    This posts deserves to be quoted in full. In face of logical reasoning I can see all the conservatives running around finding links to cover-up their bigotry against latinos/mexicans/illegals. Quality entertainment. ;)

    As you've tried to change the topic once again, lets just assume you've run out of things to say in defense of your statement that they are not a tremendous burden on the US taxpayer. Now that we have cleared that up, we can move on to your other topics.

    1) Banking - Do I care if a bank requires an ID to get them a loan? No. If the bank or a loan shark wants to loan them money, I really don't care. They are probably getting raped on interest rate since the bank is probably committing a crime in loaning them money. Free market principles at work, helping to put food on the tables of my fellow American bankers. Got to love it.

    2) Working under the table and payment of taxes - Once again, you've confused Social Security taxes, which are collected from wages paid OVER the table, and sales taxes which do not pay into Social Security at all. Do you even live in the US or are you just another liberal jackass living abroad trying to export your socialist idiocy? If you do live in the US, you should try and educate yourself on the workings of our system, preferably before you decide to take a position, ANY POSITION, in an argument about its ups and downs. Just a bit of free and friendly Christmas advice.

    I'm sure that won't stop Helvetii from hating you:D.

    Why would they be. US government take out taxes out of their pay checks. You have not answered my question where do the taxes go and even the social security they take out from pay checks.

    Does it matter where I live ? Maybe I'm jackass. I never insulted you. But US has so many flaws in immigration law and blame illegals for their shortcomings ?

    Obamanation already has answered that, but they do need a SSN, real or stolen, for an employer to report their earnings
    to the proper people.

    Just another troll who can't read. I don't think he even understands what "paid under the table" means, which makes it likely he is not even living in the US. I always love it when would be immigrants complain about our immigration laws which are likely far less restrictive than their own.

    Illegal aliens can open a bank account with a matricula consular issued by their home country consulate office.

    For identification Bank of America accepts the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, a taxpayer ID number that illegal aliens commonly use instead of social security numbers.

    Officials at the office of the comptroller of the currency confirmed today anyone with an ITIN, along with name address and date of birth, is allowed to open a bank account.

    The bank then has to verify the information with another government-issued photo ID document. But that document can be issued by any government. So illegal immigrants often use matricula consular issued by the Mexican government, easily forged or available on the black market.

    No passport is required. No visa is required. And once a bank account is opened, ID doesn't have to be rechecked for a credit card.

    Welfare is applied for using the social security numbers of the anchor babies.

    The children born to illegal aliens are bankrupting states like California.

    Illegal Aliens file tax returns and end up getting back more than they paid in due to the Earned Income Tax Credit.

    Sure they're are some taxes paid. Tourists pay taxes too when they rent a car, hotel room and buy stuff. But just because a tourist pays taxes doesn't make them entitled to welfare.

    Oh-kay. That is agreed. I was saying that an illegal alien without an SSN cannot and could njot secure a bank loan nor a credit card. SSN are our numbers that determines our credit scores. Securing a house, car loan etc. (By the way I did not use my AMEX this Christmas, LOL)
    They are American citizens born in the United States. They have that RIGHT. I was saying a regular illegal alien without babies that would apply for an Independence Card ?
    How about the lazy asses Americans who don't work and are on State welfare and are driving luxury cars ? You blame the babies for California's bankruptcy ? WOW !
    This is very interesting as IRS could easily determine a bogus SSN to a real SSN. So an illegal alien with a bogus SSN never files for a tax return.
    Your a genius sir. Tourist stay here for a few weeks to a few months. Illegal aliens been here for years. government gets the tax on pay checks but never files a return. So where all the money goes ? Have you done hard labor sir ? At 2am in the morning doing jobs on roads in Michigan or New York where its freezing temperature. Where are the new generation Americans to do those jobs. Might as well stay at home eh ?

    It is not a right under the law. It is an agreement under contract, put into place by bankers.


    Without making me go look it up, what is that ?



    That is a valid point, but adding more weight ( illegals ) to a system that is already bogged down is going to cause more, not less, problems. We are really talking about who is truly "entitled" to the benefits more than how the system is being abused. If we follow your line of thinking here, the "lazy" illegals are not only living the same way, ( if they too are on foodstamps ) but ADD to the mix the fact that they are here against
    the law. They are doubly cupable.

    Again. WHAT Tax ?


    Now my question : Why are illegal aliens, the 70 percent from Mexico and Central America, the same group that gives us the M13, one of the most violent gangs in North America, here ? To make that easier to read; Why are the illegal alien Mexicans and other Latinos in the USA ?


    You will definitely not like the answer.

    I see it applies the same for you as an American.
    Go figure it out if your smart.
    C'mon. How can be they on food stamps if they don't have SSN. Go to your nearest State Capitol and provide a bogus number see if you can get one.
    Again your not paying attention or have not gone through any pay checks at all.

    FICA Tax
    Federal Tax
    State Tax
    County Tax
    Medicare

    Those are taxes taken out of weekly or bi-weekly paychecks.
    You watch a lot of history chanel. Ok. So these are the violent gangs, I get it. Want about your own gangs and the racists.

    So why are Latinos and Mexicans here ? If you could work then again in hot summer and freezing winter then answer it. Hard Labor my friend. Or you just mess with your computer with Moms and Pops allowance.

    This is irrelevant though but many questions why is the US in Iraq and Afgahanistan so is why are Latinos in the US.

    The reactionaries love you not because you do hard labour as all Americans are equal to the task but because you are willing to do it for less money knowing full well you are lowering the economic scale for everyone.

    I get what you are saying about the money taken out of your check that you will not be credited for - well, it is the back side from the reactionaries to pay you even less than the dirt you expect as what you are doing to the hard working Americans you yourself are robbing from.

    Problem is Americans are so hard working that they shy away from hard labor. I get that. It's equality. I don't even see any American sell flowers in the street. LOL.
    Sure. Let me know how much is the minimum wage or are they being paid below that ?
    Wow. An American hardliner. Be it known that your ancestors were once illegal aliens to this country too and what makes you think I'm not an American. Like I said I am Filipino of descent and I live in Annapolis, Maryland. You need more info about me feel free to give me a call at my cell and or my office in in Maryland.
    Don't take it personally Mr. Breezewood its all just a discussion.

    The fact is that Illegal Aliens can open a bank account and take out credit cards.

    Arizona can eaisly find illegal aliens and turn them over to Immigration for deportation. But wait, Barry Obama sued the Sate of Arizona.


    The $30 or $40 that the IRS takes from checks of illegal aliens hardly covers the billions spent for emergency room care. In fact, 1 in 12 babies born in the US are to illegal aliens which cost around 30-40k per baby.

    I worked on a coffee plantation in Central America. The people down there are lazy and stop working at 1:00 PM. Most of the people live from the money that family members working in the US send them.

    25% of illegal aliens are not hispanic. So the problem is actually much worse than you see. Many illegal aliens overstay student visas. Even memebers of the Afganistan Army that were training in Texas have deserted and are now illegal aliens living somewhere in the US.


    Low-skill immigrants pay little in taxes and receive high levels of government benefits and services. The National Academy of Sciences has estimated that each immigrant without a high school degree will cost U.S. taxpayers, on average, $89,000 over the course of his or her lifetime.[3] This is a net cost above the value of any taxes the immigrant will pay and does not include the cost of educating the immigrant's children, which U.S. taxpayers would also heavily subsidize.

    In this way, the roughly six million legal immigrants without a high school diploma will impose a net cost of around a half-trillion dollars on U.S. taxpayers over their lifetimes. The roughly five million illegal immigrants without a high school diploma will cost taxpayers somewhat less because illegal immigrants are eligible for fewer government benefits. However, if these illegal immigrants were granted amnesty and citizenship, as proposed by the Bush Administration and legislated in a recent Senate-passed immigration bill (S. 2611), they could cost taxpayers an additional half-trillion dollars. In total, all immigrants without a high school education could impose a net cost on U.S. taxpayers of around one trillion dollars or more. If the cost of educating the immigrants' children is included, that figure could reach two trillion dollar.
