Re: Illegal Immigrants Pay Taxes
quote:
The consumer is basically paying what that store owes on its taxes.
So, what does the taxes that the store has to pay go towards?
Does it go towards the roads, the schools, the hospitals?
quote:
Its not exactly a virtue to pay a sales tax.
The point is, there is a lot of tax that illegas pay.
When people like you say "they don't pay taxes", you never make exceptions or say, "they never pay XX taxes, but they do pay XX taxes".
You mean to say that they don't ever pay any.
And that is completely false.

OTOH, all of the 9/11 bombers entered the US legally.

I think we should shut the borders, this country is turning in to a wasteland... Sick of all the 3rd world violence, and disease.
Then who is going to have the science and math skills to do the life-saving medical research and ingenious computer software design, etc?
We surely ain't teaching our home-grown children well enough for them to be able to rise to the level of many of the foreign-born kids that come to college here and end up staying and becoming citizens.
Oh, did you think that the only imigrants in the US were uneducated day-laborers?

I am just saying that the illegal immigrants need to be checked.
Oh, well why didn't you say that in the first place?
What you DID say is that "our borders should be shut", which indicates that you want ALL immigration to cease.
Our borders are always "shut" to illegal immirgants.
And why shouldn't all immigrants, including legal ones, be checked for disease? Why should't all Americans who travel abroad be checked for disease upon returning? Why shouldn't all foreign tourists who are visiting the US be checked for disease?
PS. Reading your posts, it often seems to me that English is not your first language. Tell me, are you an immigrant?
