If they are here paying taxes here, are they not entitled to those services, just like EVERY other taxpayer is, should the need arise?

Go ahead vote away IF you take the house,it won't pass the senate and Trump will NEVER sign it.
lol yeah bonuses, sure thing

Quote:
Consider retailers like Walmart, Lowe’s and Home Depot. They’ve tied the size of bonuses to tenure, so that only employees who have been with the company for 20 years or more will receive the $1,000 maximum that was highlighted in their announcements. Few employees meet that requirement. The median tenure for retail workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is three years. At Walmart and Home Depot, that work history results in a $250 bonus, and at Lowe’s, $200. And nearly a quarter of American wage and salary workers have logged less than a year with their current employer. For them, bonuses at these big retailers will range from $150 to $200. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/02/b...bonus-tax.html
And those pay raises..wow, imagine the joy a worker must feel when he finds out that inflation went up more than wages in the past 12 months. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/wa...nds-2018-07-17

Most of that money was used for stock buybacks

Quote:
"Over the past year, S&P 500 companies have given their shareholders a record $1 trillion in the form of buybacks and dividends, led by Apple, Cisco Systems, and other technology giants. Stock repurchases hit nearly $190 billion in the first quarter for the S&P 500, according to preliminary results from S&P Dow Jones Indices. The last time that record was set was just before the Great Recession, when companies bought up almost $172 billion of buybacks." https://www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...mounts-n886621

Corporations were sitting on record cash reserves prior to the tax bill. Bonuses were happening in the years prior to the tax bill. Most businesses publicized bonuses to get free press from Trump because they know how to play him like a fiddle. The tax bill will cost at minimum 2 trillion over ten years. Only someone who brags about being a European loyalist would think this is something smart.

No. By law, they are not.

What matters is not whose money and what it is used for, what matter is whose pockets that money is going to. I don't see that changing.

Wow! Nice! I hope it passes....we will get to see who every politician stands WITH Americans or WITH immigrants who are living off of Americans hard earned dollars.

More importantly if families headed by illegal aliens were cut off welfare we'd be saving over $100 billion a year in taxes.
