There is a typo in the url for #13
Also whats the big deal with #5 as long as they become tax paying citizens when they graduate I don’t see a problem.

So quickly you disregard the poor soul who’s parents lived and worked here all their lives and their child wants a good education, or better than he is getting and the parents can’t help and the government won’t.
Thanks I corrected #13
wtf ? seriously? What about the employer’s that don’t pay taxes, hire the illegals, and thereby drive down wages and benefits for a normal American? There’s a FREE program called “everify” that an employer can use to check statuses. Thousands of corporations everyday use cheap labor, cheating Americans of jobs, then they don’t pay taxes, cheating Americans of revenue.
NO ONE MENTION THE EMPLOYERS THAT ARE ALSO BREAKING THE LAW BY HIRING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN HAVE YOU HEARD OF AN EMPLOYER GETTING ARRESTED FOR HIRING ILLEGALS?
“your worst nightmare”
You are correct. We had a huge ICE bust in Brewster, WA this past year and they just paid fines.. They also rehired the 400 plus jobs within a week with other illegals..
Michael,
Sure, now we ALL get to pay (ALL) expenses for Mom & Dad (not legal) and all the kids they continue to have.
I have a great idea. All in favor of Michael idea, raise your hands!!! YOU hand raisers can pay for it!!!! I’ll choose my own charity!!!
A better idea – put them all at the end of the line and let them legitimize themselves.
A second idea – all the Companies that YOU know that are hiring illegal immigrants, REPORT THEM! There is a confidential way to do it!
The numbers are really astounding… But what can be done about it? Any bill introduced that would be (at all) effective, could be twisted to make the legislator look like a racist…
I do agree with “Coach1099″ & “your worst nightmare”…stronger laws against those who hire illegals might be a good place to start…
Well I feel that it dose not matter about company looking to get a handover by hiring illegal immigrants. Or, that they are looking to get a good education. My children and tax payers should not have to bear the brunt of that burden. If you disagree then your probably here illegally or know someone. They have no right to be here. I believe that anyone that is hiring or to help promote that way of life they should lose they business for up 5 years and charged a fine. i don’t care how they survive, they should of thought about that before they did what they did. I shoot em as soon as they come across the borders.
