Sessions is simply the best Senator there is on immigration. He keeps highlighting exactly the issues that need to be dealt with.
I was to know what's going to happen to these illegals who have been claiming 10 dependents all these years after they get legalized and it turns out they only have 3 kids.
The Earned Income Tax Credit is nothing more than a wealth transfer scam to take money away from those who Earned it and give it to those who didn't............Ronald Reagan's biggest mistake.........
OMG. Our country is going to go bankrupt. I have no doubt. None. Zero. Nada.
We are too politically correct for our own go od and are bringing about our own downfall.
Regarding your request, we're not able to edit comments, just remove them. Would you like #1 deleted?
I guess they've forgotten to give the Illegals one thing thus far:
U. S. Passports!
This is going to become another medicare prescription program debacle if passed
I heard that Kennedy wrote this bill.
"Sessions is simply the best Senator there is on immigration. He keeps highlighting exactly the issues that need to be dealt with."
Unfortunately, he is being roundly ignored, especially by Frist.
The bill under consideration in the Senate is a travesty and sells this entire country out to the illegals and the monied cheap labor interests.
HOPEFULLY, the House won't cave. No bill is better than this bad crap being presently debated.
I believe it.
I agree. He's not going on emotional rants or scaremongering or engaging in personal attacks. He is going into everything in detail and making sound, cogent, logical points. Others, including some folks around here, would do well to follow his example.
Here's a theory. More than half of all congressmen (all means both parties) have been taking kickbacks directly from Mexico or at least Mexican interests. That is the only thing that explains this bizarre behavior.
What I want to know is, do their kids have to be living in the US, whether the parent is illegal or resident alien for them to claim exemptions or whatever?
I mean for example, if they are living in Mexico can they claim them if they say they support them?
And alot of these people really do have big families. They guy I work with has 7 kids back in Mexico, although the oldest are teenagers so who knows if they are here or there.
If they really give money to illegals, why not use it as an incentive to leave, by distributing it in the home country (as a "resettlement grant" for guest workers)?
"What I want to know is, do their kids have to be living in the US, whether the parent is illegal or resident alien for them to claim exemptions or whatever?"
No, in fact they don't even have to exist. A friend of mine who used to work at a meat processing plant said the illegals there used to routinely claim 9 dependents.
But regardless, Hegel-Martinez allows the kids of amnestied illegals to immediately come over to the US for an education at taxpayer expense.
The problem is, I think it's rare that people actually use payments like that for what they should be used for, namely helping oneself climb the ladder.
When I was a broke single parent, the EITC helped me get a computer and I proceeded to teach myself digital graphics design (I was already an "old media" artist), which enabled me to get progressively better jobs. But I knew plenty of people who used that money simply to splurge.
Folks really need to pay attention to this Senate Bill
It really really sucks
None of this nonsense will survive conference. The House has been getting hammered by constituents on immigration.
Bttt
