Thread: Op:Illegal immigration isn't immoral

Adam Roberts has obviously never been personally victimized by an Illegal.

I like my Statute Of Liberty saying more.

I apologize for being stuck in time,
as there is no reason or rhyme,
My words were taken verbatim,
and can no longer take God's forsaken.

I was the pillar of good,
but now in "The Hood",
please take back the bad,
and give us your good!

I once stood proud and tall,
now I may fall,
because people like you,
climbed over the wall.

NEXT!

I like it nightowl!!

Listen to all the words (Lyrics are below)

American girls and American guys
We'll always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory flying
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head

My Daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Till the day that he died
He wanted my Mother, my Brother,
My Sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free

Now this nation that I love
Is falling under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flying in
From somewhere in the back
As soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man we lit up your world
Like the Fourth of July

Hey, Uncle Sam put your name
At the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shaking her fist
And the eagle will fly
And it's going to be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringing her bell
And it will feel like the whole wide world
Is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy
Of the Red, White and Blue

Oh, justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
You'll be sorry that you messed
With the U.S. of A.
Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way

Hey, Uncle Sam put your name
At the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shaking her fist
And the eagle will fly
And it's going to be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringing her bell
And it will feel like the whole wide world
Is raining down on you

Brought to you courtesy
Of the Red, White and Blue
Of the Red, White and Blue
Of my Red, White and Blue

I know the Toby Kieth song is more of a war song, but I always thought it would have been a good musical selection for W's show.

The National Research Council's studies show that the average illegal immigrant pays much more in taxes than he gets in services, so don't try to bring that old lie up. All of them pay sales and property taxes, and two-thirds pay Medicare, Social Security and personal income taxes.

Bahahahah! Tourists pay sales tax too, don't see them sucking up benefits meant for Americans, do ya?

As for low skilled, minimum wage earners paying taxes? Please!

They ONLY reason some illegals file taxes (which is actually NO money out of their pocket since they claim they earn so little) is because it's the only way they can received "earned" CHILD credit for each of the anchor babies they claim AND get money from the govt since they earned so little (on the books, of course). They are turning a PROFIT by filing. They wouldn't do it otherwise.

They use up way more benefits and pay NOTHING to the government.

Some facts this writer and the OBL chooses to ignore. From the Heritage Foundation:

The Fiscal Cost of Low-Skill Immigrants to the U.S. Taxpayer
by Robert E. Rector and Christine Kim

Each year roughly 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants enter and take up residence in the U.S. This immiÂ*grant flow is disproportionately poorly educated because illegal immigration primarily attracts low-skill workers and the legal immigration system favors kinship ties over skill levels. As a result there are currently 4.5 million low-skill immigrant households in the U.S., containing 15.9 million persons, roughly 5 percent of the U.S. population. At each age level, low-skill immigrant households receive substantially more in government benefits than they pay in taxes. Overall, low-skill immigrant households impose a net cost of $89 billion per year on U.S. taxpayers.

Granting amnesty to illegal immigrants would, over time, confer entitlement to welfare, Social Security, and Medicare for the amnesty recipients. This would be ruinously expensive to U.S. taxpayers. Similarly a modified amnesty such as the Z visa program proÂ*posed by President Bush, would, almost certainly, over time result in entitlement of the Z visa holders to welfare, Social Security, and Medicare; such a plan would be nearly as expensive as forthright amnesty. Amnesty in any form would impose serious fiscal costs.

Why? It's a waste of ink. This was fanatical, exaggerated and dramatic. The Grims brothers would be impressed.
