i've had a chance to see a fair amount of what the "illegals" do here. I'm sure there are criminals and overall just shitty people, no matter where they come from. and if some people are attached to country boundaries and their right to exist there over others on the count that they weren't born there, well, that's their premise no matter how much i disagree with it.
Now, the notion that illegals get freebies and somehow get to take more advantage of the system is something i cannot subscribe to. The illegals, like everyone else, must make money. most of them make money by working for business. for the vast majority of them, it is the reason they are here. that generates revenue that you, the citizen, can enjoy. it goes in the same pile, there's no distinction between the businesses that used illegals or the ones that didn't, when it comes to taxes.
The "illegals" have to consume. that also generates revenue.
Now, freebies. Did you know, that me, a legal working immigrant, with permanent status, do not have access to Social Security and had to get a sponsor to tell ICE that they would pay my share into the system if i was to go into wellfare? and I am legal! this notion that illegals have access to most of the system is pure a simply a misconception repeated over and over by fox news and somehow it became reality. There's the argument of healthcare. They cost the system approximately 11 billion, according to figures put out by sides advocating against them. in CA alone, illegals generate 6-7 billion in social security that they DO NOT have access to.
and in closing, i don't get the contradiction the anti-immigration advocates spew. Market regulates it all, survival of the fittest! as long as he is american. What is this fear of, according to them, unskilled, untrained mexicans?
Get the government out of our lives!!! Unless it's in our lives to get the fucking immigrants out, then please, more government!!
i just dont get it.
like i said, sorry, im not gonna let this descend into any out of line behavior, but i don't know how to STFU lol
