We have talked here and there about illegal immigrants and their status in NC. Well this article is a must read. It was in the NY times, page one is not soo bad, but once you get to page 2 you are going to be seeing red. Illegal immigrants are filing their taxes, about time...but as you read onto page two, most of them are getting a refund, and did you know they can claim the kids they have in Mexico as dependents!!!

I also encourage everyone to read the "Fun Invader Facts" in the immigration forum.

I didn't read the article, but from what I gather, illegal immigrants are paying taxes by the letter of the American tax code, as they should, and we're still complaining...

Not all of them, and did you know that they can legally claim 12 and have almost no federal and state income tax taken out?

Less than a quarter of all illegals in the country pay taxes. That means that over 75% of them do not. D*mn skippy, we're still complaining.

Healthy amount of skepticism is in order.

Too many of questionable character are influencing numbers, information, media.

Lot's of hysteria, no real action; Lot's of fingerpointing, no real action; Lots of complaining, no real action...

If you feel you're recieving Lemons, make lemonade; for those of you who see problems - turn them into opportunities.

Anyone can complain, whine, point fingers - especially underachievers.

How so? Smart or not, where's your survival instincts? Haven't you spent a great deal of time fine tuning all your God given senses? What is the truth?

Spend some time on examining that instead of trying to be a (_!_).

I too see what you see, read what you read; is it propaganda for or against the humans, or intruding on one's comfort level, or you would just rather those people and your people be seperate? Veils are thin - economics, laws, and hygene? (give me a break) - Undesireable traits are observed in all the people of the world.

Good or Not - I think you need to wake up.

As stated before, I'm flexible. Now what part of the truth am I missing?
