Hi,
On a talk show recently a caller said the illegals come here for a better life. What no one wants to mention is that studies have shown that 60% of them end up on our welfare system and put a huge burden on the health care system, not to mention the cost of housing many of them in prisoners.
At the same time Acorn has taught something like another 10% or so how to work with phony social security numbers, move to three or four jobs per year, then actually file US tax returns. Seems if one is in a low enough bracket, the government will send you a refund each year that is more than what was withheld from your paycheck so they will get 3-4 of those checks. To many that is indeed a better life.....on at the cost of the taxpayers both in AZ and around the country when it comes to the tax refunds.
I do not understand what part of "illegal" people fail to understand. I spoke with a Greek immigrant Friday who is just as upset as the folks in AZ. He feels he played by the rules, applied for citizenship, works hard and pays his taxes, leaned the language and all he asked for is a chance.....not a handout.
Apparently the federal government, or some in the government anyway, seem to ignore the need to secure the border, ignore the immigration rules, ignore the enforcement of the laws penalizing employers, for their own political gain. Those laws served our country well for over 150 years. Now it seems that certain politicians would much prefer to exploit the illegals, and ignore the law for their own political gain.
