Why cant it be that easy to ask someone if they are US citizens?

 

Thumbs up for Alabama.

 

me likes!

 

finally hopefully more states will adopt this policy. might help end the damn recession we're in. thumbs up Alabama!!!!!!!

 

 

Pretty sad, hopefully nothing like this goes down in the great state of TX

 

Fixed!

 

ehhh :/

 

I agree 100% Texas needs a law like this!!!

 

Hell yeah, end the eternal unemployement and we will have plenty of people to do the work when they have to work to eat instead of sitting on their *** all day collecting a check.

 

ahmen brother!!!!

 

or we could follow Florida's way of welfare; just make everyone take a **** test. That will take out the majority of people who leach off the system

 

I say we combine Florida's policy with Alabama's. We would sure be on the right track to fixing most of whats broke in this government.

 

this.

i dont think most people realize how big of a problem this is, especially people outside of border states.

 

lmfao, peoples feelings are hurt. Majority here we come.

 

I fail to see how this would end the recession. It is more far reaching than just the US. Think global with China assuming the place that the US has held in the global market.

 

whats pretty sad are comments like this. a huge percentage of LEGAL, TAX PAYING americans are out of a job. we need to get the free loaders out and take care of our own. mexicos immigration laws are stricter than ours

 

here are a few pointers of why its sucking us dry.

The costs of illegal immigration to the taxpayer are numerous, but the largest costs are education of their children, emergency medical care and incarceration for those arrested for crimes. Despite being ineligible, some illegal aliens also get welfare the same way they get jobs: with identity documents falsely identifying them as U.S. citizens. In addition, if they have U.S.-born children, they may collect welfare assistance in the name of those children. The annual net cost of illegal immigrants (after subtracting their tax payments) to the American taxpayer is likely to be more than $45 billion. Our recent study of the net fiscal “Costs of illegal immigration to Californians” estimated the partial costs at $10.5 billion in that state alone.


According to a study in 1996 of the costs of illegal immigration by Rice Univ. economist, Dr. Donald Huddle, illegal aliens were displacing roughly 730,000 American workers every year, at a cost of about $4.3 billion a year, and the supply of cheap labor depresses the wages and working conditions of the working poor. The approximate doubling of the illegal alien population since the time of that estimate means that the number of jobs lost to American workers and the costs of displacement would also likely have more than doubled.

^^^ This is a study in 1996 think how bad it is now. Also when you have Legal citizens that could be getting the job but are getting beat out by people that will work for less because they dont have to pay anything to the government... How is that right???


There is a list of several million eligible people waiting to be legally admitted as immigrants to our country; some of them have been on that list for many years waiting for one of the numerically limited visas to become available. Illegal immigration makes a mockery of those people's adherence to the rules and of our country's sovereignty.

Just a couple pointers for you. Looking at it from right and wrong aspect alone should be enough for everyone to jump on board and stop letting illegals enter like they do and have more freedoms that citizens of the US.

If everyone started entering legally then the number of visa's would have to go up and people that are entering propperly would be the right taxes and required to follow the same laws as everyone else.

Just my .02

 

^^ best quote in the thread. me and you are on the same page brother!!!!!

 

Amen rabbidog, I was just too lazy to bring up the countless studies. I've found most people who see no problem with illegal immigrants are lacking a moral compass to begin with so there isn't any point in trying to guide them. Glad to see I'm not the only one who is pissed about what's going on in our country
