Selling out their fellow Americans for the almighty buck.

Typical business ethics.

The idea of going into business is to make a profit. That isn't a sin.

I find it interesting that the IRS gives numbers to illegal immigrants to get tax money (Typical government ethics?).

Whether it's a sin or not I'll leave to others.

However, perhaps the shareholders of those banks might consider the liability those banks are incurring.

See, for instance, this:

U.S. Criminal Code 274 "it is a crime punishable by 10 years in jail for aiding and abetting someone in this country illegally for commercial gain."

I'm not defending the practice.

I am asking why the govenment is giving them tax numbers.

Hmmmmm??

Well this is the South and we feel differently about the immigration issue. I'm in Texas and investment into business' here will sky rocket with the new Free Trade Agreements. Cheap Labor and plenty of land has also allowed our housing sector to flourish.

I lived in Arizona for 20 years and in Houston for 10 years. I believe our economy has been helped and hurt by illegal immigration. It needs to be sorted out.

I'm interested in seeing what Bush and Congress present. DeLay and Cornyn want it to have some teeth. McCain and Kennedy want to give away the farm. I think it will fall somewhere in between.

Time to get real about enforcing immigration laws

Who is "we?" Many of my friends here, including legal hispanic immigrants, are opposed to illegal immigration. We're getting the bottom of the barrel from Mexico. How would Mexico react if we emptied our prisons by deporting everyone south of the border?

I have hispanic friends in Laredo whose families have lived here since before Texas became a republic. The illegals are taking over the town, including the violent drug cartels.

McCain and Kennedy aren't giving the farm by allowing amnesty. Right now the average Mexican makes $12,000 a year and only sends $2,000 of that back to Mexico. Considering the money we save on labor and gain on investments, we should try to co-operate with Mexicans that want to conform to our economy. We have to maintain efficiency while in the transition stage to the New World Order. Foreign investments into American big business will make or break our economy.

There are the billions for education and health care that we've been footing and the question, does breaking in line give you the right to keep your place?

I don't think our economic gain from the "New World Order" will be threatened by taking a stand and enacting a real policy on immigration and guest worker protocol. In fact, I think it will be enhanced.

Ok, well I'm a nationalist that is pro-big business. The fact is illegal immigration isn't what should lead to the review of all borders whether city, county, state, or country. NAFTA and CAFTA marked the beginning of America's transition into the New World Order and it will turn us into a hub for investment and trade. We will have to police the state.

95% of Americans don't realize the illegals get tax numbers from the IRS..100% of illegals know this. Just go the the IRS office and see the signs etc.
Our politians have been saying one thing and doing another for years.
The Republicans are toast if they don't turn around by election time..welcome Madam President...

 Not exactly true. As in many other situations the illegal immigrants are being enabled and profited off of by legal immigrants who got here before them. These legal immigrants are making the big bucks selling out America. How loyal would you be to a country you immigrated to?

I don't consider immigrants with citizenship to be true Americans until they show me. Most are here only to make money and could care less about American laws, American freedoms and American history.

Illegal aliens often default on their property taxes, leaving a nice investment for US citizens. This is just one good way to screw these criminals.

Why do you guys all tell the same lies? You guys meaning Pro ILLEGALs. You have no idea what an ILLEGAL earns, let alone what they send back to Mexico. They don't pay income tax for the most part so how the hell do you figure they make 12,000 per year and send back 2000. I don't know myself but I do know one thing. ILLEGAL aliens are dangerous on the whole, because for every so called hard working farmer they let through, they could be letting a terrorist through also.

Of course I know you have figures on what the terrorists earn and what they send back to Saudi Arabia or some other muslims country of choice and that they just want to come here and blow us up so why shouldn't we let them? MS-13 springs to mind as a terrorists organization closer to home that comes across the border regularly.

The MAJORITY of Americans want the ILLEGALS stopped, legal si, ILLEGAL no. I can prove this by the way the Dems are moving on the issue, the Dems may not be sincere but they recognize the fact the majority wants our laws inforced.

And by the Congressional Black Caucus that likes dependent constituents.
