No one wants to hear it, everyone wants there to be something more to it. There isn't.

Quote:The biggest complaint I hear about immigrants is the "they take our jobs" and "they don't pay taxes" and "they're using gov't services without giving anything back." So...make it easy to become a citizen, and that kinda alleviates those problems, doesn't it? Or at least they'll be arrested if they don't pay taxes...like my uncle.Those aren't problems. No one is taking anyones job, they do pay taxes, and they aren't eligible for "government services" (I do so love how the language in the executive order makes that whistle an issue of national policy, though). The problem...is that they're just too damned mexican. They don't have to dodge taxes to get arrested, they can get arrested for driving while brown. You don't even have to be a mexican to get pulled for driving while brown, happens to plenty of citizens.
