Does anyone realize or even care that many Mexicans try to come here legally & get turned down 4 no reason?

Question

Do you guys realize that many illegal immmigrants have tax id's and pay taxes?

Why do you want to lump them all in one basket and accuse them of stealing our tax $$$ when you don't know for sure who is legal and who is not, who pays taxes and who doesn't?

To Wolf - do you honestly think our money-hungry government is going to search out and deport illegals WHO ARE PAYING TAXES? I can name at least 5 people off the top of my head who came here LEGALLY with a 6 mo. work visa, obtained a SSN & have been working & paying taxes for years who are now ILLEGAL because their Visa has expired. No way is our government going to deport them.

To Zoe - I've actually seen the tax returns for many illegals because of the business I work in. They have to be verified as well so they are real.

To United We Stand - this person I know nothing about is my husband. His "crime" was over-staying his previous visa. He went back to Mexico and I filed for a fiance Visa for him. Our government did backgrond checks on him here and in Mexico. He has no criminal record. He is fully bilingual. He had a job and me & my son (a family) waiting for him when he returned. His Visa was denied. He became "illegal" by risking his life to come back home to us and is now a productive, law-abiding legal permanent resident of this country who has an executive-level job I might add.

Answer 1

It is a well documented fact that there are approximately 12,000,000 illegal immigrants in the United States today. It is also well documented that their labor does not cover their social cost like medical and education for their children. We get cheap strawberries, but at what cost? Most don’t pay taxes because their employers pay them under the table to avoid problems with Immigrations.

Unfortunately, the people trying to do it right are turned down because the United States is already flooded with people that chose the illegal route and got away with it. Too bad isn't it? We can't let in the law abiding because of the law breakers—makes you wonder doesn’t it???

Having said all of that I still believe all people including illegal immigrants must be treated fairly and with respect.

Answer 2

I see more Hispanics that are illegal than you can imagine.
I work for the DMV and they come in all the time to get ID cards.
Once they have those they can get free medical care and get on
DHS help, unfortunately they illegal ones make it harder for the legals ones to get what they need. We end up paying for the illegals to get that medical care and other help by OUR PAYING TAXES they do not pay taxes if they are illegal. I have seen so many fake documents and yes they are probably sold by lazy Americans who want to make a fast buck. If only one of theose illegals would come forward and tell what they know even if it meant being deported then we could put a stop to at least a portion of the illegals getting trhough.

Answer 3

There are also illegal ones who pay taxes. All they have to do is file taxes and get a tax id number. I know people who do that. But everyone cares about the mexicans who probably pay more taxes then the WHITE TRASH people who sit on their butts all day and don't pay nothing. Or the Russians who come here and get vouchers for cars and homes, and get all the help in the world. Oh and get food stamps but drive brand new SUV's.

Answer 4

No, i DON'T care! If they are 'turned down', then there is a reason for that. What do you think would happen to this country if we let just anybody and everybody come here? There would soon cease to be an america as we know it! This is what is already happening with the illegals! They break all our laws,then think they are entitled to our benefits that ONLY belong to our legal citizens! And, WHY? Because there is now such a great number of illegals,that they think they can coerce,and intimidate us into giving in to their demands!

Answer 5

Our government would let in anyone who had a clean record. These people, which you probably know nothing about, just might have some sort of criminal record. Besides the fact, we have so many illegals and other people who are trying to get here legally - we can't take in everyone. Plain and simple.

Answer 6

Do you realize that many more people try to come here legally from other countries that also get turned down?

Do you realize that paying taxes doesn't give someone the right to break a law, especially when many millions of good people all over the world are following the rules and waiting until they can come legally?

It's easy to tell who is legal and who is not. Legal people are legal citizens, or legal residents. Once you separate out those people, you are left with illegal immigrants.

Allowing one crime just allows people to think they can break any other law as long as they don't get caught. Go to any neighborhood with illegal immigrants and see how many shopping carts you see - do you think the people bought those carts? They stole them from the Supermarket!! And one illegal immigrant ran into my brother in law's car last week - he wasn't insured of course. Another ran into the car of my LEGAL citizen Mexican friend and her family and killed her LEGAL citizen Mexican grandmother. People who are willing to break immigration laws are willing to break other laws and cause harm and death in other peoples' families.

Answer 7

The government doesn't have to give a reason to turn down an immigration request - the applicant doesn't have a right to come here, only to apply.

Our government tries to balance the number of people immigrating against our infrastructure to ensure our services are not overwhelmed. They try to ensure that the people coming in will be useful to the country, by checking skills and background. And they try to ensure we are ethnically diverse, by setting quotas on different countries. Do you realize for example that most European countries are barred from the annual green card lottery because we have too many Caucasian immigrants?

Answer 8

Have you met an illeagal immagrant who pays taxes? Because that would be a brilliant way to catch them. Illeagal immagrants cannot pay taxes as they don't have a SS# or a Work Visa Tax ID. A small amount of money returns to the US through sales tax when and if illeagals spend money here but I doubt that even those who found some way to pay taxes for their income are sending back the sales tax for the purchases their US dollars are making in Mexico
I want to accuse them of stealing our Tax Dollars because it bothers me when people steal things from me. You're right though, we need to be sure. Lets send all the illeagals home so we can be sure that the people who are working in the US aren't breaking the law. Because not breaking the law is cool

Answer 9

thats because to many r here illegal .how can you let the legal ones in until you get the illegal one out.the over population of mexicans is driving down the wages. road crews paid 15.00 per hour 15 years ago. now you can get 2 mexicans for that. we have to take care of r own people first. everyone says they do the jobs no one wants to do.but what they do is drive down the wages so no one wants to do the job for that wage.i loved working on the road crew for 15.00 an hour.but im not going to do it for 7.00 hour.if a company needs people that will pay to get them.if theres to many people the company does not have to pay good wages to find them.

Answer 10

If they're here illegally, and we let them stay, what does that say about our legal system? It would encourage others to come to the US illegally. It also isn't fair to all of the legal immigrants in the US.
We need to limit the # of immigrants we let into the US each year or we will face over population. In China, they are only able to have one child due to over population. Would you like the US to be in the same situation?
