    You make it seem like cutting government financial aid will have education cease to exist. The government should not selectively subsidize education. The money could be used for lowering the tuition for ALL instead of a select few and improving education overall.

    What's wrong with taking out private loans for education? It would put more of a focus on the amount universities charge and make those who have to borrow funds for their education have more appreciation for it. Why is it incumbent on the government (meaning the citizenry) giving something that can be paid for though private loans. Shelter is important, so why won't the government pay for half of my house?

    Instead of deporting illegal immigrants, I think we should deport the Federal Reserve, most of Congress, corporate and banking criminals, the Bush family, the Rockefellers, the department of homeland security, NAFTA, Kevin Garnett, and Kid Rock.

    Wow. Just wow. Sure am glad you took the time to "explain" that to us. I wanted your "explanation" in order to see the crash-and-burn that you just posted. Thank you.

    Your "explanation" must "explain" why the state I live in, California, has to tack on an extra 10% to every budget in order to try to cover the unexpected costs associated with the illegal immigrants in the state.

    Just wanted to point out this is a improper comparison. Comparing a single per person per month to a masive group over an extended period of time is always going to look unbalanced. :tsktsk:

    I don't understand the correlation between people thinking illegal immigrants don't pay taxes having any impact on their ability to see the benefits of social security--it's because they're in the country illegally. How do they pay into social security? Oh that's right, with a fake SSN. My guess would be the majority of illegal immigrants with a fake SSN # did not acquire it to pay into social security, but instead to get a job. This just keeps the identity theft problems in this country rolling.

    Just so I understand correctly, all illegal immigrants pay taxes, and they can do no wrong? Okay, got it.

    Obviously this was used as an example. The point is studies have shown that the deficit created by illegal immigrants is enormous because they utilize government services that they contribute little too financially such as services like medical care, prisons etc., but historically pay little in taxes because they have low income jobs due to little education and/or fluency in English. This is just a generalization, but the facts show this is fairly common.

    So you would like to get rid of the Coast Guard, protection for the President and his family, law enforcement agencies combating human smuggling and child exploitation, the integrity of our financial currency and the enforcement of immigration laws? That's brilliant. Welcome to ignore.

    The point is that if an illegal alien does pay taxes, they do not pay near the amount of tax compared to a citizen making the same amount of money.

    ok. then deport poor people that are on welfare and don't work. I guess at least the illegals are doing something by working.
