If you download a song illegally or *gasp* a movie then you get jail time, heavy fines, personal property taken away. HOWEVER if you enter the country illegally, create an identity or steal one, work for years as an illegal citizen without paying taxes but sucking down all the benefits of being a citizen and we are arguing about who goes to jail and who gets a drivers license?

I guess I was busy sliding down the endless path of words you carelessly slammed all over your post like some sort of internet caveman who hadn't yet tripped on their pileup of grammatical errors, pulled their nose out of the sand, and discovered the period.

I have to laugh at people claiming illegal aliens don't pay any taxes. If they get paid in cash then they don't pay INCOME taxes, but then neither does their employer. They're hardly the only one at fault, so careful where you point that finger.

They do, however, pay sales tax for things they buy. They pay services taxes for services they purchase. If they own property then they pay property taxes. If they rent then they are paying someone that is then paying property taxes (no different than anyone else renting).

As long as the immigration process is run by politicians instead of processes there will always be people that go around the stupidly complicated rules to get into this country. Ask yourself, is there any other place on earth you'd like to live? Why should they feel any differently? The only difference is that you were lucky enough to be born here.

Illegal alien invaders take jobs that they have no right to and they depress wages in the process.

Another complete fallacy. They have jobs because employers give them jobs. If Americans would do the same job for the same wage then Americans would be working at those places. But Americans don't want those jobs (most of the time) and they sure as hell don't want to do them for the same money. Asking the companies to employ Americans for two to three times the wages plus benefits isn't exactly promoting the free market, now is it?

Oh, but those same Americans want the cheap products those illegal workers produce. Go figure.
