Illegals' tax deal could kill bill

Good Research, any input on case law in which citizens have sued for triple damages? I'm thinking, every member of the Chicago Board of Alderman who designated Chicago as a sanctuary city is guilty of criminal enterprise and rackateering under this statute and thus subject to civil penalties and treble damages of millions.

Since almost all of those 6 million were "turned back" at the border (the words Bush is now using because he knew expelled sounded less than honest) I feel comfortable saying that our interior immigration laws are essentially not being enforced "at all".

"I agree - massive increases in LEGAL immigration will free up Border Patrol and other law enforcement to focus on said REAL criminals."

You must mean a massive increase in legal immigration from mexico above all others otherwise the border would not be "freed up". That and the border patrol and immigration enforcement would be "freed up" to focus on REAL criminals and unfavored nationalities that would by necessity need to be kept out since mexico would have most of the immigration slots.

You can say whatever you want.

Nope - I meant massive increases for everywhere around the world - there are only 100 million left in Mexico ; )

I thought they did the minimum or below wage jobs lazy americans won't do. I'd say that would put them into about the 0.0% tax bracket.

And it seems that many would fall into the sort of "taxpayer" who qualifies for the EITC, which gives them "a refund" of taxes that they didn't actually pay... So, rather than just not paying taxes now, they're actually going to be getting money BACK from the government, in excess of what they do pay!

How's that for a racket?

Well, if you want there to be very few mexicans trying to cross illegally it would necessitate giving them a massive preference.
