How can illegals come here break our laws get amnisty welfare,housing,medical,s... and we pay more taxes?

gokart121

Hmmm....mainly because they have VERY powerful advocacy groups DEMANDING money out of the american taxpayers' wallet. Vote against immigration amnesty, if you feel strongly about not having the United States become the Global Welfare Provider...and you're going to have to fire a bunch of people out of state and federal government, too...and I doubt they'll go quietly...

NONAME

because america has become communist. we pay for everyone else.

Every person for illegal immigration should be forced to compensate these innocent people who have had their social security numbers and identities stolen by these illegals who invade our country with no care who they hurt. They should have to not only compensate the money lost from their social security accounts after they are zeroed out once the fraud is detected, but every last cent the victims had to pay taking time off work, every cent that went into photocopying documentation, every cent that went towards lawyers and gas driving somewhere to get this mess taken care of, and any other financial expenditure the victim had to cough up. They should also be forced to compensate the victims for the emotional hardships endured. They should have to compensate for the money and time spent trying to straighten out their credit ratings after these illegals have ruined them. They should be forced to compensate these victims for every single hardship related to what these illegals have inflicted upon these people. Currently, the system does not provide any compensation at all and a lot of people are never restored to previctimization status. Oh but these pro-illegals claim that illegal immigration is a victimless crime that hurts no one and that we are whining when we complain.

'Total purgatory' for taxpayers
Frustration can mount for victims of this kind of fraud. Eventually, the government agencies involved do catch up with the legitimate consumers; but often, not until they are looking for money. Victims can have trouble getting disability or unemployment benefits. The government doesnâ€™t try to alert victims of their victimizations, they usually find out by chance when theyâ€™ve been victimized further.
Other victims find the Internal Revenue Service on their backs, looking for payment of back taxes for wages earned by their imposters. Some see refunds held up by the confusion; others see their wages garnished.
Victims find themselves in a financial nightmare. All those imitators make a mess out of their work histories, Social Security benefits records and credit reports. Victims are haunted by bills and creditors. Victims receive threatening letters from the IRS, asking to pay taxes on money earned by these illegal Mexican colonizers. Victims are told to re-pay unemployment benefits they had received, after the government discovers they were "working" while drawing benefits when it was really these illegal Mexican invaders all along.

You think these illegals care that they are hurting innocent lives? Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America.

Then the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.

The illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.

Illegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.

The illegals get welfare by stealing social security numbers and identities and using false papers. Therefore, the time limits under the Clinton welfare reform doesn't apply to them because once the time limit is up, all they have to do is get new stolen social security numbers and identities and false papers and start all over again. American citizens who draw welfare are limited to the time limits from the welfare reform and are then cut off. American citizens who fall on hard times and have to turn to welfare assistance have a harder time finding jobs that pay enough to live off of because the illegals have taken jobs and depressed the wages of those jobs still available to American citizens. Therefore, those in the lower working class are highly unlikely to ever be able to "work their way up" since the opportunities have been stolen which will entrap these people into poverty with little to no way out.

My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.

They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.

I am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexicoâ€™s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole.

Cultural imperialism

We experience Mexicoâ€™s assault on our country incrementallyâ€”as a series of mini-crises, each of which calls forth ever-renewed debates and perhaps some tiny change of policy. Because it has been with us so long and has become part of the cultural and political air we breathe, it is hard for us to see the deep logic behind our â€œimmigration problem.â€ Focused as we are on border incursions, border enforcement, illegal alien crime, guest worker proposals, changes of government in Mexico City, and other such transient problems and eventsâ€”all of them framed by the mediaâ€™s obfuscation of whether or not illegal immigrationâ€™s costs outweigh its benefits and by the maudlin script of â€œimmigrant rightsâ€â€”we donâ€™t get the Big Picture: that the Mexican government is promoting and carrying out an attack on the United States.

Another reason we miss whatâ€™s happening is that our focus is on the immigrants as individuals. Thus our leaders talk about illegal immigrants as â€œgood dads,â€ â€œhard working folksâ€ seeking to better their lives and their familyâ€™s prospects. In fact, this is not about individual immigrants and their families, legal or illegal. It is about a great national migration, a nation of people moving into our nationâ€™s land, in order to reproduce on it their own nation and people and push ours aside.

Thus, in orchestrating this war on America, the Mexican state is representing the desires of the Mexican people as a whole.

What are these desires?

(1) Political revanchismâ€”to regain control of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848, thus avenging themselves for the humiliations they feel they have suffered at our hands for the last century and a half;

(2) Cultural imperialismâ€”to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially

(3) Economic parasitismâ€”to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, a major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo.

The myth of â€œlazyâ€ immigrants cheating U.S. taxpayers and living off welfare couldnâ€™t be farther from the truth.

According to a 2004 study by the Urban Policy Institute, virtually all undocumented men--96 percent--and 62 percent of undocumented women are in the workforce. According to a March report from the Pew Hispanic Center, of the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., 7.2 million were employed in March 2005, making up approximately 4.9 percent of the labor force in the U.S.

Overall, immigrants--both documented and undocumented--are a huge boon to the U.S. economy. And as for whatâ€™s â€œfair,â€ the U.S. government takes far more from undocumented immigrants than it ever gives back.

In 2001, then-Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan testified before Congress that in the state of Illinois alone, "[undocumented] workers pay $547 million in taxes yearly, compared to $238 million in services used"--a net â€œprofitâ€ for Illinois of $309 million. And according to a report in last yearâ€™s New York Times, each year, undocumented immigrants pay an estimated $7 billion more than they get from Social Security and $1.5 billion more than they get from Medicare.

The Internal Revenue Service issues â€œIndividual Taxpayer Identification Numbersâ€ (ITINs) to allow undocumented workers to pay income taxes. Since 1996, 9.2 million of these numbers have been handed out. According to the Los Angeles Times, last year, 1.2 million people paid taxes using ITINs.

The federal government has been pretending that hampering our children's education and health care for our elderly isn't important as long as large corporations get cheap labor. After all, what's good for GM is good for America!

But not when America subsidizes educatiion and health care for the work force for their employees to the point where these services don't adequately take care of our own anymore.

DAMN GOOD QUESTION!!!!!!!!

Well now Americans are saying -No more are pockets are empty. Go elsewhere and take our government with you! Birds of a feather should flock together.

sealRborders

Because our WORTHLESS government not only LET'S them,but they are ENCOURAGING it!!! I heard on the news a couple of years ago,about one small town that actually send their school buses to the BORDER to pick up ILLEGALS kids!!! I think EVERYONE who helps ILLEGALS,should be ARRESTED,for aiding and abetting CRIMINALS!!!

leonard_leroy

Because corporations need illegal aliens to do jobs that you won't do. Get over it.

Send a letter and be certain to thank the Democrats. Republicans have been trying for years to rid the country of illegals, but the Dem's keep pushing for 'compassion'....aka 'amnesty'.

26 USC 1441
Code of Federal Regulations Sec. 1.1441-4 -- Exemptions from withholding for certain effectively connected income and other amounts.
...(b) Withholding is not required under Sec. 1.1441-1 from salaries, wages, remuneration, or any other compensation for personal services of a nonresident alien individual if such compensation is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and-- ....(iii) Such compensation is for services performed by a nonresident alien individual who is a resident of Canada or Mexico and who enters and leaves the United States at frequent intervals."
There's the key. CFR 1.1441-4(b)(iii). Politicians ever put that up for a vote.
So, that we have is income tax immunity to illegal aliens from Mexico and Canada.
American's are unaware & the laws need to be changed.

B/c Americans refuse to see what is really going on. They keep their heads up their butts and hope it'll all go away. They won't step up and assist those of us are trying to make a difference. They keep arguing the issue instead of researching and listening to the issues. They are being lead around by their bleeding hearts instead of their logical brains.

Jessica- Thank you!!

Vonnie - I don't know where you got your info. from, however, when you account for their (low) wage, the tax-paid (by US)services they get and the fact that nobody KNOWS how much they get paid in cash (since they only report the low wages) I guess anyone could save up enough money to put a substantial down payment on a new house, and I'm sure they 'qualify' for low interest loans, even though they are ILLEGAL criminals. You see, we have to file OUR income with the IRS and pay taxes on ALL of it. We don't lie to 'cheat' the system, as your illegal friends do. Those LEGAL citizens who abuse the system are wrong also. We as a country should and do deal with that issue, it's our business, not Mexicans, and even THEY are legal CITIZENS. WE will take care of that problem, however, that is irrelevant to the issue of ILLEGAL immigrants abusing the same system, it doesn't make it okay for illegals to do it, too.
OUR taxes paid for those schools, teachers and books. If an illegal immigrants kids are in the tax paid schools, even if those parents 'paid taxes' they are still illegal and should not be reaping the rewards of the American taxpayers many, many years of paying taxes. If they have been here long enough to have paid their fair share, they should have become LEGAL before now.
