The Senate bill gives in state tuition to illegals (another perk to get more to come here)

The Senate knows EXACTLY what it is doing...and it will never
do the bidding of 'we the people' who elected them...

The march to the beat of different drummers 'we than the people'..

The only thing between us and camouflage-clad federales patrolling our streets with shoulder holsters is the sacrosanct US rule of law.

As we can all see, Rule of Law only applies to American citizens. Wonder if we could get amnesty if we didn't pay taxes? LOL only it isn't too funny!

I went back to college after 20 years and pay a FOURTUNE to get my certification . I've been paying state taxes in NJ for 37 years. If they start giving illegals FREE college I'm going to go nuts and demand my tuition back.I'm serious .

"Doesn't that imply an income at least $35K?"



Picking strawberries and lettuce must pay more than we were led to believe. I wouldn't mind an extra $3,000 a month pocket money, wonder where we go to apply?

We could erect a magnificent fence for a heckuva a lot less that $10 Billion and that's a one time cost. After that it's a net money maker each year. Don't stop the immigration; control the immigration.

I haard some more great news on KFI in LA tonight. Border Patrol is reporting that illegals caught the past few days are telling them that the media in Mexico is telling them that an amnesty is imminent and they need to head for the border.

Call your congresscritters and thank them for this.

Also, a lot of Mexicans file their taxes and claim all their kids whether in Mexico or the US. Many of them get back many thousands of $$ for they show not making much. It's part of that under income group refund. I worked for the IRS for a tax season. Most of these taxes are made out by Mexican accountants.

It's robbery.

Personally, I consider it a great leap forward when they do anything besides call other people stupid or racist. In other news, accusing people of being intoxicated (an old bayourod tactic) is moving on up the list again as favorite OBL tactics.

I keep thinking about these people thinking that they're winning the debate by hurling insults at people and I just shake my head.

The $10 billion a year hidden tax means that "cheap" head of lettuce is really outrageously expensive.

The overlooked part of this whole fiasco is that, if the illegals had to remain in their country and seek economic opportunity, they would be an important source of pressure to develop their own countries and reform their gov'ts. The US, by accepting them, reduces the possibility of improvement in the countries from which they come. Mexicans would not be happy if they could look across their northern border and see freedom's fruits, but could not walk across the border and gather them to take home. That unhappiness could change Mexico for the better--it would not make Mexico any worse.

Bayourod....I miss her.

Oh yeah, an OBL that is also a Freeper is more accurately described as an FROBL (pronounced froble). What ever happened to Rod? My personal belief is that she/he/it got banned and came back as Dane.

Many think its already too late. Politicians care about one thing: votes. Ethics? Morals? Who needs them if youre a politician in South Calipornia.

The major cost to the taxpayer is yet to come. All these Mexicans are predisposed to diabetes and heart disease. They are doing unskilled labor and the develop degenerative spine disease. The high cost of their medical care will overcome the US Government.

Import the fruit, Deport the illegal.

Well, baoyurod was banned. I am reasonably sure that he actually resurfaced a few weeks ago as bayourant and managed to linger on for a few months. It was active until a few weeks ago, anyway. I just punched the profile up here tonight and it came up that bayourant was banned or suspended as well.

A number of us had pretty much nailed that they were the same poster, though.

I wondered that because the names were so close. I thought it seemed to obvious though.
