Re: Edwards is dropping out of Pres race (?)
Who says they don't pay taxes?
All due respect to your grandfather but until he joins Itfactor what does he matter in this conversation? He certainly doesn't hold weight with me.
Opening the borders for legal work is a good thing. Not doing so is what is costing us money and it is increasing crime which is the reason for what i'm doing right now.
A lot of these people are legalizing themselves by stealing identities and paying taxes under the assumed identies. They lead normal lives and have kids here which makes them hard to deport.
They are here for a better life. And I think that anyone that has ever seen a Brazillian shanty town or a Mexican slum would understand. I would do the exact same thing. Not to mention that they are doing the jobs you wouldn't do which is a basic need.
They should have the same amount of freedom to work and roam this continent as in Europe. The US is a major cause of the poverty a lot of Central, South Americans and Mexicans feel and have.
Also, the IRS and Immigration do not talk to each other at all. If your identity is stolen and they pay taxes the IRS won't do anything to help you and you don't have the right to change your SSN. Nor will they share that information with immigration, other Federal, or any state authorities.
Also, many cannot get jobs and resort to joining gangs as a way of survivial. Violent as it is, it is still a better option for them then where they came from.
Lastly, a great many are born in slums and have no state issued birth certificates. Which means they could never get a visa. Did you know this? Why wouldn't they want to escape that? Wouldn't you?
And seeing as they just want a better life why not give them a legal chance to do that instead keeping them in a constant catch 22. If mexicans were white it wouldn't be an issue to open the border. Not even black folks like yourself would complain.
