5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their Medicare, Part D, drug plan------because they are old and confused.
We are not going to grant them an extension.
However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are going to allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support monies, attend schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our teachers take 300 hours of ESL (English as a Second Language) training at our expense, etc.

Fact... They DO NOT pay INCOME TAXES (like I said and you turned it around to sales taxes)
Fact... Teachers DO HAVE TO take ESL classes at our expence since we pay teachers, do we not? For the MAJORITY of these illegals everything I stated IS FACT.

The 7% sales tax is hardly significant compared to the FICA, SS, Medicare, and other income taxes they are not paying.
By the way these low paying jobs are typically higher than minimum wage. Like $13 an hour. These companies get away with paying them so much because they arent paying taxes on it and do not give them overtime pay, and pay them cash.
An overwhelming number of illegals are on welfare programs. The government does a poor job at policing the system, and many states have antidiscrimination laws which make it impossible to remove illegals from the welfare system. Also, there are millions of illegals in our prisons. They are also contributing to the welfare crunch, because every criminal costs between $10,000-40,000 to house in our prisons per annum. It is painful to note that our prisons are comprised of over 30% illegal immigrants, when illegal immigrants make up less than 5% of our population. They are not all here to work. Many of these people have committed felonies such as armed robbery and rape, or murder.
We also have lots of banks giving away housing loans to illegals, and I have seen many illegals in my home town living in houses, whereas I live in a crappy apartment. They also get student loans. I am paying for this! The system is designed to allow nonresidents to get free medical care, free schooling, and preferrential treatment when assigning business loans!
(I am merely responding to the knee-jerk amnesty supporting liberal who posted such a ignorant response)

Excuse me? They don't pay taxes and it is at YOUR expense? Let's tell the truth now...first off they pay taxes. Every time they buy something, it is taxed. Illegals don't receive support money for being illegal. They scrape by, working in low paying jobs you wouldn't even think of doing, live in sub-standard housing and then go to school at night to learn English. And what is this garbage of teachers taking 300 hours of ESL training at OUR expense? Since when is it your expense? You are probably one of those that complains "why don't they speak English", well they are trying!
What the heck does the Medicare goof up have to do with illegals any way?
You need to educate yourself about the facts. You don't have them.

Yea and these "jobs" that you wouldn't even think of doing were our parents jobs 25 years ago and they raised families on them, If they paid enough they would be done by americans. Business is getting a subsidized employee by using illegals. I thing the gov't is afraid of running out of young people to pay the socsec for the old people so they want to legalize the 12 million illegals to pay into to the socsec system, instead of making the hard choices and leading the country to a new system or just abolishing the old one before it collapses they are passing the buck to the next generation. A bunch of cowards. Congress should be walked out and executed every four years, just the thin the herd.

Well, as painful as it is, these older americans you are speaking of do not contribute to the economy as much as the illegal aliens. These aliens contribute so much to our country that they deserve these "benefits" (that anyone should be allowed), even if they come out of our tax money.

There is no positive. The melting pot is boiling over, time to move the pot to the back burner for awhile.
