Amnesty In America

Shame on you for so hating America as to pay them in cash - according to the same logic used to hate illegal immigrants.

Or maybe illegal immigrants were never the problem. Problem is found in laws that have little relationship to reality. Reality - we need those immigrants by the millions - both in labors from Latin America, students from the Middle East, AND the many from India and China in the Silicon Valley. What do some of us advocate? Hate them all even thought 'they' are more important to America's future than many current Americans. Send them back where they come from. Screw free market principles. Screw those who would otherwise make America so productive. That is Bruce's reasoning.

Makes no difference if the worker is a corporate worker, engineer, hedge trimmer, or a nanny. If they are employed, then the employer must collect government paper work - or also be illegal. Bruce, et al conveniently forget that to justify hate of immigrants.

I have no problem with Clodfobble paying regular employees in cash. But those with a draconian allegiance to laws must now hate you for acting in the tradition of free markets - hiring anyone and paying them in cash. "Because it is the law" justifies hate of immigrants. The law is so screwed up that we need 1.8 mllion illegals just for agriculture. And millions more for installing insulation and cutting hedges and painting buildings. The solution? Fix the laws and ignore the hate promoted by Bruce.

So what is this dream world? It is also called reality. The only way a regular employee can be paid in cash - no withholding or no government filings - is when the employer is also acting illegal. Even homeowners with nannies must file government tax forms for that employee - if all laws must be imposed and justify Bruce's draconian attitude.

Where illegals are employed regularly, then taxes are withheld. Where illegals are not paying taxes, well, we only have stupid laws (and those who love those stupid laws) for creating that problem. In every case, its not the illegal immigrants that are the problem. The problem are so many who just hate immigrants and the hide behind phony reasoning such as "because it is the law". More important should be "because we need them". Anything less is the 'dream world' reasoning that Bruce is posting.

Drive out the illegal immigrants - and the local economy goes recessionary. Why? Those illegals represent a most productive part of America's economy and the source of America's most productive future workers.

Why do we not let car thieves use the cars? Because unlike illegal immigrants, car thieves are not some of America's most productive workers and most important for America's future.

What planet are you from tw? You really do believe this tripe. The only thing I can figure out is that you are either an illegal, the child of an illegal, or are making money on the back of illegals and are fearful of our country finally getting a handle around this problem and regulating the flow of people across our currently pourous borders. Those illegals do not represent the productive part of our economy and there is no way for you to back up such assertions. The only way they could be a source of future workers is if they brought over their illegal wife's and girlfriends and made more babies to tax our health care system with. What? wait 16 years as they are on the dole raising their spawn, paying for their health care and educating them on the back of our tax system? The hard earned tax dollars of those with legit jobs are paying for all of this, not the tiny bit they contribute buying IPods and other goodies as a sales tax. There is no way at their income level that collectively they contribute enough to our tax system to pay for the costs associated with paying for their health care, their educations, and the cost to house them in our jails when they screw up. You truely live in a fantasy world there tw...

The fact was stated just so that those who know using political agendas (rather than facts) would respond. Throughout the world, the most productive economies are those who import and employ immigrants. And the most productive person is typically the third generation immigrant. Who are the lazy bastards on the dole? Mostly the lazy citizens who also worry more about their rights than their responsiblities.

The most productive people in a nation are its immigrants. Why are most American engineers (more than 50%) now immigrants and foreigners? It says much about Americans who believed Barbie: "Math is hard". George Jr also uses that work harrrd also as an excuse. Immigrants instead do the work. And TheMercenary makes accusations because he never bothered to learn basic facts - such as regional recessions created by a major crackdown on illegal immigrants.

I have no problem with immigrants. Everyone tends to be a better worker. Many can even understand the math I might be working on. It is the legacy Americans - those from a long line of American citizens - who tend to be more lazy and are lesser educated. But that last part is only my observation. Facts are that immigrant children are among the most productive Americans.

Be clear, I have no problem with immigrants either... legal ones. My problem is with illegal ones. I am pro-LEGAL immigration, through current legal processes, applications, and processing.

The only immigration problem we have is due to draconian laws. 1.8 million immigrants needed just for agriculture. Only 29,000 visa permited due to stupid laws.

What did 1770 American do when tax laws were stupid? They openly committed crimes. We call those people "great and patriotic Americans". Why? Because only the laws were to blame. Do we become smart - or be so stupid as to demand enforcement of rediculous laws?

American immigration laws are the problem. Illegal immigrants are simply the symptom of stupid laws that are just as stupid as prohibition. We need them and they need the work. That does not change whether laws make them legal or illegal.

1.8 million needed? OK, why are there 10 times that here? Openly commiting crimes.


Welcome to the Cellar, TheEdge44.
Shame about your state not having an entrant in the Miss America contest, because none of the girls wanted to say....

Our laws are easier to navigate and more liberal the most in the world. Draconian? Not by a long-shot.

Our immigration laws may or may not be easier than in other countries, but the fact is, they're not working. I think if the laws were actually easier (and less draconian), they would work better.

If the laws had been enforced from the git go, they would have been updated as needed, and we wouldn't have this mess. This is what happens when the laws are just ignored and it becomes a free-for-all.
