If you’ve been here 25 years and you got three kids and two grand kids, you’ve been paying taxes and obeying the law...
Silly me, I thought obeying the law was obeying the law...maybe I’ve been wrong all of my life.
Let’s see here....if I understand:
They break the law to come over here in the first place.
They get on the welfare rolls and cheat the tax paying citizen.
They breed like rats since they don’t have to pay for their free babies and then get free everything else illegally by cheating the system.
They falsify SS cards and numbers.
They refuse to even attempt to assimilate into our society and expect us to change our governmental forms and rules to Spanish so they can read them.
They drive without a valid driver’s license and refuse to buy liability insurance.
A majority of them do not pay income taxes since most money is “under the table” and those who do have fake stolen SS numbers.
And the list goes on and on and on.
So, Newt, please explain the original statement above for I can’t no matter how hard I try.
He should have said “otherwise law-abiding.” But it is obvious to most, that he was not talking about overlooking identity theft, tax evasion, driving without a license, or such other offenses as you cited.
Contrary to your implication, Newt stated clearly that he is in favor of English as the official language, and even went so far as to endorse teaching history and making school children aware of the Declaration of Independence.
As for “they breed like rats,” you ought to be ashamed.
To remain in this country illegally for twenty five years, you would almost certainly have to commit the following:
Purjury-any government document that requires a signature to affirm true and correct statements. From housing to employment, from government benefits to medical treatment.
Fraud-receiving state, federal, county, municipal assistance of any kind based on false statements or forged documents.
Forgery-government documents, falsifying signatures, utilizing legal residents to obtain documents.
Embezzalment-manipulating data contained within documents in an attempt to receive payments from organizations whether public or private.
These are state and or federal felonies. This does not even come close to accounting for the numerous class A,B,C misdemeanors committed year after year to remain in this country.
Sorry, if you are here illegally, regardless of time-frame, family, church, job, you should be held to account.
Otherwise, the rule of law means absolutely zilch!
