VincentBodega Even illegal immigrants pay taxes..it just that they dont file for tax refund every spring to IRS. Take a look at illeagals working with some SSN belonging to some people who are aleady dead or even outright fake SSNs...they do pay taxes on their every paycheck. Every immigrant either legal or illegal is burden to the United States. Plz dont feel that you are better off just because you are a legal one. In the end every immigrant is a burden to the United States. :-) However !! remember that this great American land has always been claimed and plundered by some outsiders by both legit and non-legit means throughout it's history.....the Europeans did it after 1500 and took it away from the native Americans and now in this generation we (you and I along with other immigrants) will claim and plunder this great American land either by legit or non-legit means....therefore I find 'Mankorani's' comment being absolutely crappy one.
