Racist? Joe Legal and Jose Illegal
Racist article? Ha!!! Read it and weep. The photo speaks volumes and is soooooo perfect.

Joe Legal And Jose Illegal
By Curt Maynard
11-16-9

You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California.

Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.

Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".

Ready? Now pay attention...

Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.

Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $24,031.00.

Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.

Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps and welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $9,631.00.

Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal pays $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for insurance. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.

Jose Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc.

Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month.

Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.

Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home.

Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.

You see how this works now?


If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens...

You are part of the problem!

It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

Re: Racist? Joe Legal and Jose Illegal
Make them pay taxes, have them take an english class, make them pay a large fine for coming here illegally.

I have now fixed 50% of our problems.

Report all illegals, arrest those that give them jobs or a place to stay (1 month in jail at most, don't make it horrible. Grab the illegals and do the part above).

That's 75%...

Deport any illegals with criminal backgrounds or questionable sanity. Give the poor ones a workers' VISA, make them HAVE to pay off the fine to live here (along with the above). Start all illegals that have paid the fines, taxes and tried to learn english on a path to becoming a legal citizen.

If they do any crimes, deport them. If they don't pay the fine before thier VISA expires, deport them. If they refuse, deport them. Watch the closely (like a criminal out on parole) and make sure they aren't doing anything illegal.

After all of this, I think I have fixed just 90% of our illegal immigration problems, and that was with 3 minutes of thought...

Beyond one's own mind there is no dazzling light to come shining in from outside to wake one up.

This is the essence of the Path-namkhai norbu.

Why is there a legend about the descent of Christ into hell? The Teacher addressed the lower strata of the astral world, saying: �Why, by cherishing earthly thoughts, bind oneself eternally to Earth?� And many revolted in spirit and rose higher.

Your draconian measures are simply not needed.
Lets look at the facts.

1. Children of immigrants always assumlate just like you want, they are generally not even bilingual and love to be american dicks, you have to get over people speaking other languages.

2. History will show that the fist group of immigrants to the country are always slow to assumlate.

3. Business that hire illegals are the real source of the problem. However its just the nature of our system for business to want to hire the cheapest labor possible.
So you are right on about what needs to be done in this case.

In the end the gigantic bureaucracy you want to deal with the "undesirables" will cost more than what we are doing now.

We dont need more police looking for more reasons to imprison people.

Illegal immigration is simply not a major issue compared to other issues we have.

I would encourage you to worry about yourself instead of what other are doing.

If the government knows about the illegals..and they are living and working here, sending their children to school here, driving to work, etc.
Why not make them all legal?
That way everybody pays their fair share of taxes and are bound by the law of the land.
This has got to be the only country in the world that allows illegals to work .. and then turns a blind eye when it comes to them paying taxes.

Re: Racist? Joe Legal and Jose Illegal
Illegal immigrants are barred from the following federal public benefits: grants, contracts, loans, licenses, retirement, welfare, health, disability, public or assisted housing, post secondary education, food assistance, and unemployment benefits. States are barred from providing state or locally funded benefits to illegal immigrants unless a state law is enacted granting such authority



Illegal immigrants on welfare: fact or fiction?
Illegal immigrants swarm into our country and quickly jump on the welfare rolls. They cost hard-working U.S. citizens billions and billions of dollars in taxes because of this subsidy.

That's a familiar, easy charge leveled by critics of illegal immigration. But is it fact or fiction?

It's actually a myth, according to the Congressional Research Service, the investigative arm of Congress. This point is highlighted as one of the "top five immigration myths of the campaign season," a list put out by the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Here's their look at welfare:

MYTH #3: The nation spends billions of dollars on welfare for undocumented immigrants.

FACTS: To the contrary, undocumented immigrants are not eligible to receive any "welfare" benefits and even legal immigrants are severely restricted in the benefits they can receive.

As the Congressional Research Service points out in a 2007 report, undocumented immigrants, who comprise nearly one-third of all immigrants in the country, are not eligible to receive public "welfare" benefits -- ever.

Legal permanent residents (LPRs) must pay into the Social Security and Medicare systems for approximately 10 years
before they are eligible to receive benefits when they retire. In most cases, LPRs can not receive SSI, which is available only to U.S. citizens, and are not eligible for means-tested public benefits until 5 years after receiving their green cards.

A 2007 analysis of welfare data by researchers at the Urban Institute reveals that less than 1 percent of households headed by undocumented immigrants receive cash assistance for needy families, compared to 5 percent of households headed by native-born U.S. citizens.

A 2007 analysis of U.S. Census data by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities makes clear that it is the U.S.-born, U.S.-citizen children of undocumented immigrants who are eligible for programs such as Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program
(SCHIP). The analysis found that, between 1995 and 2005, the share of low-income, non- citizen immigrant children (either undocumented or legally present) who received Medicaid or SCHIP dropped from 36 percent to 30 percent.

Re: Racist? Joe Legal and Jose Illegal
I see no racism here - but I do see stupidity.
If the government knows about the illegals..and they are living and working here, sending their children to school here, driving to work, etc.
Why not make them all legal?
That way everybody pays their fair share of taxes and are bound by the law of the land.
This has got to be the only country in the world that allows illegals to work .. and then turns a blind eye when it comes to them paying taxes.
It's ridiculous!



WOW you want to freak the bigots out even more, propose that we make them legals.

Yes.
And why not?
For those who see the color of someone's skin (or culture) as the problem..then there is no reasonable recourse.
It's silly, people can't change who they are. And shouldn't be punished ...unless they break the law.
Thinking rationally here..if they're already in this country and employed..let them share in the responsibility that all citizens have to abide by.
For those that are unemployed..now that's a different matter.

That is the entire problem, there is little rational thinking being used with this "debate".

I need to add..since the U.S. government illegally bound us to Mexico and Canada..it's not ever going to change. The U.S. will continue to allow illegals into the country. So..why bother with the whole 'illegal status?' make them citizens. And let them stand side by side next to the rest of us and pay their taxes!

Yes.

This is how I know liberals-democrats are actually retarded.
"unless they break the law".
By the fact that illegal immigrates are in the country ILLEGALLY, means they have broken the law.
Illegal Aliens.

Forbidden by law or statute.
Contrary to or forbidden by official rules, regulations.
