Why do illegal immigrants feel that my fellow citizens and I should be responsible for their bills??

They don't care about abiding our laws, why would they care if we pick up the tab for their stay. Those that are here for a better life. Usually come here legally.The difference is legal immigrants improve the country, illegal immigrants mooch off the rest of us, and try to force us to change to their culture.

When was the last time you paid an illegal's bill? If your implying that you paid your bills because of taxes that's not true, illegals don't get the benefits of taxes because the government doesn't regard that there here.... Your information is false.

I don't know but when they don't have to pay medical care or what not, they don't seem to realize this raises the cost for the rest of us. I don't mind legal immigrants but if they are illegaly, they shouldn't have special rights.

I have not been asked by any illegal immigrants to pay for their bills, but I'll indulge your question anyhow. Assuming you're talking about health care and education, it's because they pay for our bills too.

It is a mistakenly held belief that undocumented workers don't pay taxes. If payroll tax is withheld by their employer, then they probably pay a higher tax rate than legalized citizens of the same income since they are unlikely to file a tax return claim. Also, in local communities illigal immigrants pay without fail the most regressive tax of all, the sales tax. Every time they go to the grocery store, fill up their tank with gas, or have a meal at a restaraunt, they chip in to pay for roads, schools, and hospitals.

Because they're Illegals and they DON'T CARE about you or the rest of the honest tax paying population

because we being legal residents of USA pay the taxes.

i don't know they just need to leave

Because they are moochers who want to be taken care of. They get free healthcare and free education and we pay for it all.

Please note I am only referring to the illegals who are not even trying to work within our system to become legal.

what bills do they feel you should be responsible for? The ones I see are working and seem to be paying for their own things.

I DO AGREE WITH YOU AND YOU ARE RIGHT PUT THAT IS LIFE

why are you worried about a tiny bit of government money (less than 0.1% of the federal budget) that pays for indigent medical care for people with no insurance (not all of which are illegal immigrants) while your government is spending 600 billion dollars to kill people in Iraq, and billions more in Afghanistan?
Why don't you look at the facts and learn that millions of illegal immigrants still pay federal income tax and social security tax (withheld from their paychecks) for which they will never see any benefits, and that they amount they pay in is MUCH more than the amount that goes out in government services to them?

If you'd learn the facts it might be possible to have an intelligent discussion on the subject and look at some real possible solutions to the issue of illegal immigration. Inflammatory and wrong statements like yours above add nothing to the debate.

god it about time peoples come around on this illegal thing .i agree with you

TomCruise

I'm getting really sick of this shitt, all illegals must leave now!

I don't think they want you to pay their bills. They just want a better life, and unfortunately chose the wrong way to go about it.

How many immigrants have you met that said "Hey, you're responsible for my bills!!"

In reality the majority of illegal immigrants are paying YOUR bills. Where do most tax revenues come from? Sales tax. Everything they buy is taxable, and odds are they will never see any of that money. If hired, payroll taxes are siphoned out of their checks weekly, and again they will most likely not see that ever again.

Stop making such broad statements. In reality most illegal immigrants are coming here to provide some sort of living for their families.

brainiac

which is it? do they work for cheap and take all the jobs?
or all come and be on welfare (even though they cannot and are afraid of being caught)

pick one please

wishiwereatthebeach

Mexican's want to come here and make the US Mexico! They are doing it right under our noses! WE MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEM DON'T YOU ALL GET IT?

cantcu

Because you stupid Republicans keep hiring them!!

When are you guys ever going to learn about supply and demand??

Hammer

They cant pay taxes because they dont have a social security card, so they work for employers that pay them cash and the employers are at fault.......Im also a tax payer and payed for you education, finacial aide and your freedom...you dont hear me complainting.....look at all the help we have given through out the world and some have even payed with their lives.......so get over it...racist scum.

Although I do not think they feel that way, it is important to say that they do pay taxes (e.g. sales taxes) as other people mentioned correctly. Moreover, thanks to them we pay lower prices in many products and services, which benefits you and everybody in this country. They do not, in general, steal jobs to legal residents because they tend to perform very basic types of jobs (washing dishes, house cleaning, assembling, etc.) which are jobs not commonly done by most Americans. Thanks.

Hey, somebody tell cactu that it's the democrats that want them to stay!

For the same reasons America feels entitled to put their noses in everyone's elses business....Its called entitlement, remember? Our country is the most guilty of that....
