Illegal immigrants in Oxford (Penn, Mexico: sales, credit, income)

[myopinion2010]

I have noticed that Oxford has been taken over by illegal immigrants. Almost nine out of ten people you see on the streets are mexican. They even opened stores and restaurants. This must be due to the presence of those mushroom farms in Oxford that only hire illegal mexican. Don't be fooled by the "they do work that american won't do". They make aprox. $135 a day for 8 hours and the working conditions are not bad at all. On top of that they don't pay taxes on that money. Every mexican family has an average of 4 children, and they receive federal and state assistance for them. Something has to be done to stop this invasion.

How do you know they are illegals? If they have opened stores and businesses then they have to provide municipal compliance, etc. Did you ever stop to think that the Mexicans are living there because it provides them an opportunity to live and work in a nice community on the way to becoming citizens?

Maybe a very small number of them are here legally, but the majority are not. You can open a business with an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) provided by the IRS to persons that can't obtain a SSN. I understand why they are coming to the U.S. and want to live and work in a nice community blah, blah, blah, but you know most of them don't play by the rules. They don't contribute to the community. In other words, they don't pay taxes, you know that. I'm not talking about the sales taxes that everyone pays. I'm talking about Federal and Local Taxes. They won't file a tax return UNLESS they get a refund. They even go further and cheat on their tax return claiming children in Mexico as if they were here in the U.S. so they would get $1,000 per child (Child Tax Credit and Addditional Child Tax Credit). Every year the IRS pays almost 2 billion dollars in Child Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit to illegal alliens. As for the "Legal Residents" that you are talking about, I can tell you that many of them came here illegally and even though they're here legally now, they have not lost their ways. I've heard of Latino "Notaries" and "Tax Preparers" issuing fake documents like W-2s to make them eligible for a tax refund. Those running Tag services sell license plates to people without the required documentation to prove their identity and legal status. I'm sure you are very familiar with all this. I don't believe this is the RIGHT WAY to become a citizen of the United States of America.

It sounds like you 'know' a lot - are you a self-hating illegal immigrant???

[Young Herman]

Yes, these illegals are living pretty damn good, while the average stupid American thing they are some down trodden oppressed people though. They are all employed, making money under the table (not paying taxes), and have a roof over their head, all white being CRIMINALS. The retarded politicians are crying about not collecting enough taxes, well what do they expect when a large percentage of the workforce is illegal immigrants not paying taxes?

[myopinion2010]

No, I'm not. It's not about hating anybody. Get the point.

why all the anger at the illegals? if they aren't paing taxes, isn't that on the employers? isn't it the "legal American" businessman you should have an issue with???
btw, about $7billion a year is paid into just social security by illegals paying taxes (m oney they'll never collect as its under false ssn's....so they do pay more than just sales taxes....and in their income range they really wouldn't be pating any federal income taxes anyway.
