To Ponder

Well at this point, I guess there should be more force to make people legal. None of what happens in the USA would be tolerated in any other country when it comes to so many illegal aliens. I mentioned ethnic groups because I know first hand who my husband deals with and he pointed out the man that has used the fake name for the last ten years. He also pointed out that both he and his wife are on welfare as well. I do know many illegals aliens do this. My husband works for a food industry and one day a man and woman of Asian decent walked in, they both had vision cards and bought all their food they ordered for their restaurant with Government monies. My husband knew them both personally and they owned their own restraurant. They lived well, drove brand new cars and wore designer clothes. Now you tell me how they get Government assistance? They lie. The fact that I pointed out one ethnic group over another was only because, when I worked at the hospital, here it primarly happened with the hispanic population. They'd leave fake names, fake social security numbers, telephone and addresses. I handled thousands upon thousands of patient accounts and I remember only like two being of other nationality. I don't think it's racist to point this out because it happens and the Government should be more hands in trying to control it. I really don't condone anyone living here illegally...they should be legal or...return back to the country in whence they came. I think no one once to just deport hard working people. They just want them to be legalized. If people had to carry social security cards with fingerprints and photos to get jobs, to get paychecks, to get places to live, to cash paychecks, to get any medical care from practicioners or Government assistance and fines were steep for ones that tried to bypass this, I am sure a lot of this would be controled. Also, you said that this person is afraid to get legal and has not been claiming taxes. The people that work for my husband's company claim taxes under bogus names. I am sure when it's time to draw the social security, they will withdrawal the monies under the same bogus names.
