[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love to know what the defense is of illegal aliens in the US.

Why exactly should they not be required to leave?

illegal: Contrary to or forbidden by law

Again, why exactly is it okay to enter the US illegally and then participate in government assistance programs? If someone has an intelligent answer, I'm more than willing to learn and consider new possibilities. [/quote]

I appreciate that you are asking this in a non-confrontational way, but I suspect that any answer I could give would not change your position. I think we (probably) disagree on the very fundamentals of this argument -- for instance, I understand that they are breaking the law and should in theory be held accountable to that -- but I disagree with the law.  So I don't have an argument for you there that you would buy into.

That said, the numbers on illegal immigrants collecting government assistance are (in my estimation) wildly inflated.  Now, you can very well come back and ask me to prove it but I can no more prove my position on this than you can yours. Why? Because no one can. No one has any idea what the numbers are. The CBO has said that the net costs to states is probably minimal.  So, while I certainly know that many people think that even if $1 goes to illegal immigrant families is $1 too much, I personally think that if it is taxpayer dollars you are worried about there are other areas that would come first on my list.

I don't want to get too far off the original topic so I will leave it at that.   :D [/quote]

No pp, but what I'm getting is that basically you have no answer and your beliefs are based on things you can't even prove? Uhmmmm...okay.  :roll: [/quote]

NP here.  Many undocumented workers use fake papers, so they are indeed paying payroll taxes.  Because they aren't working legally, though, they will never actually collect the social security or medicare benefits that they paid for.  So actually, "illegal aliens" are subsidizing our entitlement programs.[/quote]

Yeah, but most of them have "baby mommas" who have multiple anchor babies so that they can stay home and collect welfare payments, get free education, free healthcare, etc. So, yeah...not exactly a wash. [/quote]

+1.  In any other country, illegals are treated like illegals.  Companies just want them here for cheap labor and liberals want them as nannys, housekeepers, and gardeners.  [/quote]
