I hate to tell you this FH, but a lot of them don't file income tax returns. Rather obviously if they are using a phony SSN, they can't file. Like I said I can't speak to whether what they pay in is offset by what they get in the form of assistance, but I do know they have taxes withheld from their wages, and most that I knew didn't file tax returns. As previously stated, I don't have an issue with asking them to prove they aren't illegal, I just don't think it will be effective.
I'm 2nd generation American. So my grandparents had to do a lot to assimilate into American culture, but they did what they had to. They sacrificed a lot too. My grandfather was worldly, so he already knew English. My grandmother had to learn it. Their first language was Spanish, so if they were still alive now, they'd fit right in. I hate that I don't know Spanish fluently (Especially since I come from a Spanish speaking family. My moms does, but takes it for granted), cause it's mandatory now. My grandmother sent over for my great-grandmother to come here, so she was like very high on the immigration list. The lady in the office took my great-grandmother off the list and put her ass in her place. My g-gma had to wait two more years to come here. My grandmother saw that bitch in one of her social circles and new exactly who she was. She cursed her out and cursed her period. Wow! LOL
Some do work off the books, but it's not most Andrae. In fact I'd conservatively estimate that 85% of the illegals I knew were gainfully employed with fake SSNs. They'd just get a new one every 12 months to make sure they didn't get caught. If you own a business, it really doesn't benefit you to hire people off the books, especially since you don't have to. They'll work for substantially less than skilled labor on the books or off. You might find more off the book labor nearer the border, but those that seek at least a part-time life in the US, and that's most of them, they get jobs and pay taxes. The majority of what they earn still gets sent back to relatives in Mexico of course, but it's after taxes.
I'm batting 2 for 2 with you recently...LOL Through all they sacrificed, it's nice cause my grandparents have their names on Ellis Island.
I love Mexico, "el chavo" (known in Brazil as "chaves") is in my opinion the best TV show of all time, so I have nothing but love and admiration for Mexicans, but even I have to admit Mexico has serious problems, the worst problem in Mexico is that white people OWN Mexico, the middle and upper-class in Mexico is like 99% white European, that's why Mestizos invade the US in such mass numbers, I see nothing wrong with this anti-immigration law, I think Mexicans can take care of their own poor, they're a relatively wealthy nation.
the mestizos invade because they don't have the balls to challenge the white elite on their side of the border.
Yeah but they also kill with no fear of laws out there. Complete lawlessness so I can see why they would rather take their chances here.
That's true, but getting into South Africa is the easiest thing in the world, probably much easier than sneaking across the border to the US, just go to Zimbabwe (Mugabe will be more than glad to help lol)and cross the border while those lazy white guards are taking a nap, that's how Africans from the bordering countries do.
What happened to Blk mexicans? Supposedly there was a town full of blk mexicans, have they been wiped out or bred out like Argentinian blks?
I don't think there are many blacks in Mexico, but talking about blacks in Mexico kinda reminded me of a Mexican soup opera that was very popular in Brazil in the early 90's, "Carrusel" , it was about a childrens school and there was a black boy named "Cirilo" who was obsessed with a blonde little girl, I don't know the original name but in the Portuguee version her name was "Maria Joaquina", she humilated him in every single episode lol, months of humilation, she called him every single name under the sun, always insulting his race, and he was so dumb, so naive and had absolutely no self-respect lol, I hated that stupid image they gave black men with that soap opera, many bros in Brazil still get called " Cirilo" lol Here is an episode where she humiliates him (sorry it's in Portuguese, but It's obvious what's going on) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGBubPHseb4[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]
