Universal Health Care? Illegal aliens get it, why not us?
>> ^MarineGunrock:
As for children that are born here: Why the hell are we granting citizenship to children of illegals (who are probably using the medical system for free) anyway?
Because that's the definition of citizen.
Economic impact: You're assuming that we remove 10 million people from their jobs all at once.
No, not really. Regardless of how fast those workers are removed, they still need to be replaced. There's already been labor issues in Arizona, Colorado, etc., though the decline in housing construction has alleviated it somewhat.
Foreign Relations: With whom? Mexico? Seriously? What are they gonna do? Not let Americans into their border to spend our money in their country? I think not.
It's always a good idea to maintain good relations with your neighbors. These issues don't exist in a vacuum. It's not just Mexico, though, but every country. If the U.S. did begin a large campaign to find and deport illegal immigrants, the international respone would be horrendous, at a time when we can least afford it. But, I take it we're in agreement that such a program would be a Bad Idea.
And yes, many illegal immigrants do pay taxes, even if they don't file. Payroll taxes (social security) are automatically withheld for any wage workers. Sure, many are paid under the table, but I think that is not the norm. Besides, taxes or no, they are still contributing to society, and at the very least that should be recognized and be a mitigating circumstance when considering their status.
The problem is that our current immigration laws don't allow for nearly enough immigrant workers (everything from farm workers to computer engineers) as businesses need.
Apostrophe-s on Plurals (Meme Talk Post)
i use lower case i on the internet. But that expresses more meaning. I am being diminutive and casual. However, when you fuck with apostrophes you are just failing. Nothing added to the language. Only confusion.
i like apostrophe errors, it helps to show when someone is retarded or lazy.
Worst i ever saw... in my SCHOOL ffs... Mar's Bar's: 30p
That's not the beautiful evolution of language, that's just retarded. It shouldn't even BE a plural unless they are selling them in pairs.
