what i wonder is why do i have to pay for illegal immiagrants to go to school it is so not right because i'am american and america won't give me nothing for free.please help me under stand.

Why do they pay for you when they buy VAT-present products?

Quit whining and think about what you said, resident taxes are not the only taxes, and VAT is in all countries the #2 source of tax (#1 being the industry tax). If you don't like it, tough one, get used to it.
Plus, by going to school, they could actually brighten their future. Would you be enough of a vulture to deny them that?

... jimmi shut up and eat your ****ing brocally and ****ing like and not ***** about it!


In canada we pay for each others healthcare and food... its a better system... and we pay for "illegal immigrants" more than you guys

idk, y do u?

Ha ha ha ha This is a funny one.

One you are how old?? I bet you dont even pay for them to go to school. Two In canada We have to pay waaaay more for "iligal imgrants", not to mention other people Then "you" or most likely your PARENTS (Assuming you are under the age of 18) have to pay for them to learn. besides most of them come to NORTH AMERICA to make their lives better so just let them. My GOSH this is the most stupid comment i have ever heard!

you have freedom of speech...

They give us cheap labor and have risked their lives to come to this country in search of a better life. And you're not going to let their CHILDREN have an education?

Somebody needs to pay for you to go to school.

you pay because you couldn't live without the local Mexican restaurants.

It sucks that illegal immigrants don't want to move to America the legal way. I think that'd be better. But it's expensive and it takes a really long time.

The thing I want to know is if they love our country so much, why can't they model theirs after it?

Because they can't...that's why they're coming here. Their greedy government giving them really low pay.

Because someone has to mow your lawn, drive your taxis and work at Mcdonald's.

How do you expect a poor family to model their country after ours? The Mexican gov't isn't helping them, so they need a place to go.

At our expense, right?
How is that fair?

good point

They give us cheap labor and we just get pissed off and refuse to help their children? That sounds fair.

Because they're here illegally and for free.
They don't have to pay taxes, yet they get to work. It doesn't matter to them that they don't get paid much because they don't have to pay taxes.

Not to mention that not all 'illegal immigrants' came here illegally. Some of their papers might've just ran out and they couldn't renew them at the time, and now they're stuck as 'illegal immigrants'.

what do you have against mexicans?

You really think that they're here for the sole purpose of avoiding taxes?
Wow, seriously.

There's a difference between people who are illegal by choice and people who are trying to become legal.


Did I ever say that? No, I was just responding to her post.

If we have to pay taxes, they should. I know it doesn't sound fair but it is. I have no problem with people migrating to our country, I'd just like for them to do it legally.

You guys do realize that illegal immigrants pay taxes too, right? Whenever you buy something, there's a thing called sales tax. It's not like the immigrant says, "Oh, sorry, I don't pay sales taxes, I'm an illegal immigrant".

WAi do I pary for mexdican togoda school. Gud dawmit! I Teawl yew wai, itz becuz if we dun pary fo da mexcans 2 go 2 skewl, we'sre ulso nutop aying for us guys to go to schooL!!

Your all fucking not getting the god damn picture.
YOU
DON'T
PAY
DIRECTLY
FOR
IMMAGRENTS
TO
GO
TO
SCHOOL.

It comes out of your FUCKING property taxes.

And do you even PAY taxes?!?!

"togo" Hahaha that is funny. Sorry, I just had to say it.

i doubt you're old enough to pay for anything more than the occasional sales tax.

i think it's acceptable. as someone else pointed out - many illegal immigrants work for BELOW minimum wage allowing for the wealthier of our society to avoid paying taxes through under the table dealings - and the fact that these immigrants are usually supporting family back in their own country with these wages is astonishing.

what ever happened to our country being the world's "melting pot"?

^ my thoughts exactly missyd!

I think it's kind of ridiculous that people are so anti-immigrants like they themselves have done something to deserve living in the place they were born. Illegal immigrants often come out of horrible situations you, in your perfect suburban lifestyle could never dream about.

...How dare you judge them for trying to improve their life at all, even if it means moving to a country where they're destined to make minimum wage, or less, to improve the life of their children?

just think of it as a "fee" for abusing the first amendment...

The famine is over, why won't they go home?

Who?

Thats why canadians who have any money at all come to Michigan to go to the hospital (if its not urgent) and to the dentist.

If every poor person who doesnt want to get a job gets to go to the dentist for free .... the dentists dont make any money therefore they're not as good of dentists. therefore people who care about their teeth ... come to america

Plastic Paddys!

Is that a reference to Irish Americans or what? I don't get it.

Scottish people that say they are Irish, for example at old firms why do SCOTTISH celtic fans wave tri-colours around, if they think they are Irish why don't they go home?

^ Screw that.

Keep the bastards.

We don't want them!

Ship em off to Australia like the good auld days!

I wish I was an illegal immigrant, because I would have a job right now instead of being laid off recently and living off unemployment.......

I don't know why people pay for you to go to school, seriously. Learn some grammar.

We're not anti-immigrant, we don't like ILLEGAL immigrants. People from Mexico or any place else can come here freely as far as I'm concerned, as long as they have the intent of becoming a citizen.

It doesn't seem very fair that we should have to pay taxes and they shouldn't. There are Americans who get paid minimum wage and are struggling with their taxes, yet they have to pay them because they were born here. Yet people can come here illegally and be exempt from paying them. It's not right.

i think the reason u may think ur paying for illgal imigrants is becaus eu havent fully read the bill they passed or dont know the nature of what u are paying for surely our president and politicans wouldnt make u pay for illegal activity to go on!!!!!!!!!!!!! juuse how dumb can u be?

I don't mind having to pay for their kids to go to school. The illegal immigrants that piss me off are the ones that don't get a license and drive like a maniac and end up killing legal Americans.

YOU'RE NOT PAYING!!!!!!

ARGH!

Because sometimes americans dont pay attention in school and end up with jobs that dont pay as much for example blue coller jobs and i dont have anyhting against that but sometimes you need people doing the office jobs and things along those lines and the children of immigrants can do them if they get a good education.

Personally it will be better for america because if they go to school and get a higher paying job they will be helping the country.

because America is getting soft now that we have new people in charge
a.k.a. democrats

banned.

how about remaining unbiased? you should make note that this has been happening all during the bush administration, yet you conveniently ignore that fact.

Let me get this straight. You banned this guy because he took a pot shot at the democrats; however, you didn't ban a lot of other spammers/conceited users when they were bashing the republicans.

Morale of the story: everyone is biased. Just because you can ban people doesn't mean that you should ban any biased user saying something against your party of choice and not the others.

get over yourself anima - you take every chance you can to prove i am biased.
and yet i've banned people who say "john mccain is old" "republicans are greedy/dumb/whatever" among other single-post statements.
i've warned people for "gays are sinners", "christianity is just for mindless people" etc. as well.

too bad you can't read warn logs, or you might actually know this.

sometimes i miss them - but i don't read every thread. if you want to point out every biased one-liner to me to warn, i'll happily do so.
[if i were banning people just for dislike of their posts, brittneyfox would have been gone by now]

it also has something to do with which threads i frequent. oh well, no one's perfect. hmm, i usually do try to give people "verbal" warnings (in comments), but they usually tell me "stfu" and then block me. i've learned that warning with a single day posting ban does a lot more than a comment-warn.
meh, whatever. i don't care what you think about me anymore anima. do you want me to admit that i have a bias? wasn't it you who told me that you became corrupt with power on another site?
nevermind. i just don't care.

I take every chance I can to say what I think. Along the same lines, why didn't you ban the obvious spammer known as poisonedblueeyes? After all, she did post in this very same thread, with an equally pointless attitude, broke every single rule of the P&R. Yet, no ban...

I don't need warn logs to see that you warn most users. However, it seems as though warns tend to go more torwards certain classes of people - regardless of the rules.Posts #44 and #42, for example, in this thread.


So? Re-read my post. I did mention that everyone is biased - what is wrong with criticizing something constructively these days?
