You are implying that the money corporations save by not paying taxes goes into the pockets of the employees (job creation etc.), which is nonsense. Sure, some of it does, but it primarily enriches those who are already ridiculously wealthy. The disparity of wealth between the ultra rich and everyone else is literally at the level of medieval feudalism (e.g. see work of Gar Alperovitz).

If you want to be taken seriously and convince anyone you will need to use evidence. If you are going to say "last I checked," note what it is that you actually checked. Otherwise it appears you haven't checked anything besides the assumptions you already believe.

Well, you have:

A. Big corporation, creates new jobs in order to gain more an more profit. Takes some money for itself, but its generally beneficial.

B. Illegal immigrant, works very cheap, does not pay taxes, only earns enough for basic necessities.

Ridiculous wealth makes people ambitious, and ambition, as proven by massive companies such as GM, opens factories, and offices, giving work to people, along with sponsorship in the research of many beneficial things such as energy efficient work vehicles.

Call me when an illegal immigrant actually does something good to the economy, and when you stop being so incredibly socialist.

Actually illegal immigrants would make so little that the government would have to pay to support them.

This way they pay tax, but don't get any benefits. Which is pretty much the best outcome for the economy.

Also I believe Logic already addressed your point;

And he even said, in accordance with Discussion Rules, that you should cite your sources instead of making things up.
Next time do that and try to respond to the person you are arguing against, instead of ignoring them and ranting.
I dont have a problem with mexicans except when they act all gangster and do drugs. but if they want to come to our country, they have to do it the right way like what indians, africans, asians, etc do. We had to learn english, we had to study america, and we had to pay for school and taxes

That sounds absolutely ridiculous, and you got the entire thing backwards. They get benefits such as medicaid and whatnot.

Responding is pointless, when the other person is ignorant

Quit being retarded and throw some actual proof my way. Illegal immigration is causing serious problems and it needs to be addressed as such. Please, continue.

You can't just tell someone to not have a certain political view. If you do it again, I'm banning you. Your posts in this thread have been pretty shitty. (lets debate politely and with evidence ;o)
i have a totally post modern tattoo of a scalene triangle.

Hyde, you're also ignoring basic economic facts in the sake of arguing that illegal immigrants don't congtribute to the economy.

The mere presence of them creates more demand for more goods and services, which in turn has to be provided, creating the supply and demand captilalism works on. Which opens up opportunities for jobs for more people, who in turn create more demand.

You can't say that a person does not help the economy unless they actively do something that buttfucks it (i.e. Enron, Citibank etc. etc.) as they have to benefit it by demanding goods.



Also, CandyBank, the irony of your statement is hilarious. American's are currently fascinated with acting "gangster" and the drug consumption of this country is through the roof, yet you worry about a Mexican immigrant doing it? Oh god, talk about discrimination.

And Mexicans do get in the right way, it's just they have a very large border with the States, and not everybody manages to get through the right way. You see illegal immigration from other countries as well, though not in as large numbers as usually it's from the sea, thus limiting how many can go at one time.

I though racism wasnt allowed.
and Ive seen a lot of racism in this thread,yeah illegals are invading but the us goverment is trating them like shit.
also inmigrants do a lot of stuff americans just wont do, not because they cant, only because they dont want to.
and no thorn, immigrating is not invasion is trying to get better stuff for the family.

At one point, my grandparents were illegals here(from albania), and they received full medical care, and when my grandmother had her first bypass surgery, she did not have to pay anything($60k bill too), as she was not legally employed(now they are tax paying citizens).

illegal immigrants, in the US, gorman, can get free medical care by claiming they do not have a job, or applying for a green card(and getting one).

War_Hero: Socialism does not fit into a thread about how illegals effect a not-so-laissez-faire capitalist country.

@Oracle, you are incorrect, the presence of illegal immigrants does not create more demand, as they can only afford basic necessities, such as food, with whatever minuscule wage they have. Food, in the state of New York, and much of America(if not all), is not taxed.

For all of you haggling me for a source:

And many sites that can be found off of google.

Economically speaking, they are BAD for america.
