[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Sadly, then you couldn't get it. We have all kinds of laws that we must abide by, immigration is just one area.

I'm really glad that not all people think like you. Or else we'd still have slavery, segregation, and women without access to birth control dying from back-alley abortions.[/quote]

How does expecting people to enter this country legally (even if they are hard-working upstanding citizens of their country of birth) and thus abide by our laws equate to sanctioning slavery, segregation, abortion, etc?  You sound like an idiot.[/quote]

Not the PP, but you clearly do not get it. Slavery and segregation were legal, while abortion was illegal. So laws can and do change over time. Our immigration laws have changed multiple times.  Who knows what the law will be in 20 years?

I am not against immigration, legal or illegal. They are seeking the same opportunities my fore fathers did (who came here before there was a "USA" and therefore no  immigration laws). I know that illegal immigration does hurt some - like legal construction workers who don't get hired because they want to be paid more than an illegal. My response? Go into an industry that pays more. Construction work (most of it) is manual labor that requires little skill, and therefore is (and should be) low paying. Illegals also pay many taxes - they rent apartments and homes, so property taxes are paid for through their rent, they pay sales tax on almost everything they buy, gasoline tax... all that is missing is income tax. And most make so little, they wouldn't have any income tax. [b]To get financial assistance, you need a SSN[/b]. They don't have one. So more than likely they are not getting any government assistance.[/quote]

Get your head out of the sand. Illegals aquire SSN quite easily. It's called stealing SSN's. Hear of identity theft? Sometimes illegals go by many different names, a fact. [/quote]
