The City of New York is getting tough on immigration. Their crackdown consists of letting illegal immigrants vote. (So I guess al Quada's next attack on New York will consist of getting their people elected there.) The Senate is getting tougher, making all illegals register with the federal government (if they decide to show up.)
Meanwhile illegals all across the United States are protesting for their "rights". And when they say "rights" they mean things like welfare, social security, use of the schools and several other things they don't pay for. True - they pay sales taxes, but they're exempt from the hardcore income taxes, FICA and all the other heavy prices that the Political Elite punish the rest of us with. It's nice that these invaders feel entitled to the fruits of American labor - not that they want to have anything to do with us. So they do have something in common with the people in our government.
Neither of these groups even deems us worthy of communicating with. One wants to speak Spanish only. The other wants to tell us that English words don't really mean what we think they mean (depends on how you define the word "is".)
If the United States really wants to crack down on illegals the solution is easy. You don't have to build a wall. You don't have to have scores of people patrolling the border. All you have to do is CUT THESE PEOPLE OFF. Deny them welfare. Deny them Social Security. Don't let them sue in our courts. Bust companies that hire illegals. DON'T GIVE THESE PEOPLE A REASON TO COME HERE.
They complain that they were poor in the Mexico. That's fine. But for some reason it's a crime that they're poor here. It keeps getting tossed in my face like I'm guilty of some horrible theft. They want to do the job that no one else wants do for a wage that no one else will take. You're saying that to a guy that works for two dollars an hour (plus tips.)
My heart bleeds....
I'd rather pay a buck a head for lettuce than an extra thousand a year in taxes to support acouple Illegals.
Just knowing the 20 million tax evader Illegals are here, taking advantage of better living conditions, bought and paid for from my tax dollars ..boils my blood.
Oh, I forgot...they pay taxes on purchases they make. Well, so do I.
