Just once I'd love to be able to say that I'm going to recieve a check for an income tax return. This brings us to the illegal immigrants. While I realize that they are working for low wages, they must still pay taxes if they are going to recieve the benefits that tax payers recieve. Around here the Emergency Rooms are filled with the illegal immigrants using this facility as their primary care option. If I use it, and the VA does not pay the claim (they usually do not without an appeal) I am hunted down and pestered by the billing department and outside recovery agencies. I once sat in a conference room with 3 attorney's over a $1,500 bill for ER services that the VA denied claims. I wonder if any of the illigal immigrants get that kind of warm welcome from the recovery attorney's ? 
Immigrants rights ? Why has it become mainstream to assume that illegals have rights ? I certainly dont have all the answers, but as Fred Thompson said "It's interesting that Mexico's economic stability is dependent on its exportation of it's citizens" While I agree that this measure seems fairly costly for illegals to become citizens, perhaps it's just like saying "Pay your back due taxes and then you'll get your card" |
Interesting article in the paper recently where it talked about the average cost for the American taxpayer for each illegal residing in the country. This made an assumption that the illegal was taking in around 20- 30K a year under the table. Considering average family size etc, that bill for a U.S. TAXPAYERS was significant...to the tune of 40K per year, per illegal.
Not to mention that EXTRA coverage you have on your car insurance ....I think mine is referred to as "Mexican driver" coverage......
