Well, at least you are honest about your agenda.
Many of the individuals who walk into the facility do not speak a lick of English, nor do many of them have documentation.
However, no one says anything about them not having documentation, they just go on their way.
Meanwhile, Motor Voter has allowed non-citizens to vote, even though they have a sign standing out that says only U.S. Citizens can vote. Fraudulent documentation is rampant.
In Georgia, we also have big-brother creeping down our neck with the thumb print files encoded into our drivers licenses.
Correctomundo!! Why does the US get involved with nations like this in the first place? It makes a person want to pull their hair out!!
Cut them loose and let them sink or swim.
I couldn't agree more. Now all we have to do is convince our government to enforce the laws and Constitution of the United States.
So far I haven't made much headway. I received one letter from Senator Phil Gramm and that is all I have to show for my efforts.
I refuse to be made a second class citizen in my own country by an illegal alien.
"Anybody know how to make a picture with this apparatus on the White House lawn?"
I gave it a shot.
There are so many ways to funnel U.S. Taxpayer's dollars down there, off the general public's radar screen, and to line their pockets with them, once those dollars are there, that members of both parties are in on the act.
The Bush family has been raking in big bucks in Puerto Rico for 20 years. Jeb went down there, last year, and picked up $150,000 for his campaign. Clinton received his largest single contribution, of $250,000, from a Puerto Rican medicare hospital owner during his '96 campaign. Pepsi and Coke received an approximately $360,000, yearly, tax benefit, per employee, in Puerto Rico. Flour Daniels, pharmaceutical companies, hotels, etc. have received similar tax windfalls.
The Department of Labor paid for hundreds of Burger King employees, last year, in Old San Juan, with U.S. Taxpayer's dollars.
If this latest section 956 tax scheme goes through, the cost to the U.S. Taxpayer's will be enormous, but most will never even know about it. Just like most Taxpayers never heard of Section 936, 926 and all of the other tax scams perpetrated in Puerto Rico.
Why do you think the Bush family is in such a hurry to gift the 24,000, U.S. Taxpayer owned, acres on Vieques to the ingrates and corrupt politicians in Puerto Rico?
They know how to collect their share!
I, especially, enjoy reading of their politicians bragging of their latest schemes to bilk the U.S. Taxpayers out of even more of their hard-earned dollars. You know they'ed never say half of what say, if the national press was standing there.
