"Any taxes paid by illegals ..."

So now you are admitting that illegals do pay taxes?

Anyone who lives in a state where sales tax is placed on food, clothing, gas, etc. is going to have to pay it; there's no way around it. As for filing federal and state taxes, that's a whole different thing. But you knew that already, right?

The point was obvious: even if illegal aliens pay sales tax on the everyday goods they buy, it's still an insufficient amount to cover the costs they place on society. You know, if you want to bamboozle us with your twists and turns of "logic," you'll have to work a little harder at it. (But working hard might mean "doing a job an American won't do," so on second thought, don't stress out too much on it!)

You claim that Auntie Dem's 34 years of experience is merely "anecdotal" and proves nothing. What would your standard be of conclusive proof? And what non-anecdotal evidence have you got to refute Auntie Dem's claim?

By the way, I asked you a few questions a week or so ago, and you didn't really answer them, so I'll ask again, throwing a couple more into the mix:

1) If Americans won't do the tasks that hardworking Mexican laborers will, how hardworking are Americans of Mexican descent? Any reason why they can't be recruited to do that work?

2) How much does the percentage of their Mexican heritage factor in to it - in other words, how much more hardworking is someone who's 100% Mexican compared to, say, half-Mexican?

3) If someone has one Mexican parent and one non-Mexican parent, is there a difference in whether the Mexican parent is the father or mother?

4) Once a Mexican comes to America, how many generations does it take for the "hardworking gene" to be conditioned out and become a lazy, non-hardworking American?

5) If, as you claimed recently, you'd "place American workers against any others in the world" (paraphrasing), then why wouldn't Americans do the menial work that seems to require "migrant laborers" to get done?

I'm sure you can find a way to answer these questions directly and truthfully without coming off as racist as you claim the "antis" are.

You have only assumed illegals pay any income tax, and have offered no proof. Provide us one certified copy of a tax return filed by an illegal showing any tax paid greater than any Earned Income Credit they may have received.

When I say "...any taxes paid by illegals...", I also am assuming that somewhere, some one illegal may have paid a pittance in income taxes. The evidence is abundant of the costs imposed on our society by the illegals--but where are the benefits?

Perhaps you are one of the beneficiaries of their cheap labor, and want to keep profiting from it?
