The Absurdity Of The Senate "Immigration" Bill
From (non-citizen) Mark Steyn. Brief, but correct:
My wife and the kids had their Green Cards stolen the other day. Cost of replacement of legal permanent resident cards: $1,040. Fine for 20 years of law-breaking within the United States: $2,000, less Social Security and EITC entitlements. Hmm.
I told the missus to hold off filling in the form for the replacement card. Having been rendered inadvertently undocumented, she may at last be in the winning category.

I don't credit for one minute the complaints of Canadian Mark Steyn about the immigration reform bill passed by the Senate of the United States. It's simply nonsense for him to assert that he and his wife would be better off living illegally in America than legally.

Dave:
Last time I checked, illegals don't pay income tax. Not a bad thing if you can get away with it.
They also show up at emergency rooms for free health care. Then they are cited by Hillary Clinton as part of the 40 million "Americans" without health insurance.
