    Yes, they are. They pay sales tax, tax on gasoline, tax on any cigs and alcohol they purchase. In addition many have fake SS cards that are used to get jobs. Taxes are taken out from those people, but unlike other employees they don't file for refunds. So the govt. keeps those taxes.

    Big business (and thus the government) loves illegals, otherwise this problem would have been solved 15 years ago. Illegals hurt the lowest class, and help the upper class and corporations. This is why nothing really ever gets done.

    But to claim they are not a net drain on our finances is false. They send a much larger percentage of their earnings out of the country. They clog our schools with kids who cannot speak the language.

    The democrats are on the wrong side of this issue IMO. Illegals drop the price (or increase the profits) of landscapers, hotels, restaurants. Not exactly services people struggling to get by use, but EXACTLY the types of jobs people struggling to get by need. The salary in those areas has remained flat or decreased.

    You can bring that up if you'd like, but it doesn't really have anything to do with my post. The post I was responding to asked if they pay taxes. I posted many of the ways that the do pay taxes.

    Of course I'm more than happy to talk about the other issues you brought up. It is wrong to assume that illegals necessarily take away jobs from other citizens. They often take jobs citizens wouldn't take no matter what. In addition just looking at economics there are figures that show they add more to an economy than they drain.

    I'm not someone who necessarily thinks there should be a flood of illegal immigrants. I think the path to citizenship should be easier for people who can contribute, have family, etc.

    I agree with you that they are helpers of the big business guys who profit from exploiting them. I'm 100% against that. I do think that hurts the wages in some cases, just not all cases.

    Actually, overall they are a net plus. Yes, there are some costs, but on the other side of the ledger, they pay Social Security taxes using bogus SS#s meaning they will never collect that back from SS.

    All the crap you been spouting is funny. If you want to go to sports and boxing, why do you switch from Latinos to Mexicans? Latino boxers crap all over Black boxers. JMM beat Pac's butt and Castillo beat Floyd. If you're a hardcore boxing fan you would know this. Lets not even bring up Duran, Benitez, Trinidad etc...that are not Mexican but are Latinos. Hell Sergio Martinez would whip Floyd and Pacquaio's ass on the same night right now.

    Then we look at Blacks dressing like Latinos. Who started wearing the khakis and flannels first? Not Blacks. Who started with the lowriders? Not Blacks. If you want to call a race a copycat or jealous, Black people are a good place to start. Too bad they didn't pick up on the work ethic. I've been in a welfare office, filling Coke machines, I know who's in there.

    Finally, I've lived in Houston for 36 yrs, I have NEVER seen a Latino of any kind on the streetcorner begging for money. I've seen plenty of Blacks and Whites and to tell you the truth, Blacks have become the majority in this department. I don't need your stank ass wiping my windshield when I have a button in my car that will do a better job.

    "We invented this and that" Who cares! Get a job and stay out the welfare offices and streetcorners.

    I always see Latino people (as well as blacks and whites) on street corners looking for handouts the 3-4 times I visit Houston yearly. In the Antoine/290 area, in the 610/Post Oak area, in the 45/Shepherd area among other places.
