Yes because understanding that article would require reading and research instead of broad generalizations and witch hunts after people that have not been the cause of the issues in this country.
100 years ago the illegal immigration of today would have been called "moving".
Larger states and more laws do not remedy any issue and have only served to stifle freedom and turn everyone into slaves with no options.
Illegal Immigrants do pay taxes and are not the reason America sucks right now.
I did not say ALL Illegals did not pay taxes...The FACT is 61% that work here are paid under the table....Even if they do pay taxes how many are paying them under an ILLEGALLY OBTAINED SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER? Here is your link again....

For the sake of argument I did read your article. What a load of bovine excrement!!!! Left wing pro illegal propoganda at it's finest. Some idiot pushing his pro illegals documentary.My favorite on that page is the posed question "Are illegals a drain on the economy?" and the answer is some idiocy about Well, it's hard to answer that question because we don't really know how many are here and we need to study and evaluate... Here's your answer Yes, Yes they are. The kind of person that would fall for this non sense is the same kind of idiot that would help burglars load his own possessions into their truck.

Okay so your answer is "yes, yes they are"...
Please direct me to the data that you formed your conclusion on. Since you seem to state the author is wrong for stating that the data is unknown therefore a definite answer is unknown. You seem to have some secret data that the rest of us have been unable to get our hands on...you know...from researching.
If you do not have any data or actual information then what you are presenting is conjecture and opinion. I am interested in neither, nor am I interested in political trolling as I am of neither political party and do not partake nor believe in governments.
This is one of several times that you have called me "leftist"...
This will be my last response to you.

Yes and then you complain about checkpoints which you're also paying for and don't want to. And if you're talking about me or anyone else directly or indirectly "downplaying immigration" www.abovetopsecret.com...
plus 2 million deported and counting and checkpoints you believe are there for hassle or nazi germany HILE Furor or whatever the hell whine is the popular phrase of the moment. I watch and monitor the results of my OWN words. I said the same thing you did about shutting down the border years back. I was not and am not for amnesty, just fairness for YOU and THEM and Im also mexican. Go figure.
What more do you people want or ask? You're paying for it. Wanna buy some horses for the Texas rangers? or F-150s and four wheelers? or nothing at all. Up to you. Fork it over, let them work or pipe down about it.

Most illegals don't pay taxes, they claim deductions for 11 kids they dont have and pay nothing, seen it too many times to count. the reason why illegals benefit so much for free and are allowed to just walk into the country with no consequence and almost zero threat of deportation is that Obama HATES America,he won't even say the pledge of allegiance. Obama is a traitor, pure and simple, he is against America and Americans, he is pro illegal immigration and refuses to guard the border,illegally.

And some of those immigrants also collect a "refugee" stipend, a type of welfare. The US has no problem helping others out, just not those who are already in the system. When is the last time you were offered an interest free loan to start a business?edit on 13-1-2014 by jrod because: (no reason given)
