Get rid of the GOP.
Is the US "rule of law" or rule of lawbreaker?
Legalize?
Have the illegal aliens register for a work visa, with no pathway to citizenship, no illegal voting, and no access to entitlements or government benefits. We've had lots of people come here to work who didn't intend to screw up our politics.
Immigration & Tax Law Definitions
How to Determine Residency for Tax Purposes
The information in this section is provided as a general guide on residence status for U.S. tax purposes. Please note that there are significant differences between the definitions of residence status for immigration law purposes and for tax law purposes.
Immigration Law
A non-resident alien for immigration purposes is a person who is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the U.S. and who has been admitted to the U.S. for a temporary stay that will end when the purpose of that stay has been met. Individuals in non-immigrant visa status have visas which begin with letters: B, F, J, TN, H, L, O, etc.
A resident alien for immigration purposes is the same as an immigrant, a lawful permanent resident (a "green card" holder) who is not a U.S. citizen but has been authorized to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely.
Tax Law
A non-resident alien for tax purposes is a non-U.S. citizen or permanent resident who, during his or her stay in the U.S., either pays U.S. tax only on income from sources inside the U.S., or is exempted from paying U.S. income tax because of a treaty between the U.S. and the government of his/her country of residence. With a few exceptions most non-resident aliens are not eligible to take tax exemptions for dependents. A non-resident alien for tax purposes must file an income tax return on IRS FORM 1040NR or 1040NR EZ, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return.
A resident alien for tax purposes must pay tax to the U.S. government on income from all sources worldwide and may, in certain limited circumstances, enjoy benefits of tax treaty exemptions. Individuals who are resident aliens for tax purposes can claim exemptions for dependents. A resident alien for tax purposes files a return on IRS FORM 1040, 1040A, OR 1040EZ.
Categories established for immigration purposes do not necessarily coincide with those set up for tax purposes. Under certain circumstances, a non-resident alien for immigration purposes may be classified as a resident for tax purposes. Thus, students and scholars who are not citizens of the United States must take care to determine whether they are resident or non-resident aliens for tax purposes. Only then will they know how their income will be taxed and which income tax return form to file. For current information on tax laws regarding resident and non-resident aliens, consult IRS publications 513, 515, 519 and 901.
A resident for tax purposes is a person who is a U.S. citizen or a foreign national who meets either the "green card" or "substantial presence" test as described in IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens.
In general:
A non-resident for tax purposes is a person who is not a U.S. citizen and who does not meet either the "green card" or the "substantial presence" test as described in IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens.
In general:
Lawful permanent residents of the U.S. are considered to be residents for tax purposes. A person has this status if he/she has been granted resident status by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and/or has been issued an alien registration card, also known as a "green card".
A foreign national in non-immigrant visa status may be considered a resident for tax purposes as soon as he/she meets the "substantial presence" test for a calendar year (January 1 to December 31). To meet this test, the person must be physically present in the U.S. on at least:
Days That Are Not Counted:
A foreign national will not meet the "substantial presence" test if:
IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, provides details on what is required to establish a closer connection to a foreign country, including such things as the location of a person's permanent home, family, personal belongings, etc.
Ohio PIng
They are faced with a choice between conservatives and illegals. They’re making their choice...time for a conservative party, as the GOP ain’t it.
Cui bono?
it makes sense to register them and bring them into the system
**********
No, it doesn’t! Not if they’ll vote against your beliefs for the next 30-40 years.
These are the “leaders” you get when you elect Bushes.
This party is really screwed.
Dan Quayle and Karl Rove are on the list.
Where can we get a list of these donors? They could be made to regret this.
Are these the
“parity donors” who give to both sides.
this is a bs story.
I'd like to see that list........
I guess the RNC no longer needs donations from their FORMER base. They can manage to survive with $$ from the Amnesty lovers/Traitors...like Karl Rove, Dan Quayle, Carlos Gutierrez, et al.
Do nothing until Republicans control the Congress. And I mean conservatives Republicans.
“The donors, led by former Bush administration Cabinet officials Carlos Gutierrez and Spencer Abraham, also said that immigrants are potential Republican voters who can be won over if the party can be seen as welcoming to immigrants.”
Bullshit. They will never vote in large numbers for Repubs. Maybe these idiots can tell us how the level of Hispanic support for George H.W. Bush rocketed “up” to 31% in 1988 (Reagan got 37% in ‘84), just two years after the passage of the 1986 amnesty.
Hispanics generally like big-government programs, such as Obamacare. No amount if destructive pandering will win them over.
The GOP is dead anyways. There’s precious few leaders with cojones and the ones who do would fit in perfectly with a Freedom Party.
The GOP may have to get smaller before it ever gets bigger.
“The donors, led by former Bush administration Cabinet officials Carlos Gutierrez and Spencer Abraham, also said that immigrants are potential Republican voters who can be won over”
Bullshit.
The corporate donors are running the party now. Its about money and nothing else.
.........wait what?
It’s because the greedy biz owners are paying these corrupt politicians off...Bankrolling their campaigns to keep that dirt cheap labor coming..
The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
