The Immigration Carousel

I have purposefully stay away from the immigration debate because, IMO, it is an emotional issue that does not lead to an honest exchange of ideas and plans, but rather name calling and arguments.

As I see it the biggest debate is that they are not paying taxes, well they are. If they buy anything they are paying taxes. Their rents that they pay are part of the economic income of the region and what of the money that is paid into fake SSN account and income tax accounts? Where does that money go once in Washington? True, not all are paying these taxes, but some are.

All opposition has tried to make it appear that it is not a racial thing. But it is! America has been a carousel of racism every since the influx of immigrants. Please, legal or nor, it is still a racial thing. From the beginning with the Chinese that worked on the railroads, to the Italians, Irish, Eastern European, SE Asian and now it is the Hispanics. If you go back and read newspaper clippings from the past, you will find that not much has changed, the same objections for the same reasons are always there. IT IS RACISM! All immigrants have come here to take jobs and not participate in the society. They will not learn the language. They take from Americans already here. All this is nothing new, it was racism then; it is racism now.
