   Oh and you forgot free schooling, welfare, publicly paid housing, emergency room treatment, roads,parks, police etc. without paying a dime in income tax.

   Try doing that if you’re legally here. A couple guys in suits will be at your house or office in no time.

   Try to illegally cross Mexico’s border and feel their wrath. Ironic, isn’t it?

   How can you cross a border illegally anyway? Unless you’re in a country that outlaws leaving the country…

   “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
   With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
   Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
   The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
   Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
   I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

   Based on what conservatives use and don’t want to pay for, maybe they should be deported?

   “In Congress, July 4, 1776, the unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America. … The History of the present King of Great Britain is a History of repeated Injuries … He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither … " —
   
   
   Ever notice how the Founding Fathers are reverently invoked by certain folks when it suits their purposes as though they were oracles. Yet the Founders also held opinions that these same folks would hold to be awful. How about this from Thomas Jefferson:
   “But the consequences of this enormous inequality producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property only taking care to let their subdivisions go hand in hand with the natural affections of the human mind. The descent of property of every kind therefore to all the children, or to all the brothers and sisters, or other relations in equal degree is a politic measure, and a practicable one. Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise.”

   Here’s something from a bona fide CONSERVATIVE author, examining the actual data rather than xenophobic ideology:

   “Immigrants, including illegal immigrants, are not socially disruptive. They are much less likely to wind up in prison or in mental hospitals than the native-born.

   Immigrants, both legal and illegal, do not drain the federal budget. It’s true that states and localities have to spend money to educate them when they are children, but, over the course of their lives, they pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits. Furthermore, according to the Congressional Budget Office, giving the current illegals a path to citizenship would increase the taxes they pay by $48 billion and increase the cost of public services they use by $23 billion, thereby producing a surplus of $25 billion."

    Don’t worry, by the time the right is done with the country, it will be Mexico and Canada that will be worrying about “Immigration Reform”!

    People miss the point Toles is making. Liberals needto stop watching Fox News and start watching NBC News and they would know this is about the Snow Storm headed to NYC.

    @Ms. Ima

    God that is true, remember that ex Marine who went hunting in Mexico had all his papers and then got arrested for carrying a gun into Mexico. Chained to a bed like an Animal and we are racist, we have to be the left says so. Oh no we’re not.

    As always racist republicans don’t want illegal immigrants to stay in our country but they want them to mow their lawns and clean their houses and work real cheap in our agricultural fields.

    kato1979: It was in the 1970s. I used their “underground railroad” to get to Canada when I and my family were sentenced to death by starvation by blacklists. It is no longer possible with “branch-plant manager” Harper in control.
