Maybe because the ARTICLE was about our borders, national security, guest worker plans, and Mexico?
Have you answered my questions about how you are going to pay for the extra $19 billion of costs of giving social benefits to guest workers. Or how you are going to pay to deport them after 3 or 6 years? Maybe I missed your post?
I am against illegal immigration for many reasons. National security is just one of them. The cost to taxpayers is another. All that cheap labor is expensive. A third is that it is simply illegal. There are more.
Again, should we waste assets and personnel who are supposed to be protecting our national security interests to chase after busboys, gardeners, janitors, maids, and nannies?
I don't think we should. So, if anything, this program would enhance national security.
Cheap? Well, if you think tightening the border to the poitn we can prevent it is going to be cheap, guess again. They've done manpower studies. Get back to me when you have looked up what sort of density was needed for Operations "Gatekeeper" and "Hold the Line."
Isn't it interesting that all we hear about illegals is that they just come here to work but we still end up getting hit for billions in welfare $ to support them which allows employers to pay them minmal wages and EVADE a whole lot of state and fed'l payroll taxes......none of the cheerleaders ever seem to address that issue. Either we all have a set of rules to abide by in doing business or we have a banana republic which seems to be the path we're heading on.
Those pay offs are the same as we have for legal citizens. Lets work at eliminating government freebies and there will be less incentive for illegals coming to the USA and getting a free ride...or are you receiving a big check for sitting on your butt? If so I can see why you are concerned that your handout is in jeopardy.
