Have you ever heard of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)? It is welfare disguised as a tax refund. Making the EITC larger is what the Democrats are talking about when they talk about a tax cut for the poor. Low wage earners get back MORE money in their refund check then was ever withheld from their paychecks. 9 out of 10 Mexicans would qualify. We would not be taxing them; they would be taxing us.
And don't count on being able to reverse that situation either. Don't forget that there would be 100 million new Democrat voters and that Mexicans would control at least a quarter of Congress, probably a good chunk of the Senate and would be the decisive vote on which Democrat in the Presidential primaries got to be President. The Republicans could juet forget about ever winning a national election again.
And then their would be the bilingual requirements ala Canada ...
We don't want any part of that corrupt third world hellhole.
Well, I was being a little facitious of course, but I should be careful what I joke about. The Dims might overhear and get ideas.
I am aware of this credit, it is especially helpful to people who earn less than a years worth of wages. I know one young lady who makes it a point not to earn over the limit, she gets a $2000+ refund (way more than the paltry amount she pays). She calls it her "furniture" money.
If everyone were honest, hard working individuals, this would be justified and I would happily pay. There are many single mothers at work who qualify but for those that work the system, this is a wonderful plus they can use.
I suppose I am OK with the EITC used for wage earners with children but very against the EITC for wage earners without children we also now have, also I would of course require they are American citizens and would have worked the entire year without any breaks in work time.
