You're kidding, right? How can any conservative think this way?
The way to attack the problem is not to load up the tax rolls, it is to decrease them. Decrease the size of the federal bureaucracy. Decrease the universe of entitlements.
If we do enough of this, perhaps illegal border crossings in 100 degree heat in the back of a sealed semi-trailer will become less attractive.
If, in the offchance Alan Keyes is sworn in as the next senator from Illinois, I want to see if he'll introduce abolishing income taxes or tax reparations for the descendents of slaves first.
Because we're playing in a different ball game now. The current politicians will never allow the illegals to leave, and will in fact encourage millions more to come here, while we citizens will be forced to pay the bills.
I am a conservative, but I am also able to stay awake and smell the coffee. The things that were good about America only four years ago are today gone forever, and will never come back because of unrestricted illegal immigration. We are living in an occupied country. And we citizens are going to pay through the nose regardless of our political affiliations.
