My understanding is that illegals often have SS taken out of their paychecks and of course if they're getting a W-2 they're having income taxes taken out of their paychecks. However, I'm not sure about how many illegals actually get a W-2. This seems like an informative article:

Illegal immigrants pay billions in taxes

It's not ironic. It's irrelevant.

never implied he absorbed racist ideas strictly living in south africa for 18 months. maybe he's just overreacting from latent guilt from his parents racist actions.

than calling people racists is damn nasty stuff, ain't it. at least in the case of his parents, you can sat with metaphysical certitude they chose to ply their trade in the most racist society in the 20th century.

Really?

They worked in Nazi Germany?

Also you realise educating children is a positive net benefit to society, right? There is no long term cost to educating children.

So why are you getting all worked up about how many kids the illegals have? The act of having kids isn't what you find abhorrent. Only that they crossed over, which you've only really justified with "the law is the law, even bad laws. They should be punished mercilessly, along with their children, and their children's children."

What is the difference? I mean, I'm with you, I don't want to pay for some bozo's 10 kids to get "educated" ESPECIALLY considering the "education" they get for that money is a total ****ing ripoff.

I just don't see what difference it makes where their mother's cootchie was when they were born. Please explain it to me.

Depends on your perspective, no? Educating a lot of non-white children so that they grow up and become educated non-white adults could pose some problems in some people's eyes, depending on what version of reality they subscribe to..

Is calling someone racist more or less nasty than thinking they should be deported because their parents were illegal aliens?

Also, yeah, as Phil notes I'm gonna say I might be able to come up with a few slightly more racist societies than South Africa in the 1970s.

Don't forget that he wouldn't just deport the children of illegals, but he'd even have them stripped of their citizenship and be barred from ever being able to legally attain it ever. Hey Bob, what about the grandchildren? If an four illegal immigrants come her, and then two pairs of them have a boy and a girl who live their entire lives here, and then they have a kid. Deport immediately, right?
