well immigration is sure a hot fire topic right now
here in nyc there were well over a hundred thousand out screaming in
the village for immigration rights
i have some mixed feelings
so risking a bashing from right, left or in between
ill just tell you how i feel
i get that illegal immigrants who have been living in this country for over 5 years
working for cash
not going away
not paying taxes
are not doing diddly to help america
cause they cant support us
and are not doing diddly to advance themselves here either
cause they're illegal so no major investing or schooling
or job hunting happening here...no ya know drawing attention
just lousy cashola jobs
so yeah
it helps america
to get their tax money
and get them on the books
and sorta get them all accounted for
and so on
but heres what i hate
there are the other folks
that did the right thing
tried to stay here the legal way
applied for a green card
by visa
marriage
asylum
etc
and these folks
if rejected
are gonna get bounced out of this country faster then you can say
holy shit
so they would have been a whole lot better off
if they hadn't tried to do the right thing
and stayed illegal
that really itches my tuchas
i think if you're gonna say
to illegals over 5 years you got amnesty
you should say the same damn thing
to the folks who have been spending thousands of dollars
in legal fees
fighting to work within the system
to legally stay here
they deserve amnesty too
i cant see rewarding a
person who hopped the boarder and is working for cash
for years
and not rewarding the person who hopped the boarder
but has been fighting for a greencard thru legal methods
and paying taxes for years
doesnt seem fair
ya know
but thats just me
