14 Reasons to Deport Illegal Aliens

[revefsreleets]

Checks and balances. Is Congress off the hook just because they are Democratically controlled?

It's no coincidence that their approval rating is even lower than Bush's is. Bush is a boogeyman for the left, a scapegoat for every damned thing that's went wrong in this country for the last 25 years, and it's ludicrous. The WHOLE system needs fixed, and this partisan nonsense just clouds the issue.

As for the wasted taxpayer dollars, I'd be interested in finding a way to get these people to shoulder their own tax burden if we aren't going to deport them. While we are at it, we should also eliminate these tax breaks for foreigners who open shop here but spend six months and one day a year in their home country to avoid paying tax. They enjoy all the benefits, but bear none of the burden. Ridiculous.

You may not want to admit it, but your point about the broken tax system actually supports my contention that the system works just fine and is not broken as far as those who are deriving the most economic benefit from our current policies are concerned.

As far as blaiming Bush first, whether you agree or disagree with his policies on the subject (I am on record as strongly disagreeing) the incumbent certainly has not let Congress or the U.S. Code stand in his way when it cmes to othr natinal security issues as wiretapping and data mining transnational communications. If he wanted to do something about illegals he would have dne it and told the courts + Congress to get lost.

About his only contribution to the immigration problem since he has been the Decider was his amnesty bill. At least the Dems can claim some misguided sympathy for the downtrodden when it comes to their support for illegals - Bush simply appears to be afraid of alienating Hispanic voters and his contributors who benefit from keeping wages down.

Wow. How much of this is analytical acumen and how much is just hate for a man? Checks and balances again. Doesn't the much more unpopular congress still have veto override power? Has Bush even vetoed anything from Congress? These guys are all in cahoots.

As for "deriving the most benefit", think about what you just said in the context of this particular subject. Aren't the illegal aliens and manipulative foreigners the ones benefiting most from these scenarios? I don't think these guys are even allowed to register to vote, and they aren't likely to vote Republican if they were. This isn't some vast right wing conspiracy, it's a horribly broken system, and, as far as I can see, when pretty intelligent people like yourself get caught up in the semantics and unimportant and diversionary minutiae, it's just another victory for "them".
