Just think, up until the day before, they were probably providing their expert opinions to buyers and sellers about the real estate market, and being paid 3% to give it.

Heck, I couldn’t care less about Chula Vista. (Hel)L-A the same.

“In case you’re not getting my point, every U.S. citizen benefits simply by being born in the U.S. The richest have benefitted the most and should pay the most in taxes. If you don’t like the U.S. tax system, then renounce your citizenship and move someplace that will better respect your monies.”

Glad that is cleared up. I always wondered what AlGore meant when he said I was a winner in life’s lottery. I wish I had known all this earlier, I would have foregone spending $50k on higher education, and working for 40 years. Just kick back and allow the magic of the good old US of A take care of things.

Also, I wonder if you would suggest that Pelosi and the D party in general renounce their citizenship since they clearly don’t like our current tax system, that ‘only’ requires a high earner in California to pay a combined top marginal rate of 44.3% in income tax, which of course does not include payroll tax, medicare taxes, prop. tax and sales taxes, among others.

But hey, count me in on buying Nancy and the gang a one-way ticket if she wants to head to greener pastures somewhere else!

I’d love to import millions of hard working immigrants and offer them citzenship. But of course since US citizenship is a valuable thing, I would want to scrutinize who they are, where they come from, what skills they have, and confirm that they have a sponsor that will take care of them if necessary so they are not a drain on our public services.

However, making wholesale citizens out of people whose first act was to violate the laws of another (our) country, and who demand benefits and the passage of laws meant to fix their self-imposed quandry, does not appeal to me. They should also certainly not go to the head of the line, period. For the life of me I cannot imagine the audacity it takes to demand things from another country and its citizens, especially one you broke into. When I travel abroad, I meticulously follow the laws of the countries I visit. I would never ‘demand’ anything from them, much less assert right for my particular “raza” while waving the flag of my homeland.

Morever, under the current tax code which provides for the earned income tax credit, many many of these new “citizens” will immediately become tax takers, not tax payers. And this is before one considers the schooling costs for the children they are allowed to bring, the medical costs and SSI and SSDI payments for the parents they are allowed to bring (and who NEVER contributed anyting to the US economy and never will), and the costs to our society as it tries to assimilate tens of millions of people from the third world who speak a foreign language and are far from signed on to free maket capitalism. It is impossible to aregue that one or two adults making minimum wage are worth the associated costs for schooling, helthcare and the like for their family at large.

If you think there is no downside to this Kennedy/Bush plan, take a look at the LA unified schoold district. It used to be a shining star for the entire country. Now, even with more per pupil spending than EVER, its more like a black hole than a shining star. Imagine another 5, or 10 or 20 million people flooding in wholesale, demanding rights, and unfettered access to the benefits of a social contract that they can’t even read. THIS deal would make it better?

No, our government has demonstrated twice, in 1965 and 1986, both time with Mr. Kennedy at the helm, that its plans cannot be trusted. It should enforce existing laws and when the flow by all accounts has been effectively stopped for a period of years, then we can reexamine the problem.

Most fraud (and crimes of violence, and crimes of [fill in the blank]) perpetrated on people of color is perpetrated by people of color. Think I am wrong, head down to the criminal courthouse on Broadway and spend a day sitting in on trials. Victims and perpetrators usually come from the same ethnic/racial groups.

But, I guess who cares about reality, there is too much to be gained from cries of racism. It’s a cottage industry.
