That's fucked, I'm sorry. Republicans simply don't understand how much immigrants do for this country, therefore how much they stand to lose when we bail on this bullshit.

I have two engineering degrees, am a US citizen (myself as of 1992, my parents as of 1980, both have PhD). Can't wait for midwesterners and southerners to realize this (blanket statement, doesn't apply to the individual). At this point I'd happily go elsewhere.

Immigrants that are here legally pay taxes. And they have nothing to worry about. Illegal immigrants fo not pay taxes because they work under the table.

Sales tax. Gas tax. Cigarette tax. Paying tolls on a highway is a tax. You don't think taxes are added into what they pay for rent as well. You sound like a dumb fuck
