I agree that those students are stupid. I also agree that we should make all the illegals apply for legal status, as they are not paying taxes and draining programs. However, the stuff you guys are saying about "too lazy to learn English", "Mexicans are taking all the jobs!", and "Immigrants are taking over this country!" is bullshit. Mexicans are not the only Hispanic immigrants by the way. Hispanics are very hard working people, and most of them are trying to learn English. Besides, it is not a bad thing for kids to learn a foreign language, especially Spanish, which is spoken by the vast majority of the Western Hemisphere (not just "those Mexicans"). And while it is true many immigrants are taking minimum wage jobs, that is hardly "all" the jobs. A lot of you guys sound like the Know-Nothings from the 1800s.
Originally posted by Draenor Methane, please stop saying that they pay taxes because of the fact that they pay sales tax...it's laughable that you think that it qualifies. Everyone knows that state, local, and federal income taxes are what matter, some states don't even have sales tax.
I just came to check back on this thread after 3 more pages, and I noticed this. I thought me and Meth got the whole tax thing down, I guess I was wrong.
Sales Tax is NOT the be-all-end-all of tax paying. Sales Tax does NOT equal income tax, car tax, food tax, meals tax, and anyother tax there is.
