Here's a question, why do the illegal people in OUR country think they should beable to get a free ride on our buck!! If they pay back taxes and what not then fine all is good....but why does our governement allow them to get food stamps, medical assistance, and any other form of government aid? If our government STOPPED this than the bracket for income would go up and the LEGIT PAYING tax payers would be able to qualify for the assistance that they pay into and NEED such as MEDICAL CARE and anything else!!
EXAMPLE: you make 20,000.00 or less a year to qualify for a medical card....which most illegals do so they get it
an average tax paying citizen with NO INSURANCE makes 25,000 a year......
so the goverment will give it to the ILLEGAL since he qualifies and average american JOe will not get it since he does not qualify!!
Do you think they should ban illegals from getting assistance so the bracket might go up to 30,000 and REAL AMERICANS can get the assistance they need?

"Why do illegal aliens think they should stay and NOT PAY TAXES or back taxes!!?"
Why? Because they don't want to let go of any money that’s why!
As for public benefits... I think they should disallow illegal aliens from applying for benefits and should track all the illegal aliens who are here that apply for benefits with their US Born children. But then again... since in most illegal alien households the mother doesn't work and stays home with their 3 US Born children then she might as well just have another kid for more food stamps right?
Here in LAS VEGAS where I live over half the children in the school district are Hispanic. There are some schools where 70% of the kids get free or reduced lunches and most of these schools are nearly all Hispanic and have a high rate of children who aren't proficient in English. I don't want kids to go hungry BUT I also don't think these people should have children if they can't pay to feed them. I'm a single mom and I have never taken state benifits!
Las Vegas also has some of the highest auto insurance rates in the country because we have so many illegal aliens driving around uninsured.

Now u know that if they had to pay taxes they would not have a "Better life".. it is our DUTY to give them whatever they want or haven't u heard that lately. and u know they don't get welfare.. i guess that's why when u go to any WELFARE office, u see more of them than anyone else. If they had to pay taxes they would not have enough money to feed their families back home and we would not want that.. so what if the Mexicans are living better than most Americans.. If I was on food stamps and made $1 and didn't tell them, they would hit me with fraud charges and keep me from ever getting food stamps again.. BUT I want a better life.. Why shouldn't I be allowed to steal, cheat, etc if that's what it takes to have a better life.. The govt won't do anything because they might PISS someone off and be called a racist and that would be terrible Besides at the rate it's going , come election in 2012.. the ILLEGALS are going to be able to vote and since there will be more of them than US citizens, well.. u know..

The Mexicans think they should not have to pay taxes because they are working for less than minimum wage. They also believe they are being taken advantage of because of the free trade policy that covers Mexico along with the rest of the southern hemisphere. We set up sweatshops all over mexico, buy cheap produce, and leave them starving. Should we tax them on top of all the other harmful policys we use against them now. How do you tax a person that is making a couple bucks an hour? If a person makes three dollars an hour then how much are you going to take on top of that. Another idea is that the government is already making money off of them. The people who run the businesses in the U.S. are making up to three times or more than they would if there were no illegals. We tax them and make three or more times the tax profit off of them. Maybe we should write down all the owners and put a certain percentage of the the taxes they pay into medicare to take care of the illegals instead of putting it into income tax and other areas of the government that dont cover medicare. Maybe instead of putting it in the war chest for example.

I don't know why illegal aliens think they should stay here for free. They must think we owe it to them. If they want a better life as a U.S. citizen, they need to act like a U.S. citizen. And, here's a story that really pisses me off. I was behind a Mexican lady at the grocery store and she of course pays with food stamps. Later, I go out to the parking lot and she drives off in a brand new Lexus LX 470. If she can't afford to pay for food, how in the heck is she paying for a $75k vehicle (I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt on stealing it)? Because we let them get away with food stamps and excuse them from taxes, that's how. It's absolutely disgusting and we need to do something to end their uncontrolled "fiesta" here in the U.S.

Average CEOs make 25000 dollars a minute and no one gives a crap. Everyone who gets up in the morning and gives a hard days work ought to get a good days pay. No one needs $1000 an hour to do what they do. but most should get a little better than 5.15/hour but do not. 10-12 bucks an hour at subway or McDs aint too bad for someone with no freakin brains. FREE HEALTHCARE AINT REALLY FREE. someone has to pay for it.
And yes the should stop giving our money to people who dont need it.

Vegaswoman - grow a spine, and wake up. You are constantly answering by saying, " where is the proof, can you give me a government link? " (like they'd tell you the truth) Why don't you get off the fence on this issue? Quit thinking with your heart.

Do you have any evidence to show that illegals don't expect to pay fees or taxes? I haven't seen anything in the news.
I doubt anyone would have it to pay in a lump sum but I believe they would certainly allow their wages to be garnished if they wanted to be granted amnesty.
Flatline, when people make a BS post as a statement of fact I will always call them on it. If you can't deal with it, too bad.
I have to say that seeing people who are so anti amnesty spell so badly does not help your position. "Whole" post not "hole" post.

Alot pay taxes .Why do Americans work under the table?Why do Americans cheat on their income taxes.Stop acting like we Americans are perfect, because we are far from perfect.
Btw illegals can file, it's called a TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, given to them by the Irs if they apply for one.
