Ask any Native American how that immigration thing worked out.

Should that include the casino shareholders?

Yeap

To this date the US and State governments have not kept a single treaty, including the gaming ones in Michigan. The governents speak with forked tongue.

I think the US Govt is an "equal opportunity liar" and speaks with "forked" tongue to all.

Zee, I agree, equal opportunity liars and forked all.

every pun intended.

Yeah had the Native Americans been better at immigration law, most of you wouldn't be here. Let alone the illegals that we have now. I say You because I'm 1/2 NA and 1/2 German. So only half of me woud be gone lol. HAHAHA No, seriously though I really don't understand why people have sympathy for these criminals. It should be illegal everywhere in the US, if it already isn't, to hire them for anything: this means southwestern states might actually have to pay real labor wages for farm hands. Egads! And this might mean that places like TJ Max might actually have to hire people with ss cards who can speak English. Heaven forbid the fact that we have a national language hinder non english speaking persons from getting hired. I really don't understand why supposedly uninvolved ethnic groups for certain ethnicities get away with so much crap. Last year a boat full of people from Ireland where shipped home. There was no uproar from their community. The community agreed these people had commited a crime and were shipped back. End of story. But if that had been a raft of hispanic persons or haitians, we would have seen riots. And the groups would wrangle up protesters spouting about how "their people" weren't treated fairly. They are criminals and not citizens and not entitled to anything a citizen is, for instance a fair trial. Sorry these groups infuriate me as does the AACP with their reverse racism. Fair for all means fair for all even white people. Not overly compensate African Americans with special programs for them that excludes people of every other race then sue anyone that excludes African Americans from anything. For instance Ms. Black America pagent which doesn't allow any other race but sue the Ms America pagent because eons ago they disallowed black woman. For some reason they can be racist, and get away with it.

Social change rules

And...I posted this only because using the tax system to facilitate political/social change doesn't seem quite right to me.

??? You say that tongue-in-cheek right? The whole point of our complex tax system is social engineering by the politicos. And the reason there will never be a "flat income tax." The tax structure is designed to compel certain activities and punish others.

I think that is the very best argument about opening the floodgates to anyone who wants to replace our language, culture, etc. with their own.

The only reason to keep importing people is that they provide cheap labor--the same principle as the reason slaves were imported in earlier times.

Why hire an American when you can hire an illegal alien to work for less than half the price?

If the Indians had controlled illegal immigration, they would still own Manhattan instead of $ 24 worth of junk. They let us in and we took their country away from them. Same thing may happen again to us. It won't happen in my generation, but possibly in the future.
