I highly disagree with the statement that they pay no taxes. So hispanics don't buy anything at all in the US? There is taxes on everything buddy. Plus from first hand, my roommate is illegal and pays taxes. He got through a loop hole and works for a bank and he pays a ton of taxes. He probably pays more taxes then i do. I never said "they" don't pay no taxes. However, I did say there is a number of immigrants that don't, and I don't like that at all. I don't get what you are trying to prove by saying your roommate pays taxes. Good for him, but I don't get what you are trying to say by that. I've seen a bunch of people that are illegal and don't pay income taxes which are a bit more than sales taxes I believe. Saying you know someone that pays taxes does nothing for me because I know people that don't pay them, so we could play this game all night buddy. Again, I really am in favor of immigration and I think we should find ways to make it easier to allow immigrants to come here legally. I never said I'm for or against this law. However, I do not support those immigrants that come here to basically "cheat the system." As far as economics goes, lets also keep in mind that as the number of buyers increase (population increases), demand for products increases causing the price for those products to increase. Last time I checked, we all don't like to pay more for things. Obviously, I'm not saying immigration is bad for the economy, not at all. Just saying that if we are suppossed to keep it objective here, then lets also look at the negative consequences of it.

Last time I looked there are hundreds of corporations in poor countries charging 120 dollars for Nike's while paying money they keep in their change console in their to the workers.
If you want to stop people from doing anything, why don't you look at the government and the richest 1 % in the US because those are the people that are why their are poor people in the US, these people don't give a rats ass except to make millions.
How many corporations are in other countries? Go look at the clothes your wearing right now, where is the keyboard your typing on from? If these companies would keep businesses in the US there would be no unemployment. But instead a bunch of rich fuckers would rather make a couple more million a year put into their bank account then making the US economy better.

like i said just found it funny that peeps said no one in america wants to do those jobs.... ha still funny still trying, without success, to find where anyone said that no one in america wanted to do "those" jobs. i'll assume that you're talking about lower echelon, non-skilled jobs.

Do you realize that the government uses ways to make those statistics greater then they should be? I learned this in a Sociological Research class. For instance take the unemployment rate, im not sure what it is off the top of my head but i'll say 5% for now. That number doesn't look to bad right, but what they don't tell you on these things is that if you just lost your job or you haven't had a job for up to 8 months, your still not considered unemployed.
How could this be? If you don't have a job your not employed, which makes you unemployed, but your not counted unless its been longer then 8 months without a job.
