Se Puede Get Two Years Tax-Free!

If Congress adopts the Bush plan and gives amnesty to illegal aliens, Senate Republicans will be asking President Cheney for a pardon.

Get Yours FREE!

Bush wants to grant illegal aliens amnesty while sounding like he's really cracking down on them. It tells you where Americans stand on illegal immigration that Bush has to pull the Democrat trick of hiding from the public what he really believes when it comes to immigration.

The "path to citizenship" that Bush and the Senate are trying to pawn off on Americans requires that illegals pay huge fines and back taxes, with "huge" being defined as a $2,000 fine and taxes for three of the last five years. Even with the special "Two Years Tax-Free" package for illegals, this is about as likely as me paying my dad back the money I "borrowed" from him when I was in college.

We're told illegal immigrants are dying to pay taxes if only they can become citizens. Oh by the way, they also will have a panoply of government benefits available to them if they become citizens -- in fact, even if they get green cards. They're probably unaware of this and are just dying to send half their paychecks to the government just like us shiftless, lazy Americans.

Inasmuch as most of these low-skilled immigrant workers are in the 0% tax bracket, this should be a real boon for the U.S. Treasury. Indeed, the government may end up paying the illegals money: "Let's see, Juan. According to our records, you owe us 0% for the past three years, and because you qualify for the earned-income tax credit, we actually owe you! Are 20s OK?"

The Senate bill also forgives illegal aliens who have committed identity theft by stealing American Social Security numbers to get jobs.

So in addition to the Two Years Tax-Free plan for illegals, they get one free felony. Also, illegal immigrants from Mexico qualify for affirmative action, allowing them to get into U.S. colleges with lower grades and scores than Americans.

What's the process for losing your citizenship and becoming an illegal alien?

However hardworking illegal immigrants are when they come here, the moment they become citizens, they will be immediately demagogued by Democrats into viewing welfare as a universal human right, just as they now view living in America.

Of course illegal immigrants will "work for less." They don't have to pay taxes at all now, and under Bush's plan they will have to pay taxes for only -- at most -- three of the last five years. Not only that, but illegal aliens don't require their employers to comply with OSHA regulations, overtime and minimum wage laws, unemployment insurance, disability laws, the Family and Medical Leave Act, a slew of oppressive environmental regulations, and 4 million other ways the government has developed to make it extremely expensive to hire legal employees.

Instead of creating a separate class of citizens who are immune from oppressive government rules, how about relieving all of us -- even us shiftless Americans -- from the cost of government?

I thought all these trade agreements the free-trade fetishists have pushed on us over the years already allowed corporations to take advantage of cheap labor in other countries -- countries that don't have the panoply of oppressive government regulations that make it so expensive to hire American workers. Doesn't NAFTA already allow us to buy inexpensive goods made by Mexicans in Mexico?

In addition to discriminating against American citizens in favor of illegal immigrants, Bush wants to continue our immigration policy of massively discriminating against immigrants who live farther than walking distance from the United States. America's immigration laws are applied only to immigrants who are separated from the U.S. by an ocean. But if they live near the border and can run across it, they're in.

Even if one accepts Bush's theory that we need more immigrants to do the jobs that lazy, shiftless Americans won't do, isn't it possible that Korean immigrants, Italian immigrants or Indian immigrants would work hard too? But they can't run across the border to America, so they're out of luck. (Unless you are spokesmen for the Taliban, in which case there's a seat waiting for you at Yale.)

Since when did conservatives start encouraging people to walk more? What are we, a bunch of Al Gores now?

Hey I'm in the process of filing my taxes for the past 4 years (long story) and it's going to pretty much wipe me out and that's before factoring in the interest and penalties.

I think I should take a quick trip to Mexico, change my name to Pablo Cruz, sneak in broad daylight back across the border declare myself a Mexican National here illegally and get a reprive from my taxes, interest and penalties.

Of course if I were to implement this plan I would only be able to post on FR from the computer in the prison library!

"Let's see, Juan. According to our records, you owe us 0% for the past three years, and because you qualify for the earned-income tax credit, we actually owe you! Are 20s OK?"

She used to be funny because she exaggerated so wildly. But now she depresses me, because she's basically just telling it like it is.

[BullDog108]

The rules, the rules!

[Regulator]

Gosh, if illegals only have to pay 3 out of 5, then couldn't us poor schmuck citizens get a deal like say, 5 out of 10? I mean, don't we outrank them or something like that?!

And this bill was actually passed in the Senate.

Maybe it's a back door deal to make the House look good: When they bury it.

Bush insults the intelligence of a rational person.

He's full of you know what ... and others see it for what it is.

[bpjam]

Just claim that you are an illegal and 'settle' your back taxes. Or, better yet, just use somebody elses Social Security Number instead since it isn't illegal anymore.

"Gosh, if illegals only have to pay 3 out of 5, then couldn't us poor schmuck citizens get a deal like say, 5 out of 10? I mean, don't we outrank them or something like that?!"

Yeah, I'm for thaat and more.

Besides, it don't much matter how much money the feds take in. They plan to spend WAY MORE anyway.

An illegal has to pay only 3 of 5 years.

Stands to reason a vet should never pay any more taxes, right?

[AmusedBystander]

Hey I'm in the process of filing my taxes for the past 4 years (long story) and it's going to pretty much wipe me out and that's before factoring in the interest and penalties.

Just call Ronnie Deutsch, she can settle your IRS debt for $20. I saw it on TV so it must be true.

[Regulator]

Be fine by me, at least in the case of combat veterans.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Sorry, the name Pablo Cruz (Cruise) is already taken by an 80's rock band. Try "Tom", it sounds much more American. Oh, wait...

[JMS]

This idea of having them pay a fine and back taxes is simply SELLING CITIZENSHIP! That's how much those traitors in the Senate who voted for this think our birthright is worth. They're not only whores, but they're cheap whores at that.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

Annie,

This is a nice article and it proves you've almost got it.

The Senate bill also forgives illegal aliens who have committed identity theft by stealing American Social Security numbers to get jobs.

Who cares what the Senate does? They're a bunch of money-grubbing lick-spittles who will do anything for a buck. ("Get off the table, Mabel. The dollar's for the beer")

What concerns me most, and what should be bothering you is what Duhbya's got hiding up his sleeve --Social Security Totalization Agreement with Mexico.

Mexican illegal aliens will be able to apply for and receive US Social Security benefits after having worked (illegally) in the US for only 6 quarters (18 months) while US citizens (read: you and I) have to work 40 quarters (10 years) before we're eligible to apply.

Not only that, but under the terms of the agreement, the Mexican illegal alien can apply for, and receive benefits for his Mexican (national) wife and children even if the wife and children have never stepped foot in the US.

But, as bad as these are, these were only the terms contained in the proposal, not the signed agreement.

We don't yet know how bad the agreement really is because Duhbya's been sitting on them since June 29, 2004 --two years. He's been waiting to get his amnesty, er, guest worker program in place first. Once this is done, then we get to see just how bad he's really screwed us.

[goldstategop]

Quick, where I can I cancel my U.S citizenship and sign up as an illegal. Great benefits package - NO TAXES due three years of five! (laughing) Si puede!

(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")

[goldstategop]

Its Socialism For The Third World. Oh and we "lazy, shiftless Americans" have to work to pay the taxes to fund the benefits that go to people who don't even have the wherewithal to pay for all those expensive public services. What a lovely sweetheart deal - except for the people born in this country!

Pinging you to the weekly Coulter

Not through sinkspur's prism. In his eyes, we're all dumber than dirt.

[skip_intro]

Yes, that's $20 to the IRS and $10,000 to Ronnie Deutsch. I'm sure she has a payment plan, though.

[Rummyfan]

She used to be funny because she exaggerated so wildly. But now she depresses me, because she's basically just telling it like it is.

Yes me too! CIRA is an ABOMINATION, and the fact that it is a Republican Senate and President that are behind this thing is the most depressing and shocking of all.

I wonder if I can get away with filing only three out of five years.......
