[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious... And this is a serious question though it does sound snarky and will likely get backlash, but I'd like to understand. As liberals, we are usually in support of undocumented workers attending our schools, receiving services, and potentially taking slots from so called "legal" residents. Yet, locally, when it impacts us such as in the case with this post (ie legal vs illegal residency) why do we put aside our open and inclusive beliefs when it is in our own local community? Don't you think we should lead by example? I know this is not an apples to apples comparison, but the underlying issues are the same. [/quote] In my case, it's because I perceive undocumented workers to be impoverished with few choices. Illegal immigrants generally also pay taxes via witholding that they can never claim.I perceive residency cheaters to be those suburban people who make fun of DC residents for paying high taxes, and then suddenly want the services generated by those taxes without contributing anything.[/quote]
