WASHINGTON (AP) — A far-reaching bill to remake the nation's immigration system is headed to the full Senate, where tough battles are brewing on gay marriage, border security and other contentious issues, with the outcome impossible to predict.
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the measure 13-5 Tuesday night, setting up an epic showdown on the Senate floor after Congress' Memorial Day recess. The legislation is one of President Barack Obama's top domestic priorities — yet it also gives the Republican Party a chance to recast itself as more appealing to minorities.
I think a whole lot of illegals do pay taxes and SS, they just can't get any out because they are illegals.
If that were the case, they're committing fraud by using someone else's or someone deceased social security number.
I am against any immigration reform that grants legal status to people who are here illegally.All we will get is more amnesty,more people on welfare and other tax payer funded services and hollow promises of enforcement that will be gutted or funding removed.Border security and any other enforcement provisions can and will be removed at the whims of traitorous politicians who are busy tossing the salad of pro-illegal scum while once those 12-20 million plus people are legalized their legal status will not be revoked. The only thing this reform does is ensure that we have triple to quadrupole the amount of illegals we have in 20-30 years from now while politicians pretend that that only solution is mass round up and that somehow we can't do that while ignoring the fact Oklahoma,Arizona, Alabama and other states did not need amnesty to solve their illegal immigration problem.
Doesn't work that way, James. To get Social Services, you need to provide proof of your citizenship or legal residency status, as well as provide a SS card. Fake documents might get by a prospective employer, but it won't get past the welfare department. I can say that, here in Texas, there are almost no illegals at all collecting welfare checks. The only reason people think there are is becuase of the lies spewed by Rush Limbaugh and his ilk. That's not to say that illegals get no aid at all. Churches help many of them out, but what they get are NOT from any government program, except in education, where the kids are still required to go to school.

And I am sure that right after those 12-20 million plus illegals are legalized they will remove all that stuff or gut the **** out of any funding for that stuff. This will be a repeat of the Reagan Amnesty.All this will do is screw Americans who have to compete with amnesty aliens, foreign workers here on visa for jobs and new illegals and screw over tax payers.Add to that, allowing 12 - 20 million Mexican's (let's face it that's what we're talking about primarily here) into now legal voting status says bu bye to the GOP. The Republican's are being fleeced here, they absolutely can't win, so why not push for enforcement of our existing laws, enforcement and legislation to prevent illegal voting, and border security? It's NOT like they're going to win over any hearts and minds caving on this.. Once passed (if passed) the Dems will simply offer more goodies, more than the GOP constituency will allow them to offer, and then the GOP will REALLY find themselves in a hole too deep to dig out of demographically. The Latinos that voted for the GOP in the last and previous elections will continue to vote that way. The newly found amnesty aliens will give the democrats a dominant voting block in the always red south-central, southeast, and southwestern United States.
If the GOP doesn't get this, they really are a sore bunch!
Tim-
That's nice, and I almost believe that since it's Texas, but the same is not true across all states. Illegals can and do receive aid and social services.
I take that back, I don't believe that's true for Texas either. Simple way to get around it, have a kid.
I think a whole lot of illegals do pay taxes and SS, they just can't get any out because they are illegals.
Nearly 50% American households do not pay federal taxes. So how would illegals most of whom work under the table(meaning they are paid straight cash and do not have any money withheld) or do not make enough to pay federal income taxes going to pay federal income taxes? Are illegals somehow magically making more money than these 50% of American households and thus able to make enough in order to pay federal income taxes?
And I am sure that right after those 12-20 million plus illegals are legalized they will remove all that stuff or gut the **** out of any funding for that stuff.
