Why is it that the foreigners get all the money?! Why don't they have to pay taxes for all those years?! I'm not racist or anything. I love all people, but I have a slight problem with this. They get things handed to them while I have to bend over backwards just to make ends meet and I have been here my whole life! What gives? Seriously, dude!

Its the US government that makes up this crap, why I dont know. I worked along side a guy from Laos and another from Central America, I enjoyed working with them but after I found out they were tax-exempt for the first 7 years I freaked. Not just their first 7 years, but actual work hours that added up to 7 years, so this would mean what? 10-15 actual years here working without having to pay income taxes of any kind, and they recieved a larger tax return then I did, what the fuc*!. The story I was told is they give this luxury to people from countries the US has invaded or somehow was affected during times of war in the past, when were we at war with Central America? And how many people in this country are working under these agreements? And to top that off, these guys got free schooling,college, something I could never afford and still cannot. Nothings fair, life is not fair, but this crap is just sad. One of these guys is dead, but the other is a computer engineer that had his long expensive education paid for by you and me, along with alot of other things. I now drive semi and enjoy it and make great money but I still see crap like this now with Mexicans getting special treatment through trucking school, interest-free leases on new rigs, and having that bogus affirmative action still in effect really brings the quality and safety of the trucking industry down. And wheather you vote republican or democrat we are screwed either way, no politican cares about the American middle-class worker, LOU DOBBS for President!

No I agree. I work 2 jobs and my wife works one. I also am a member of the National Guard. I've got two kids to try and feed and put clothes on their back. I purchased my trailer when I was young and stupid and wound up going with a credit company that is a bully. I have tried to sign up for several aid programs but we are always either just over or just under. I got hurt while on a deployment and having to work while in severe pain just so my power, water, and home don't get taken away. The government is taken forever to get my VA claim going so I can have back surgery and if I am approve the most I can receive a month is like $900 for taking care of my bills. I drive a beat up 92 truck and can't even afford car insurance. The only thing that I make sure I buy is food for my kids though I know it is not the healthiest food for them. My daughter who is 4 got turned down for head start due to all the slots being taken by illegal immigrants. I wanted to get her in school early so that she could have a better start at life. It makes me sick at my stomach to see a Mexican driving a brand new car and not having to pay taxes at work. Companies in my area will hire illegal immigrants before they will hire citizens. Illegal in my area are not just working jobs that no one else wants but are taking some of the top paying production jobs with the best benefits. At my other job I’ve seen Mexicans come in who are illegal and try to spend food stamps on everything from beer, cigarettes, oil, gas, to toys. They will be driving a brand new car and have food stamps yet a soldier can't get them. A soldier can't get a better paying job because they have the better ones. A soldier’s daughter can't get an early start on education due to their kids taking up all the head start class spots. You wander why I support the Minute Men. I support them because I give this country my all and people who shouldn’t even be here are treated better than my family.

UVRay, Many, Many do and all a person has to do is turn on the TV, etc and hear of what they do get. Now tell me where you get the income you have to spend. Yes, 90 % of the Motels in the city, Gas Stations, even IHop is owned by what you and I call Foreigners, Our Gov sets them up and have them hire their brothers, etc and they all get so much money to run the business and pay for the others they get over here cause there is a job waiting on them. We, the working people pay taxes to support these programs our elected people that is supposed to be going to Washington to upgrade our lives, state and schools. What is happening? We need to shout louder, investegate who is running for that office. . . . then decide who is best for the vote I have to give.

I don't kow which country you are in, but it doesn't matter... Lets go point by point...
Nothing is "handed" to them. They have to work as hard as you, to earn their money. They too get the sack if they don't perform.
I don't know where you got the idea that a foreign national doesn't have to pay taxes, but you are mistaken. Every one has to pay taxes, unless he doesn't have a legal work permit.. in which case we are talking of a totally different issue here..
H1B visa holders in the USA pay tax. You could look up the following link for info...

I don't know what you're talking about.. Can you elaborate your explanation? Are you talking about foreigners in the US? What money are they being handed, and why aren't they being taxed? All those years of what?
