Immigration - January 2007

A recent quote from the Texas State Comptroller: "Undocumented immigrants produced $1.58 billion in state revenues, which exceeded the $1.16 billion in state services they received."

Texas has no state income tax, so immigrants pay sales and property taxes, along with various state fees.

FOUR youths of Middle Eastern background have pleaded guilty on charges including the rape and sexual assault of two 14-year-old Caucasian girls near a Melbourne train station.

It is alleged that one of the gang members later threatened to kill the victims for reporting the attack to police.Four boys in the gang of six are facing 21 charges including rape, indecent assault, procuring sex by threats and intimidation, making threats to kill and sexual penetration of a child under 16.

All four have entered guilty pleas in a Children’s Court.

It is believed the gang of six, aged 16 and 17, staged an elaborate stunt to lure their victims to an isolated industrial area where they took it in turns to violate the girls, who tried to resist.

The mob allegedly jeered and laughed as they forced themselves on their terrified victims, demanding sex and sexual favours in exchange for a mobile phone they had stolen from the girls.

For example- could you support amnesty granted contingent on:

1. Structured payment of back taxes

2. Enrollment in citizenship classes culminating in successful completion of the written citizenship exam

3. Agreement to attend a predetermined course of English-language training

Do you think both sides of the immigration issue could meet approximately in the middle, or would they stick to their respective hard lines?

As examples, most people know that the Russians defeated Hitler & natzi Germany ,but American history tells a different story. America was defeated in Vietnam, but yet again we have a lie written in our history books. America lost the war in Iraq, but years from now, it will be written in our history books something else.

First used the atomic bomb on Hiroshima & Nakazaki, even after the Japs surenderd, killing hundreds of thousands. In Vietnam, using agent orange, killing hundreds of thousands & people still die today & born malformed due to it. In the Iran_Iraq war, chimical & biological weapons & its technology were given to Sadam (was then a friend 2 the US), by the US, Britian & West Germany to carry its war against Iran, that also killed hundreds of thousands.
If justice is blind & 2 be served, many former US presidents should stand trial & excusions, by the international court tribunal.
Let me remind u that i'm an American, but i like the TRUTH !

I certainly think so & i have so many arrguments, but i need to hear ur opinion. I also think that Britian is the coward that always hangs out with a bully 4 protection & does what the bully says or do.
My questions might be contraversal for objective opinions, debate & open minded persons.

People cannot be controlled all at once. It must be done incrementally. How soon will the Feds require us to show papers to travel to another state?

I'm talking about a border jumper(illegal alien) that comes to America and has a child. That child should not be an American citizen since the parents are illegal aliens and entered the country illegally to begin with! It also wastes tax payers money to deliver the lil bastard!

Only 3% work in farming.

We can live without them.

"While 3 percent of unauthorized workers are employed in agriculture, 33 percent have jobs in service industries and substantial shares can be found in construction and extractive occupations (16%) and in production, installation and repair (17%)."

If you look back over the last 100 years, the culture you live in has probably changed a great deal. And it would hardly be recognisable from the culture of 2 or 3 hundred years ago. So what do you forsee as the cultural changes that will occur in the next 50 years, in your country?

I heard about this on Lou Dobbs' show on CNN tonight. Apparently all Pres. Bush has to do is sign the bill into law and then illegals can and will qualify for SSI benefits! It took my mom 6 years and countless tries to get her benefits. There damn sure won't be any SSI for my generation and now this!
