If we had enough enforcers on the borders to prevent illegals from getting into the country in the first place we wouldn't be having this discussion. <BR/><BR/>Legal American residence needs to be like many countries in Europe - you have to want it and want it bad. You should have to jump through many hoops before even crossing the border and then work really hard to keep your residency. The Bush rule would prefer to turn heads rather than really do something productive about this problem. It's gotten so out of control AND now the Hispanic population wants a voice but yet most aren't even legal. <BR/><BR/>Wow, I wish I could have my cake and eat it too.laprincessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070963549374929309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16651567.post-1131991803633069442005-11-14T13:10:00.000-05:002005-11-14T13:10:00.000-05:00I don't think either will work, they will still wo...I don't think either will work, they will still work illegally any way they can. We can not as a country exist with out their employment. Only the illegal worker will work for such a low wage. Americans will not. What we do need to do is mandate a law that shows we know it exists, but they should also pay taxes. They can not claim Married w/6 dependents, they should all pay their taxes just as we do. They can not get away with not filing at the end of the year. If they are illegal there should be a seperate automatic payment in taxes to the Federal Gov't added to their paycheck. This way we all benefit, maybe by having them pay, we help lower our taxes by having an influx of more money into the system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
