Yep! It's all true! My son screams bloody murder at the beginning of every semester registration! The BEST day and morning classes are usually taken up by ...you've guessed it! OH AND, they don't have to pay out of town or out of country tuition...HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!! The majority of the University parking lots are taken up...yep you've guessed it..Mexican plates. It's a mess here too! There was an article in our local paper about some students who are graduating in May with degrees that CAN'T be used here in the US because they are NOT US citizens...the gall of them to complain...they outta GO BACK HOME and activate their degrees in their homeland so that they can improve living conditions in Mexico. And of course our stinking liberal town paper were so sensitive to their plight....UGH, It gets me so MAD I could SCREAMMMMMMMMMM!! :(

The discussion is about illegals. It would be a logical assumption that you were talking about illegals, too.

I made the same suggestion you did re: using their worthless degrees here in the US, down in Mexico to improve the country so the illegals won't come here because the conditions are better there---

I was not flamed, but a poster did point out that my suggestion meant that US taxpayers would be paying for the education and living expenses anyway while they are here!

That is true, but IF by some miracle Mexico would get its act together and actually find jobs for their people--it might solve things in the LLLLLLLLLLLoonngggggg run---unfortunately not for your kids or mine--and probably not for my grandkiddies either...

If the amateur border patrol is pissing off Mexico, then we're doing a good thing.

Frankly, I think Arnold used the right word the first time.

I am very proud of them and grateful---

I have been a Bush fan, and I still like his as president, but I just don't understand the border control position he and all of Washingtion takes---

There are only a handful of politicians that are willing to jeopardize their hispanic and other minority constituents in order to speak up about this---

And, just like Soc. Security and Medicare, it is would be very difficult to legislate even if the President was full on board for closing the borders shut---

And in case you wonder, I did not ask for papers any more than I would have asked for ID papers when I met my french wife.

If they are good workers and decent people, why not ask them? If they turn out to be illegals, maybe you could help them get the proper documentation, so they can be free from fear of deportation. Just a thought.

are not the way to achieve a better understanding between our country and California."

Want a better understanding of mexico? Look south of the border in El Paso or Larado.

That's all ya need to know.

I would like to thank you for your post! It is so refreshing to have someone post a kind, thoughtful and intriguing comment such as yours. So often these posts are so negative it is depressing.

I do not know about a tax form, I have only used them about 2 months but I do get a receipt from them, they give the appearance of a legitimate business, I doubt illegals advertise in the yellow pages. As far as our office cleaners I hope too they are doing the legal and right thing as you and I are but frankly in our office we do not check on each of of clients, vendors or companies to verify each of their employees are legal.

Unless the people/business your office hires are/is a corporation, don't you either have to pay their payroll taxes or issue a 1099 form every year? For your own household employees, you need to withhold or pay the payroll taxes for them.

To withhold or pay payroll taxes and to file the related W-2's 1099's etc., you need to know the employee's social security number (By "payroll taxes," I mean Social Security and Medicare taxes)

Evidently Arnold doesn't give damn about the nonsense that comes out of Bush's mouth.

I wasn't for Arnold running for president before this, but now I wish we had him for our President vs. George Wimp Bush.
