    Ready to do it got a reaction from scandal in Why Americans Won't Do Dirty Jobs   
    I'm not pro slavery. I'm pro keeping a middle class, and I know how to logically think about what the pros and cons are for society by having illegals in this country and what the consequences are by not having them in this country. You selflessly think about your own situation. I think of ways that benefit society as a whole.

    If you want to refute my stance at least refute it with factual information. Time after time, you bash the idea of having illegals, support killing them, etc and do not provide any reference to how that helps solve anything. I'm all ears for hearing how getting rid of illegals would actually help our society. You've never provided a single ounce of reasoning. Your posts are all about hatred for a certain class, nothing more and nothing less.

    Condemn them. Why do we even care about Israel? I am so tired of the US feeling like we need to support other countries. If we'd stop messing with other coutries, the world just might give us a little bit of respect. Actually, had we never messed with anyone in the first place could you imagine how much better off the US would be?
    Isreal needs to know that we will not support them.

    I told you guys 2 weeks ago, "Stick a fork in Cain. He has no chance." These sex scandals could be the end of his candidacy, but in all fairness (even though he was still a top the polls 2 weeks ago) it was clearly obvious this guy could NEVER be the republican nominee. He just changes his story minute after minute, regardless of the issue.... and he knows very little about any issues anyhow. I said it 2 weeks ago and I'll say it again... "Stick a fork in Cain; he is done."

    Just as you state that posts are unacceptable to you, you do not like people's comments, and you feel like people need to get off their high horse etc some folks might not like YOU telling them what is acceptable and what is not or telling them to get off their high horse. People can post what they want. If you don't like it, then ignore. In fact I think they have more right to post what the truly feel is an accurate response (regardless of how rude it may come across to you) than you have in telling them not to be rude or that their posts are unacceptable etc. Do you understand this? People comment and give advice and it may come across as rude... but it is an answer and advise. Your post is simply stating that someone is a jerk in their response or advice. Their post is needed to the thread; your post is not (assuming your post is simply "what a jerk or why make a rude comment, etc.") People can tactfully post or they can post their thoughts in a blunt manner. It's not for you to decide how people should post. Does that make sense to you?

    In the end, it is a formality and one that is out of reach for many. If you happen to be a single Filipina willing to marry a Kano, then you get in. If you're a poor Mexican trying to feed your family, it's a big ** you. Sorry, but that's not the America I envision us to be nor does it jive with our traditions of being a country of immigrants. A century ago, my grandmother came over on a boat from Ireland. The process for immigrating here was simple and didn't shun those who were poor.


    They came here for several centuries for the same reasons – freedom and hope -- and then a Frenchman created a statue that embodied their hopes and dreams. And it embodied America's promise as well. "Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses longing to be free..."

    Why? The Dream Act is for those who were brought here as children, have lived here most of their lives and just want to be legitimate, legal citizens. I'm baffled as to why this upsets some people. They are no more a burden to society than the immigrant spouses and children we've all brought here to the U.S.. The only difference is a goddam piece of paper.

    Definition of EMIGRATE
    intransitive verb: to leave one's place of residence or country to live elsewhere
    Think it through. "Leave" is the operative verb. Emigrate is not "immigrate". The child will need permission to emigrate, not to "immigrate" to the USA. So, you need permission to emigrate FROM Colombia first. Then you'll deal with US immigration FROM Rwanda about a year before you're ready to live together in the USA. You are engaging a family law attorney in Colombia for the emigration issue. Later you'll file petitions for your wife and daughter to start the immigration process TO the USA.

    Neither. But he is the only guy that realizes we need to change the borken system. FAIR TAX is better as it eliminates income tax altogether
    As usual the critics have to lie and distort. They say it would impose a 9% income tax on low and middle income people. WRONG. It would eliminate the 7.35% payroll tax they currently pay for SS and medicare and replace it with a 9% tax. Worst case is a 1.65% income tax on "poor and middle income" people
    The sales tax will be offset by the reductiuon of currently embedded taxes in the supply stream.
    The exemption of used goods will allow people who shop at thrift shops, garage sales etc to avoid that tax.
    I would like to see the elimination of the income tax in any form for any one and replaced entirely with a sales tax.
    at any rate, the combination of sales tax and income tax is the most frequently used method of taxation for states to raise revenue, why would it be a bad idea?
    People who are aginst it are those that have an interest in the current system...tax accountants and politicians that can use it to manipulate behavior and wage class warfare.

    Obama wants every one to pay their fair share. Currently the lower 47% of the income bracket pay -0-. That is not a fair share.
    9-9-9 or the FAIR TAX does that and addresses our broken system.
    It also eliminates class warfare and social engineering using a tax code that is supposed to provide revenue for the government, eliminates "loopholes" for rich people.

    A win for who? Do you want to live in socialism? I really think people are too dumb to recognize that if the rich are further taxed or if the corporate tax breaks were gone companies would just close shop, and no one would have any interest in starting new business. The rich small business owner is currently standing on the sidelines waiting for Obama to be gone so they can go hire again without having to worry about what new regulation the govt wants to come up with. What you propose would simply make every rich individual considering opening shop to say, "Nope, not worth the risk." I'll simply keep my money on the sidelines and live happily with the millions I got... which aren't taxed if they are sitting in cash.
    People don't invest capital or start new businesses to make 5-10%.
    What would really happen under your scenario is there'd be even more poor folk without jobs. It's no skin off the rich man's back. Further, he's not the one paying for your social programs at this point because the govt doesn't tax money sitting on the sidelines. If there is an incentive to invest a make a large profit, great. If there is not, the rich man is content with what he's got.

    Can't wait. I can only imagine what my favorite enchilida dinner cooked by el gringo and homey are going to taste like. Yeaaaaaaahhh! I imagine that dinner price will increase as well. Not! Many restuarants, many farm growers, many builders will simply go out of business. Guess what... now how much is that produce going to cost us at the supermarket?
    Looking for immigrants to come here from other countries legally? What does one have to do with the other? In fact, if you want to look for immigrants from other countries to come here legally THEY WILL take jobs that some folks actually want. Bottom line, the majority of the work that illegals do is irreplaceable. There is no one willing to do them and if there were... the wage those willing to do the work that illegals did would be too high for any of the industries I mentioned above to stay in business anyhow. Your proposal simply puts out of business many folks and then you not only want to put many folks out of business, you think by doing so means we can thing bring in folks legally who WILL take jobs away from US citizens, which creates an even bigger problem. You just proposed significantly increasing unemployment and getting rid of 20 million consumers. That's a fantastic idea, not!

    But that is where the problem lies. We don't want them to go home. We need them as consumers and can you imagine what 5 million more foreclosures will do, not to mention all the car loans etc. Hispanics are far and away the BEST financial investment from a lender's standpoint when comparing consumers in the bottom 80%. The majority of illegals are hispanics. Can banks afford for millions of their best paying clients (outside the top 20%) to default on all their loans? Have you thought about the consequences that will put on you and I. Yep, the burden will always fall on the tax-payer, one way or another. We don't want them going home, trust me.

    I'm sure it varies among cities. Regarding buses, in my city it's all black folks... ditto the post office. Digging holes? Never paid attention to it. Fast food restaurants... at the counter I've seen what look to be white high school folks. I rarely eat fast food though.
    Honestly, while I don't wish ill will upon anyone, I really have no compassion for a white male or female stuck working a minimum wage job or trying to compete with blacks or hispanics for those type of jobs. White folks have it so much easier in this world. If one doesn't have the common sense to go get an education to better himself then it should be that person that suffers the consequences. Student loans are available to everyone. If someone didn't do well enough in high school to get accepted into a university, it's their own problem... not the government's problem and not the US tax payers problem. The reason I appear to be so in favor of hispanics over whites (even though I myself am 100% white) is because hispanics do a much better job at hard labor positions, are more passionate and appreciative of the job, and have more loyalty. As for fast food, I really could care less who hands me the bag of food... but it is a shame that any white would have to work for minimum wage. It simply means they are an underachiever or did not see the benefit of a college education. Thus in my book, it is they who should suffer the consequence and it's that type of person that it sickens me to know that my taxes pay for their free social handouts. I'd prefer my tax $$$ going to an illegal alien any day of the week over any USC that didn't or doesn't have the willpower to go help himself/herself. As I've stated though, social programs should just be done away with for everyone, legal or illegal anyhow.

    Hahahaha!!! Have you actually seen the inside of an ICE facility? Have you ever spoken to anyone who has ever been inside an ICE facility. You have no idea what you are talking about.
    Regarding the general public not being really educated about the impact of illegal immigration... you are exactly right! Include yourself in that group. The US would go belly up if we deported all the illegal aliens. Start doing the research, learn the facts, understand the consequences. I'm no illegal lover. I just feel everyone should be given a fair shake and I am against treating ANYONE anywhere in the world poorly. Life's too short to have enemies. Worry about your own life, but if you want to help others and/or the future of your country learn the pros and cons about having illegals in the US and then post your thoughts. It's funny that you state that people don't know the negative impact when you yourself know nothing about the positive impacts and the consequences of not having illegals in this country. hmmmm... how many politicians really want them gone? hmmm... how long have we been a nation full of illegal immigrants? While I think recent and past administrations have had serious flaws in the way they run the country, one thing is certain... none of them want illegals booted out of the country. There is a reason they all feel that way, perhaps you should research why?... and it has nothing to do with getting their vote because under no amnesty giving them the ability to go through the process to become a LPR and then a citizen would any of them be voting anyhow in less than 4 years.
