden language this new tax will also be for illegals. We cannot absorb anymore. Most Americans only have one bank account so it doesn't matter who does the taxing city, county, state or the feds. The money still comes out of the same bank account. The Texas taxes will be signed by our Republican governor.
What you are actually saying is that Bush and the Republicans have been such failures on border control that the rest of the country needs to pay for their mess. Instead of tackling the problem of illegal immigration we are being forced to subsidize illegals. This problem will just escalate. Insurance rates will skyrocket as this billion won't be enough.
Also, what makes you think that legal hispanics won't go to the hospital and say "no comprende" and also get free care? I'll guarantee you that this will also happen. This has opened the door to more corruption than imaginable.
What makes you think I think anything like that? Apparently some of you folks have poor reading comprehension skills so I'll just restate my opinion for the slow...
- No, illegal immigration is not right.
- My county sales taxes were raised to fund the failing local county health care system, courtesy of illegals and their liberal allies. Every taxable item I buy subsidizes illegal alien health care.
- My federal income tax rate wasn't raised.
- Border states have grieved the feds for years to help defray the costs associated with illegal immigration.
- The feds are coughing up a billion dollars from the federal treasury to help offset those state costs.
- You, me and every other taxpayer in the country have been paying for illegal immigration for years. It's nothing new.
- The federal government, whether controlled by rats or republicans, has never tried to seriously stem the tide of illegals.
