Exactly. And the majority of them would pay all the taxes if the
government would just let them without threats or hassle. Would you pay
taxes if doing so meant your family might be shipped to some hell hole 3rd
world country? Obviously not.

The bullshit that they take American jobs is nonsense too. First off cheap
slave-like labor in other countries takes American jobs. By getting these
people here we can garentee they aren't working for a nickel an hour
somewhere else. Second they often do jobs Americans don't like to do.
Third if they are willing to work for their living who am I to bitch and
deny them the chance? More people means more things being bought means if
you give them a job they help the ecoonomy by working, buying things, and
paying taxes.

How would you expect them to get to work without a car and a drivers
license? I'm all for mass-transit and walking but the reality is that most
of us just can't live that way.

I've paid more for others to immigrate then probably anyone else I know..
years of hassle and thosands of dollars.. so anytime I hear people
bitching about it I just get pissed off. If ya gotta bitch then bitch at
our government for wasting millions of dollars to keep people from
bettering their lives.
