Free Money On The Way

looks like I'm(my parents) are in the upper bracket, so no rebates for me...

Personally I don't really see non citizens as an issue here. I think they end putting more money into the system then they take out. Take for example social security. How many illegals have put down some random SS number? They're basically putting into the system but will never ever draw from it.

The big problem with illegals is that they send the majority of their earnings back to Mexico. That's a continuous drain on the economy. Not to mention that the "random SS number" they put down is usually one stolen from a citizen, creating a nightmare for the person it was stolen from.

I'm not worried about illegals getting some of my money. I'm a little annoyed that people that didn't pay a freaking cent into the system are getting some of my money to spend, though.

Hit the nail on the head there Thrash.

I'd say a good number of the illegal alien workers currently working today are earning under the table. A LOT of book cooking going on to cover it up, and no one seems to care much to hold employers accountable.

And of course, as Thrash stated, there are a lot of "undocumented workers" who conveniently "borrow" documentation from an American Citizen in order to work. Sure, they are putting SOME money into the system, but I doubt it'd be a significant number (most of those jobs filled by illegal aliens are not of the high-paying white collar variety). Add to that the crushing weight the illegal alien population puts on the health care system via the emergency rooms and government clinics, and we all end up paying more for it anyway.

The saddest part? No matter who gets elected this fall, amnesty is almost guaranteed at this point.
