You basically stated ' the more, the merrier' because they would pay for your SS. You conveniently ignored the fact that it is also illegal to hire illegal aliens, so it is inherently difficult for them to pay SS taxes. Sure, some of them use false or stolen SSN numbers or get a Tax identification number to do so, hoping it will put them in good stead. But many obtain work through this thing called the Black Market. And, surprise, neither the state nor federal goverment really has any say in that market.
So your self serving statement is relevant. Don't go changing what you said. You have, and continue to ignore the difference between legal and illegal immigration. And since your sources of 'news' don't report it for you, let me inform you that the President has stated on numerous occasions that he is all for increasing legal immigration numbers. The only immigration he wants to stop is the ILLEGAL category.
But the thing us, bobby, you know that. You are just completely politically motivated, and just will not or cannot see any other point of view other than what your party feeds you. If you could look past it and really analyse it, you would see how full of hypocrisy most of your party's platforms and especially its leaders really are.
First, Donny says a lot of things. But you can tell that he's lying because his lips are moving.
Second, California's policy is entirely legal. The federal government has no right to commandeer the use of state resources to enforce federal policy. As a big states' rights person, you should know that. That rule doesn't change just because you happen to like this federal policy and dislike California. Sauce for the goose.
Third, every study to look at the matter has found that immigrants (including unauthorized immigrants) are a net benefit to the economy. But none of that is relevant here because this particular policy isn't targeted at unauthorized immigrants. He's trying to make it harder for authorized immigrants to qualify for green cards and become citizens.
So as usual, ignore what Donny is saying because he's a liar. Watch what he does (which is how you know he's lying), which is to make it harder for authorized immigrants to get a green card and eventually become citizens. --Bob
