Many "undocumented workers" live in the underground and cash based economy. Many low paying jobs which attract undocumented workers don't offer health insurance and result in overloading emergency rooms. Figure these and other costs of illegals and then decide if the analysis of this article is correct.

Illegal immigrants do not pay taxes. They are a drag on the economy not a boost. Show me documented proof of any one illegal immigrant who has paid income tax. Sure they pay sales tax when they purchase retail items, but that is all. Show me documented proof of any one illegal immigrant who has paid taxes. I challenge you! This is left wing bs.

Look at the "crap" immediately following the article in the comments section. Let labor flow unfettered without Government intervention. Conservatives are seeking to expand Government once again based on classism, another clear paradox, underwriting their credibility. They want armed goons to keep the "untouchables" down.

First of all, this is NOT a racial issue, it is a criminal issue. It is also a wage/benefits busting issue, created by the corporations who brought America Outsourcing of Jobs and NAFTA.

Illegal Aliens take jobs at lower pay levels, thus undercutting union wage and benefits levels, as such they are Scab workers and along with Outsourcing corporations are a large part of the Republican Right Wing Effort to destroy unions, benefits, pensions, Social Security and Medicare.

By accepting lower wages and benefits they are Paying LESS taxes than American Citizens do-same jobs, less taxes and they are taking jobs away from Citizens, Union Workers, some of their own nationality. Had they come over and applied for citizenship, they would be welcomed.

Had they observed the going pay scale and refused anything less like so many American citizens of every nationality including many Mexican workers who are legal citizens and who do belong to unions, they would be welcomed

Apparently the higher points of this debate have alluded the writer. You work for an organization that depends upon donations. Donations are made by union workers and often by unions and by people like me. Are you paid union scale?

I and a number of my colleagues supported The Civil Rights Act of 1964. My grandfather created one of the very first Integrated Unions in Illinois. I supported financially ML King, and also walked with his people on several occasions. However, I neither support nor respect NAFTA because it is a tool of the Corporate attack on wages, pensions and benefits. You are on the wrong side of this issue. You need to do the math and calculate how many America taxpayers are now out of work, replaced by people overseas or Illegal Aliens who are paying less taxes.

The plan to wreck the salaries and benefits of American workers was initiated by several Right Wing Groups, so in this issue, apparently a bit over your head, you are supporting The Military Industrial Complex's wage busting Corporations. Congratulations on selling working Americans and Unions out.

You need to do a peck of research before you write any more articles about things of which you know very little to nothing.

To Jim Campbell: can you read?

Don't undocumented people buy things, paying sales tax, at the least. But the article explicitly says:

"Rita, a 47-year-old Hispanic woman, may in fact be the blueprint for a growing number of Mexican-American immigrant lifestyles: Rita is an undocumented immigrant, and a taxpayer."

Yours is right wing bs.

A guest worker system (Braceros) worked before in California. Who would clean the stables, cut the grass and weed the gardens, pick the vegetables in the fields, take care of children of working US mothers, cook, clean and do all the dirty work Americans don't want to do if there weren't citizens of other countries too poor to do anything else? These people often have to live under plastic tarps because their employers don't pay them enough to live like us privileged people. Why so much hate and so little compassion for these hardworking immigrants who are human beings, too? Our forefathers and mothers came from somewhere else, unless you happen to be a Native American.

This is a tiresome subject, made even more tiresome by delusional people who choose to cling to myths rather than facts.

Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman wrote a column for the NYTimes in March 2006 in which he concluded that "Unfortunately, low-skill immigrants don't pay enough in taxes to cover the cost of benefits they receive."
http://select.nytimes.com/2006/03/27/opinion/27krugman.html?scp=1&sq=March%2027,%202006%20Krugman&st=cse

You can either believe Krugman or the 'study' by the National Council of La Raza.

She is not an animal, she has documents, just not the ones needed to work here legally. Why does this corporate spinmaster call here that? Perhaps we should call her -- lets say "Illegal alien" which is the best English word for her status, and similar to the word used in Mexico -- illegales.

MISLEADING!

She has 3 kids, all of whom are most likely anchor babies that received free education and assistance (judging by her income).

It's very easy to discount the anchor babies that illegals have in order to take advantage of public benefits; the illegal might not be getting the money directly but the children they had while here must certainly be considered in any analysis of what they use vs. what they contribute.

i am 8l years old from the southwest and have researched and lived through so many of the events that have become cliches for the vitriol that passes for debate or dialogue on a subject that is reduced to unmitigated racism. from the bracero's in the 50's, to organizing farm workers, migrant workers and to all efforts to dispel the responses of those that cant do anything other than chant hate, hate, they are blinded by it and cant read.

Truthout doesn't even hide its corporate sponsorship anymore. THREE! Three articles in support of mass illegal immigration are on today's issue. Articles about the working poor? ZERO. Unemployment, maybe Reichs article.

Citizen objections prevented GW Bush from pushing through a second Reganesqe amnesty to encourage millions more desperate foreigners from rushing over here. Will Obama finally realize Bushes dream, by fooling so-called Liberals? Yes, blame NAFTA, but that doesn't fix the current problem. All you got to do is yell "racist" and spineless "progressives" run to hide.

How about an article that shows places with large numbers of illegals have lower wages? How about the lack of affordable low-income housing, since millions of units are filled by illegals. How about states cutting health services since they are overrun by illegals seeking care?

Don't "illegals" pay property taxes (through their rent in some cases) in addition to sales taxes? That should pay for at least part of their kids' schooling. And won't those kids (those "anchor babies" rightists are always talking about) be earning money to juice the economy, thereby paying for Social Security retirement benefits of us all? As for no one paying through ITIN numbers--I need proof of that. The IRS discusses ITIN numbers as if they are still around, unlike what one of the posters here said. They disappeared in 2002? Source? Fact is, rightists should be happy about any kind of immigration; it allows people in who will work under miserable working conditions for peanuts. Isn't that what you all want? Think of all the extra money employers get so they can buy their new trucks, yachts, and whatever. Even contribute to the Tea Party. You shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you.

So, Larry, let me understand: The cost/benefit research concerning "illegal" immigration is hardly conclusive and colored by ideology? Does this mean that Paul Krugman is a tea partier?

The comments section on this article reveals the severe deficiency of our educational system in teaching reading and reading comprehension, to say nothing of rhetoric and logic, including basic math. It also reveals the success of the propaganda processes employed so vigorously by anti-immigrant demagogues.

Some people, I'm afraid, are so hopelessly entrenched in their somewhat bigoted beliefs about immigrants (and mostly those beliefs are directed ONLY at Hispanic immigrants) and so devoted to so-called "news" sources that reinforce those beliefs, that no amount of actual data will make the slightest dent in their attitudes. Their motto & mantra: "Don't confuse me with facts; my mind (such as it is) is firmly made up!"

Who can compete for a job at a plumbing parts company with a woman who has less than a 6th grade education and is willing to smuggle across a border under the seat of a car with 2 children?

To think that our government has been knowingly taking tax dollars from her and that this company couldn't have NOT known that she was working illegally.

And now they want the American public to take responsibility for THEIR corruption?

Where is the Mexican government in this matter right now? So they can assist this woman with relocating and assimilating back into Mexico and its employment market? Let them and our officials and the Catholic Church all put their heads together on her behalf -- back in Mexico.

Punish the plumbing company, and throw a lot of government officials in jail for knowingly collecting tax money from illegal workers -- if this story is even true.

An American citizen should be working in that job and that job should be paying more money.

If illegals are paying taxes then why hasn't the IRS worked with Immigration to deport them? Why isn't there a data bank of US citizens to compare names to? The fact you got away with stealing some citizen's job for years and raised a family doesn't give you the right to citizenship. Go home!

In addition to emergency room expenses mentioned @ 20:03 (I haven't read the Krugman article yet, but will), the community clinic system is entirely segregated in order to service large illegal labor pools. Some state segments of which are headed by former Mexican government officials! Who import "legal" visa workers into jobs Americans could do -- except that all language needs *must be serviced* - the great excuse for keeping Americans out of those jobs that hide illegal labor. This corrupt community clinic system is being expanded by the clowns in Washington, along with Medicaid, instead of opening up Medicare to all Americans (which would be integrated health care, and ergo, not secret enough). So, yes, Krugman would be VERY wrong, and in addition to the emergency room costs, and documentations of hospitals at the border and elsewhere closing down because of funding crises that have been caused because of this issue.

The aboriginals (Native Americans and Mexicans) were here first. They did not cross your borders, white boy. You crossed theirs.

Smacks of racism, but doesn't stop them from stealing something they never had when we came.

THOSE WHO SUPPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION SHOULD BE REMOVED ON JUNE 8 & NOVEMBER.

Through the American people have been adamantly promised that the border remains unsealed. This is far from the truth? The 2006 Secure border fence was cut back in secret meetings in Washington. The 2006 Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations bill that gutted the 2006 Secure Fence Act that would have constructed the first 854 miles of the U.S-Mexico border. An amendment submitted by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-TX, and co-sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn, (R-TX), for the Department of Homeland Security 2008 budget was aimed at gutting the already-approved H.R. 6061 Secure Fence Act. Sen. Hutchison in the summer 2006 had drafted S.Amdt. 2466 to H.R. 2368 (the DHS appropriations bill). “The Hutchison amendment gave DHS virtually total discretion over how and where the fence is built,” Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) the principle draftee of the law, stated, " By eliminating the double fence requirement, the Democratic Congress is going to make it easier for drug and human smugglers to cross our Southern land ," The double fence never WAS, instead we have the single fence line and even that fence is compromised, by wide areas of nothing but old barbed wire.

The--REAL--fence was a TWO FENCES, the second , a high 15 foot fence that you usually see around a prison compound and at its peak razor wire. Majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has been the poisoner of any immigration enforcement, with Pelosi and a large grab bag of Dem-Liberals following the pack. Beginning now is the--BEGINNING OF THE GREAT PURGE--in California the--SANCTUARY STATE-- that has defied1986 federal immigration laws in both Los Angeles, San Francisco and other different refuge states, counties and cities. Incumbents are now on the run finally as taxpayers can distinguish who is supporting the settlement of illegal aliens and lawmakers who are fighting for the rights of--ALL--Americans. Not necessarily because of the health care law already passed, but because illegal immigration is the forerunner and highly volatile owing to the those rooted here are not an asset.It is however a hundred billion dollar Ponzi welfare scheme on all IRS payees. PRESIDENT OBAMA HEALTH CARE WOULD COST LESS, THAN WHAT WE PAY OUT TO SUPPORT FOREIGN LABORERS AND FAMILIES ANNUALLY.

Incumbents are no longer running on solid ground, as the omens testify . Blanche Lincoln has a grade of (D-) at NumbersUSA website. Mostly generated by Liberal extremists our country is under attack, by millions of foreign nationals who are stealing jobs and bleeding the welfare system in most areas of the country. Steve Poizner has promised to accelerate the removal of illegal aliens from California and return benefits to the legitimate people of the state.Whitman justifies giving illegal aliens--AMNESTY--which will further bankrupt the State? Finally, the state of Arizona realized by being a border state was being literary drained of hard come money from taxpayers. Seeing the insanity of open border lobbyists, corporate welfare and lawmakers genuflecting to ethnocentrisms organizations, who seem to have immense power. Among the politicians we placed in power, they have now proved they are anti-sovereignty and need to be succeeded by new US political soldiers who will fight for the American people. ALL PRO-AMNESTY, ANTI-SOVEREIGNTY LAWMAKERS MUST BE DUMPED?

None of the reactive attitude is about racial profiling, but about the bottom line of removing the illegal immigrant families who taxpayers are forced to support. If Americans-legal residents don't fight back, we will be looking at massive overpopulation driven by "Chain Migration" In addition once President Obama's is ready to force throgh another Amnesty, millions more desperate illegal aliens, will be ready to reach our soil. WE NEED THE PRESIDENT TO DEPLOY THE MILITARY TO HALT THIS ILLEGAL ALIEN OCCUPATION PLACING THEM AT THE BORDER. NOT 1200 BUT 6000 AT LEAST? WE PUT MORE TROOPS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES, THAN AROUND OUR BORDER TO PROTECT AMERICANS? Obama should enforce the 1986 Simpson/ Mazzoli bill, that will stop violations of our laws. NumbersUSA has over a million members who are anti-Amnesty and slowing population growth, they also perceive that illegal immigration is draining our economy of welfare entitlements for Americans and residents. NUMBERSUSA has immigration records of Anti-American legislators to eject.

WATCH FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS VOTING?

I just read all the comments above. What a bunch of suckers. Since the Regan tax cuts and deregulation, then continued and enhanced by Bush 2 we have had the greatest redistribution of wealth out of the hands of the middle and lower classes into the hands of the passive income elite in the history of nations and you people are quibbling over a few folks trying to make a living. The immigration issue is simple. Raise the fines and
put some of the companies who do the hiring out of business and illegal immigration will end over night. Give a employer a definitive way to confirm citizenship and lets move on tho the next issue. BTW good article, well DOCUMENTED. Now check your back pocket, it just got picked by the same people who suckered you into arguing over this.

What truthout doesn't report is that the people who "migrate" from just the south of the border are NOT among the most desparate and poor, for the most part. Studies have shown that these individuals are doing a bit better than many of their peers. Plus, they pay lots of money to smugglers, they have more cash -- for being in the U.S. -- than many Americans have, and coming out of a country where it costs less to live. Mexico, birthrate wise, is on par with the U.S. Public education, is doing well, on a U.N. scale. And hey, they rank 61st with the W.H.O., another example of how well capitalism is working (after all, ours is the BEST, at 37th, as any conservative will tell you), and as Arizonians head south over the border for their dental work. What the Democrats and Republicans want more of as we are covered less thanks to their failure, too, to provide a Medicare like program for all Mexicans.

"My guess is that outsourcing jobs to third world countries at $1 an hour or less takes more jobs than illegal immigrants getting $7 an hour here."

Well, let's see. There are 12-20 million working illegally here in what should be Americans' jobs. If outsourcing takes MORE, then that's at least another 12-20 million. You do the rest of the math.

I don't think that's "scapegoating."

Many of these comments indicate that they did not read the article before posting.

Welfare and other benefits are hard enough for documented workers to get these days, while undocumented workers are ineligible. They are paying into a system that provides them nothing but k-12 education and emergency rooms.

Their labor keeps your costs down at the supermarket, clothing store, and restaurant. Their labor lets the middle class enjoy a two-income lifestyle while a cheap nanny raises the kids. Their labor, poorly paid and unsafe in America's sweatshops and slaughterhouses, boosts the profits of American companies that often don't pay taxes in America because they are incorporated overseas.

Most of the anti-immigrant sentiment that rises during a recession is the product of misinformation, racism, and a corporate desire to keep those wages down.

There are holocaust deniers, evolution deniers, global warming deniers, and rounding out the field right here we have a few (thankfully, only a few) immigration deniers. According to one:

"Since the Regan tax cuts and deregulation, then continued and enhanced by Bush 2 we have had the greatest redistribution of wealth out of the hands of the middle and lower classes into the hands of the passive income elite in the history of nations and you people are quibbling over a few folks trying to make a living."

While there is more than a little truth to the first point, it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the subject at hand, which is do illegal immigrants pay enough taxes to cover the cost of services they use. The answer is, of course they don't. But what's truly disturbing in the denialists' mindset is the tendency to minimize the problem as "a few folks trying to make a living." Hopefully, through laws like Arizona's, we'll be able to reduce the illegal population to just that.

I agree prellmechanik, the idea that Mexican freeloaders will be demanding more social spending is hardly believable. Americans have worked hard, and our country is a shining example of a strong work ethic. Instead, you have the typical bleeding heart "establishment"media trying to lead us to the conclusion that illegal people pay more taxes! The liberal mindset is dangerous, I, as an American cannot tolerate a submissive attitude towards the obvious threat of Mexican hoardes who will steal our way of life, our freedom and our love of liberty and they will raise our own taxes to pay for their Socialism! Let's purify our racial heritage!

fried - EXACTLY! Couldn't have said it better...

...and to the dumbass who thinks that citizenship should be revoked, to native-born, well, obviously, you're not a Tea Partyer, because their rally cry is the US Constitution. 13, 14, & 15 are the the Reconstruction amendments - 13 freed; 14 gave citizenship; 15 gave right to vote. If you want to take away native-born citizenship, you're going to take away about 99.9% of the citizenship of the people of the USA since that amendment went into practice in the 1870s, you'll have to retroactive anyone who does not have native-born blood beforehand...

Blaming the victim.

Immigrants, legal or otherwise, are not driving down wages. Employers who hire them and pay cash off the books are the real culprits.

I know of more than one business where everyone is getting paid cash at less than union wages and as far as I know, they are all US born citizens.

I agree with the author that NAFTA has created a lot of the problem. Not only because NAFTA policies create unfair competition in places like Latin America that drive farm workers from rural areas into city slums and finally to seek better wages in the U.S., but also, NAFTA encourages the outsourcing of human labor to countries with the most competitive prices of production. Many businesses are therefore forced or tempted to engage in unethical labor and safety practices in order to cut costs.

Comprehensive immigration reform combined with a strategy of rolling back NAFTA policies in order to begin dismantling systemic problems of labor and safety regulations is desperately needed if the US is to survive and compete with emerging powers.

If you support illegal immigration you are saying let the market rule.

The nation as an entity has its negatives. But if it is democratic, its citizens can have some kind of chance to have a say in what happens. The citizens decide.

Corporation do not need to be democratic in any way. If their decisions create economic pressures, they may push labor to migrate. The market decides.

Again, given their flaws I prefer the powers of democratic nations, where there can be come check on their power, to the unchecked power of the market that feeds on poverty and creates poverty on both sides of the border.

I wonder how many technical school students aren't getting their first break at this "plumbing parts company?"

When you have millions of people illegally crossing a border and illegally GETTING jobs, while Americans are NOT getting jobs, you have a BIG PROBLEM in that society.

Hope that makes some sense to those who have never pounded a pavement. Or watched anyone they could have cared about doing that.

Why doesn't the employee's employer sponsor her for a Green Card? The noble plumbing parts company! And how much did she pay the smuggler in one of Mexico's hottest new jobs?

Illegal is just that, “ILLEGAL”. If I was to steal, defraud, dump toxic waste on my property or any other crime and got away with it I would still be a criminal. Having a job and paying taxes doesn’t cancel out my crime, I’m still a criminal. If you don’t like your country and want to move to another simply go through the legal procedure set forth by the country you seek to move to. OR, try this on for size, work to change the country you wish to escape. Find other like-minded people and unite, work towards a country that group envisions as their ideal country. For example, A small group of like-minded patriots joined together and prevailed over a very oppressive, very rich government to form what we now call the United State, a nation of LAWS.

Factcheck.org has never tried to get an ITIN. The feds say you can get one in lieu of a SSN, but then the requirements are the same. You must be a citizen or have a legal visa. I tried to get one for my daughter in Asia for tax reasons until I could get her visa then SSN, but no go. So illegals are not getting ITINs since 2002.

There are outfits that sell fake ITINs and tell them they are legal. Another issue is that the same corrupt employers who hire illegals deduct SSN (FICA) and even Income tax from their paychecks, but since they know they are illegals they just keep that money and never forward it to the Feds.

The Boston Globe published a front page piece on this issue 3 years ago. Its conclusion: 1/3 of illegal immigrants pay taxes (and not necessarily all of the taxes that they should pay); 1/3 do not; and 1/3 are dependents who are not working. But almost 100% of illegal immigrants are consuming services of some kind or another (particularly medical and educational), and also getting freebies like food stamps. And there are hundreds of thousands of illegals in the criminal justice system, at a cost of about $4oK/head/year.

The author's claim that "many" illegal immigrants pay taxes is meaningless. The real questions are: What is the cost of illegal immigration in terms of depressed wages for US citizens? (Answer: It is huge.) What is the cost to US citizens of all the various services consumed by illegals? (Answer: it vastly outweighs the tax contributions) What are the long-term economic implications for Social Security, Medicare, etc. of giving a "path to citizenship" (= amnesty) to the current 15-20 million illegal aliens in the US? (Answer: Dire)

If the author and other open borders advocates want to play Mother Teresa, please go do it in Mexico and similar countries. Don't shove it down the throats of US taxpayers, when every single time there has been a vote about this it has been to restrict benefits to illegals and enforce the immigrations laws. US citizens have looked at this, and they know what the long-term consequences of illegal immigration and more amnesties are for them: Disastrous.

What blows me away is the rush to look at those below to blame rather than to look at those above. Sure, the illegal immigration issue needs to be looked at and resolved but to aim the anger at these people is idiotic.

Do you realize that our economy is in the shape that it is in, not because of illegal immigrants but because of the employers. The large multinationals, the mid-size and even many of the small businesses are focusing on the bottom line. Some look at executive compensation and shareholder dividends, some look at competing with other businesses and just trying to stay afloat and some are just looking at buying that new boat. The loss of manufacturing jobs to China with the replacement of fewer and lower paying warehousing and distribution jobs; the shipping out of customer service type jobs to India and the employing of cheap labor to try to compete with companies manufacturing in China is a large reason for our current predicament. Who is this "cheap labor"? Why the undocumented worker of course.

Your issue should be with those that employ these illegal workers but how else are they to compete with Chinese cheap labor. Maybe then your beef should be with all these companies that ship overseas but then you wouldn't be able to pay those "low low prices" at Walmart and others like them. Well then maybe we should be looking at those that had the shortsightedness to be ecstatically buying those cheap products at Walmart, making the Waltons filthy rich but in the process helping our society shoot for the bottom. Save now, suffer later...ooops that is suffer now isn't it?

You can also look at all the deregulation that allowed for a more Laisez-faire capitalism which naively believes that Capitalism unfettered by regulation is the way to go. Look at the Enrons, Worldcoms and the Wall Street financial institutions and the way they brought the global financial system down to its collective knees with all of their chicanery. Derivitives! Outright gambling with our National economy with repercussions felt around the world. And yet the upper management continue to reward themselves obscene salaries, hiding their true earnings from taxes by using the stock option crap. They are the new "Royalty" of this country with a mindset that equals that of Marie Antoinette with their notion of entitlement.

Hell there are many other reasons for our predicament and the illegal immigrant issue is a minuscule component. It basically comes down to going after those that are the easiest target. The big companies and the rich are seemingly too powerful and many just feel impotent against them. It's time people faced that our country is being controlled by the rich and powerful and that until we grow a collective set of "Cojones" and realize that that is where our anger and our efforts at reform should be, we will be at their mercy. We are drifting from a Democratic Republic to a system where there is a Royalty of the rich and powerful and most of us are serfs attacking each other and those below us.

STOP THE RACE TO THE BOTTOM!

There's probably a lot of companies that can be criminally prosecuted for the amount of corruption they're involved in with hiring illegal labor.

Not too long ago, for example, besides the meat-packing places -- one of which was Smithfield -- McDonalds was found to be hiring people and finding fake social security numbers for them.

Any kind of immigration bill will be designed to put in the small print -- as something we don't hear about in the news -- their amnesty -- which is the bigger reason.

Also, their natives are getting restless, so they want to move this batch through, so they can get the next shipment coming in.

NAFTA is an illegal trade/labor agreement. It was designed to do exactly what it's been doing. By Democrats and Republicans alike.

If they want to do something, they must close the border with many more troops -- since it's gotten so out of hand -- and throw out this agreement.

Why don't you hear Calderon calling for that? Could it be that they like NAFTA in the halls of Mexico's goovernment buildings? Because it makes their jobs so much easier. They don't have to do them.

I'll tell you what I want before they give the stinking corporations their amnesty. Because those corporations sure DO want this bill going through.

Tell them to open up Medicare to all Americans.

NOW.

There are so many uneducated, bigoted, narrow-minded individuals posting on this site. First, please actually read the article. Second, there are so many inaccuracies posted by said individuals, that there is no way to point them all out. But, since the last one, as of the time of this posting, must be corrected. You are wrong to say "When illegal alien children are born to a parent who is under the jurisdiction of another nation while illegally in the [US], he/she is under the jurisdiction of the nation of origin of their mother." Where do you get this drivel? Please refer to Amendment XIV (that means "14") of the US Constitution: to wit: All persons BORN or naturalized IN the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States...." (emphasis added). Further, "under the jurisdiction thereof" means they are PRESENT IN THE US. Peace.

Illegal aliens having children are US Citizens but it wasn't designed this way.

The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution was passed in 1866.

The amendment was designed to grant citizenship to and protect the civil liberties of recently freed slaves.

It did this by prohibiting states from denying or abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, depriving any person of his life, liberty, or property without due process of law, or denying to any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

So tell me how illegal aliens can be classified as "recently free slaves?" Yes, the Supreme Court has held that it applies to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States." But when is enough, enough.

Tell me how many other countries allow the children of illegals to be citizens of their country just because they were born their? None. At least one parent and sometimes both must be a citizen of the country.

Rita I truly hope you and your children have a long life, back in "your" country.

Call me selfish, I really don't give a darn. You bring up your kids to respect the laws and when my 29 year old son asked me "what was it all for if we have these people in our country illegally?" I tell him we do what's right and expect others to do the same.
