To those who say "they pay taxes" yes they do, but they make sure they get a yearly refund including the Social Security they paid for that year. 90% want to go home, but go home wealthy.

Being illegal is not a predicament. People do not find themselves in it. They choose it... voluntarily. If they do not want to be illegal they can go home. The option is always open.

Possibly AO, but there's that damned ILLEGAL aspect.<br /><br />Being an illegal person is certainly one of the greater predicaments a person can find himself, dangerous and expensive. You can make breathing illegal, but people are still going to try to do it.<br /><br />And other people will take advantage of it.<br />http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/oct/20/hillary-clinton/hillary-clinton-correctly-claims-trump-tower-was-p/<br /><br />The informal economy is very interesting, illegal as well, and shows how hard it is to try to regulate or tax economic activity. When you participate, you have no "workers rights" and no security for work tomorrow. The new "flex economy" is trying to do the same thing for us legals as well, with the added bonus that we get to pay taxes.<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informal_sector<br />https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2014/0608/Rise-of-the-flex-economy<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-76698004601817012132017-11-03T17:49:51.101-07:002017-11-03T17:49:51.101-07:00Possibly AO, but there's that damned ILLEGAL a...Possibly AO, but there's that damned ILLEGAL aspect.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-39628250962929234652017-11-02T23:51:41.388-07:002017-11-02T23:51:41.388-07:00It is hopeful that most are smart enough to stay a...It is hopeful that most are smart enough to stay away from illegal drugs.<br /><br />I think the missing portion of this otherwise excellent advice is they are sacrificing their own happiness on the hope that their children will have a better life.<br /><br />And I can't say I know any illegals here, but of the immigrants I've talked to, from engineering professionals to roofers and janitors, many of them are sending money back to family in the country of their origin, so again, their own happiness is not their goal.<br /><br />If Stuart met some of them individually in person, he might admire their work ethics and duty to family, and he might be momentarily a little less opinionated on their choices.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-69531131298642342922017-11-02T12:56:32.580-07:002017-11-02T12:56:32.580-07:00They could go home??
