Good point. We pay for illegal immigrants, one way or another.

The House bill is designed to eliminate these flaws -- make the penalties mean something and fully fund enforcement, on both the border and the workplace.

Where's the money coming from to "fully fund enforcement"? Not a dime more out of my pocket, I tell you. But don't let me stop you from donating of your own free will.

You would rather do without immigration and workplace enforcement, then? This is not an issue with you?

If it can't be done with the money I'm already paying to fund the behemoth in D.C., then I can very well do without. Half the people where I live speak Spanish most of the time anyway, and very few of them are Mexican.

Are you saying that I should vote for a quasi-defeatocrat instead?

Didn't you learn what 'voting' and 'democracy' meant in high school or college...

...you know, where a voter is supposed to vote for the candidate that best represents their issues?

I guess that in your world, one must vote for the candidate that doesn't represent your issues.

Rather than insult people here, why not put the blame where it belongs? On the RINO politicans who want to give our country away. If they wanted our votes, they shouldn't have alienated their base. With all the faxes, emails, phone calls, and bricks sent to Congress this last year, they can't use the excuse that they didn't know! The House knew, so the Senate and WH must've known as well but didn't care what we wanted. That attitude has its consequences.

Very interesting theory. Since I don't know very much about the checks and procedures of the Social Security Administration, I can't dispute what you have offered. But it does seem to me that if Social Security can determine a number account to be bogus at payout time, it should be able to determine that number account to be bogus at collection time. No?

I guess as long as the money is rolling in, the trust doesn't mind the abuse?
