		<description>&lt;em&gt; If he has two children (born here gratis in San Diego hospitals) attending public school, he is taking more in tax revenue than he can think of contributing. He is hardly a tax assetâ€¦â€¦. Comment by mighty aphrodite â€” September 3, 2007 @ 7:14 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Yeah, an educated child is NEVER a tax asset!  You&#039;re a f*cking idiot!

Oh, wait, this worker lets his EMPLOYER spend more money on luxury goods, and wasted FAKE attorneys like yourself to sue over irrelevant sh!t, thereby contributing to the economy by saving the employer from paying a FAIR wage...

&lt;em&gt;Leftards may want to re-work the â€œimmigrants contribute more than they useâ€ argument â€¦..
Comment by mighty aphrodite â€” September 3, 2007 @ 7:14 pm&lt;/em&gt;

He contributes HUGELY through productivity, but just doesn&#039;t get paid for it.  Not surprised you&#039;re too stupid to know this!  Wow, you&#039;re a stupid little wench!</description>

		<description>&quot;Donâ€™t expect any sympathy for these 40 million unborn children from this crowd. They have more sympathy for ragheads who are trying to kill us than they do unborn babies!&quot;

The sympathy of liberals is for children who have already been born and live in poverty and without medical care, adequate nutrician and an opportunity for a better life. The sympathy of the right wingers for children ends at the point of birth.

Fetuses, until the have reached the point where their brains are developed enough for them to be concious, self aware beings, are only pre-human and ending the pregnancy before that point is reached does not deprive a concious, self aware entity of existence. Therefore it is not murder. How can we determine at what point they have become concious, self-aware entities? The point at which systematic, organized brain waves appear.</description>

		<description>To be fair to Calderon, he is actually making a serious effort to fight the drug cartels. This is another reason why the border to Mexico needs to be closed. If the flow of drug money from the U.S. to Mexico can be greatly reduced, this will make it easier for the Mexican government to weaken the power of the drug cartels.</description>

		<description>What is humiliating for Mexico is that it is a beggar state that needs to export its poor and depend on dollars coming into the country from illegal immigrants sending money home and from drug dealers bringing dollars home in order for the economy to survive.

Cutting off the flow of illegal immigrants and drug money may finally force the Mexican government to act to solve its economic problems, especially the high degree of inequality. For example, there is one Mexican billionaire who is richer that Bill Gates. He has gotten his ill gotten gains by creating monopolies in various markets and screwing the consumers with excessively high prices.</description>

		<description>&quot;and they think it is just fine that 14,000 US corporations are incorporated in one house in the Caymen Islands so they wonâ€™t have to pay US income taxes.&quot;

This is a major abuse that needs to be corrected. Any corporation that has its functional headquarters (that is, the place from which the corporation is run from) in the United States should be taxed as a domestic firm, no matter what mail drop it is incorporated at.</description>

		<description>&quot;I donâ€™t know, I thought you would have liked him seen as he is the leader of Mexicoâ€™s largely concervative National Action Party. Are you saying you want the largely liberal Fox back?&quot;

Obrador won the election, but the PAN stole it. Mexico needs radical economic reform to end the grinding poverty.</description>

		<description>We should respond to Calderon&#039;s message by demanding reciprocity for Americans in Mexico. Americans are severely restricted from entering Mexico to take good, high paying jobs. Legal immigrants from the U.S. do not get all the same rights that legal Mexican immigrants to the U.S. get. And any American entering the coutry illegaly, if cought, will not be allowed to stay. We should demand reciprocity from Mexico: that Americans enjoy the exactly the same rights in Mexico as Mexicans get in the United States. Any reciprocity agreement will almost certainly include the right of each government to evict people who enter the country illegaly.</description>

		<description>&quot;#17 - â€œâ€¦.They pay taxes if they work, so thank them for lessening your tax burden..&quot;

They also depress the wages of American unskilled and semi-skilled workers, who otherwise would be earning higher wages and therefore have more after-tax income. 

One thing the U.S. economy definitely does not need is more unskilled and semi-skilled workers.</description>

		<description>#17 - &quot;...&lt;em&gt;.They pay taxes if they work, so thank them for lessening your tax burden..&lt;/em&gt;...&quot;   Comment by barfly 

&lt;em&gt;If &lt;/em&gt;they work???  I thought taking jobs that Americans don&#039;t want was the &lt;em&gt;single&lt;/em&gt; motivating factor for border jumping. 
So lets do some math and I&#039;ll explain why (once again!!) your assertion is &lt;strong&gt;WRONG&lt;/strong&gt;. 

If illegal alien, Juan, (with a fake Social Security number) has a $10.00 an hour job cooking in your favourite burger joint, he earns $400.-/week before payroll taxes.  If he contributes $50.- to federal and State taxes and FICA, unemployment clip him for another $20.-, this poor shmuck takes home $330.-. Groceries are not taxed and if he spends $50.-- a week on tqaxable items, the state garners another $4.-.  If he has two children (born here gratis in San Diego hospitals) attending public school, he is taking more in tax revenue than he can think of contributing.  He is &lt;em&gt;hardly&lt;/em&gt; a tax asset.......  

Leftards may want to re-work the &quot;immigrants contribute more than they use&quot; argument .....</description>

		<description>I am suprised that conservatives and libs dont agree on this.  People here undocumented, use fake or stolen documents to get jobs. they have lowered the wages of anyone who doesnt have a specific skill. Lets be honest . Americans  used to do and own painting, construction and other trades.  they have been pushed out by &#039;under the table labor&#039;.  the problem is no american are coming forward with the buy american montra.  if we as americans said to contractors that you will only get my money for your painting service if you promise to use american workers etc... we are all guilty of this no matter what party you belong to.  The problem arises when a downturn in the economy puts millions of illegal labor againt millions of americans vying for work.  the other thing about the pres of mexico complaining about restricting people with a wall,  he is doing the same dam thing on his southern border</description>
