Liberals claim that resident illegals do pay taxes, albeit indirectly. When they pay rent, their landlord uses that money to pay property taxes. When they buy groceries, clothing or other household items, they pay sales tax. This, the liberals say, supports the economy.
What they do not realize, however, is how much illegal immigration costs as a result of the taxes illegal immigrants do not pay.
For example, when children are brought into the country illegally and use the American educational system, their parents are not paying the local municipal taxes that provide for their children's education. The problems are more than financial, however. As we've shown, American citizens in the employment sector are denied opportunities every day thanks to illegal immigration. Opportunities are also blocked in the academic community, as well. A college mandated to meet a racial quota may reject an American citizen or a legal immigrant in favor of an illegal immigrant with the appropriate cultural background.
Despite the urgent need to pass comprehensive immigration reform, President Barack Obama recently announced his administration will do nothing to address the problem "this year." Somehow Obama believes the trouble with the economy and the trouble with immigration are mutually exclusive.
Don't expect to see much from the Obama administration on immigration reform at all, unless it is to ease the way for illegals. There are rumors that Obama will make some sort of policy statement regarding illegal immigration in May.
