BTW Do you know that Illegal Aliens are required to File Taxes?[/QUOTE]
Dis makk me laff...Yeah, right. Illegals are here undocumented, and they are going to files taxes? They are already breaking the law, that's why they are ILLEGALS. Do you honestly think they will file taxes?!?!
Yes many do. Just like USA Citizens some do, some don't.
After Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently released 2,228 immigrant detainees — 761 from Texas — many Lone Star State lawmakers had questions.
On Tuesday afternoon, they got to ask those questions to ICE’s director, in several testy exchanges, with Republican members of the committee accusing the organization of releasing detainees to make a political point about sequestration.
ICE director John Morton defended his organization passionately, blaming the detainee release on a lack of resources.
“The agency is asked to do far more than Congress appropriates or could rationally appropriate to the agency,” Morton told the committee. “We are in a situation where there are 11 million people, on average, here unlawfully, and the agency has resources to remove about 400,000 a year, which is less than 4 percent.”
After sequester went into effect, the organization released 2,228 detainees as a measure to stay within budget. ICE said the immigrants will remain supervised and subject to deportation. Causing alarm for lawmakers was the fact that 10 of the detainees had committed aggravated felonies, and 159 had committed multiple misdemeanors. The majority had no criminal history. Ironically, though Texas saw the most detainees released, none of them were the convicted felons.
Republicans on the committee argued that ICE had plenty of time to prepare for sequestration, and could have spaced out its downsizing in the number of detainees in custody. They also said it was troubling that ICE would make an announcement about detainee release, when detainees are already released on a regular basis.
Rep. Ted Poe, R-Humble, shared this concern.
“You see that the way this was handled could scare the American public?” Poe asked Morton. “Have you got that message yet? Do you think that occurred? I’ll tell you it occurred in my district.”
A fellow committee member, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, shared Poe’s dismay, noting that the responsibility went higher than ICE’s director.
“The Obama administration would have the American people believe budget cuts forced the released of these immigrants awaiting deportation,” Smith said in a statement after the hearing. “But options exist for the agency to maintain detention space and keep immigrants from being released into our communities.”
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, was concerned that ICE was not giving proper notification to the right authorities about those released with criminal records. Gohmert got passionate when talking about how many of the deported simply returned to the US, a pattern he said he saw as a judge.
“The best thing this administration can do for this country is secure the border,” Gohmert said. “So they don’t have to keep re-catching people who have already been deported.”
Morton pushed back on some of the Republican attacks, noting that ICE deports an average of 400,000 immigrants in the past four years, a record high. Morton said those recently released were considered the least likely to pose a danger to their communities.
Morton gained some allies in his defense among some Democrats on the committee, including Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. The Houston Democrat agreed with some of Morton’s reasoning, but did say she thinks the organization could better prioritize those it detains. Jackson Lee said it makes little sense for an organization with limited space to detainee immigrants who are victims of domestic abuse or the sole income earner in their household. Jackson Lee said ultimately the budgetary concerns were the main problem.
“What did you want him to do?” Jackson Lee said after the hearing. “They had to cut $110 million.”

I don't believe that you are that gullable to think that any ILLEGALS pay taxes. Your trying to support an arguement that is so obviously flawed that it defies common sense.
Tuff Gong;693781]Pick a Topic ....Classic RepulTard Argument.
They want to stifle the POTUS ability to determine the Budget but whine when they get the results

You are not paying attention. I'm not making a political stance and choosing sides. Each party is equally complicent on the issue. I hold disdain for each party, especially on the federal level. But Obama has shirked his duties while in office as pertaining to illegal immigrant issues and states rights. Arizona is a perfect example.
It's the federal governments responsibilty to protect the country's borders. Arizona is trying to protect itself from ruin on a state level and Obama has stepped in to prevent them from doing same.
Obama attacks states such as Arizona for protecting it's own interest because the feds don't enforce the law, but ignore sanctuary cities, such as Baltimore, that are breaking the law.
These are facts. We are a nation of laws, and those in Washington tend to ignore them, if it benefits them politically or for personal gain...Obama and the Dems don't really care about illegals, all they see is votes to keep the party in power...They are supposed to do what is best for the country, but they only do what is in the Democratic party's best interest.
Universal healthcare is not free, someone has to pay for it. Illegals pay for nothing. Why should my taxes pay for them or anyone else that does not pay into the system?

so do you think you should get a lower standard of healthcare than somebody who pays more taxes that you do?
When its hot in the jungle of peace I go swimming in the ocean of love.....

Absolutely not true. You are making a Political Statement. First off it was the RepublTards who screwed up Immigration.
Democrats while in Office have been tougher. Secondly Barry has been the toughest by far. Look at the numbers before you start saying things that noh goh soh!
Nothing new - it was like this prior to the Carter Administration. My cousins who came to NJ/NY in 1950's could not file for their siblings until the 70's. They did their own immigration (have wife will travel and marry). There was a time when immigration officers used to be on subway platforms, factories and work places looking for illegals. They don't have that kind of money to do that anymore. It is a cycle like me granny used to say "ole time singting come back again".

I think I should get the healthcare that I pay for, and that's what I am getting now. I think the person that pays more taxes should get what ever plan that they paid for.Taxes have nothing to do with healthcare for those that WORK and have to pay for it out of their own pockest. It's the lazy and the shiftless that refuse to work, that are living off the the hard working people in the form of taxes.
Obamacare will penalize those that buy healthcare as pertaining to the present system.
We think that's the case, as is the information that's being provided by the administration, because idiot Obama and idiot Pelosi don't even understand what they put into law. Can you imagine implementing something so important, that effects so many peoples lives, and not taking the time to actually read and understand the whole process...this guy will go down in history as the worse president that occupied the Whitehouse.
Tuff Gong;693800]I am that is why I did not say Lonewolf arguments. I clearly said RepubiTards. Are you, Rep. Lamar Smith, Rep. Louie Gohmert or R-Tyler?
Ok, I misunderstood. I thought you were communicating with me.

Ok, so please tell me, are you speaking to me, or are you refering to Smith or Gohmert or Tyler?
I'll refrain from responding until you let me know. LOL
Remo, how does Universal healthcare solve the problem if it's unaffordable?
Obama care is based off the Taxachusett's system.
Massachusetts Health Care is Bankrupting the State, National Health Care Could Bankrupt the Country.by The Elephant's Child March 16, 2010, 10:44 pm
Filed under: Democrat Corruption, Economy, Health Care, Taxes | Tags: Massachusetts Health Care, The Economy, Tim Cahill
Massachusetts Care was supposed to be the model for national health care. It has not, however, worked out so well. After only 3 years, Massachusetts health insurance premiums are the highest in the nation. Governor Deval Patrick has called for price controls. Doctors have fled the state. And state treasurer Tim Cahill says the universal health care law is bankrupting Massachusetts, and will do the same thing nationally if Congress passes a similar plan to cover far more people.
Massachusetts state treasurer Tim Cahill recently left the Democrat Party to run for governor as an independent.
State Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill, an independent candidate for governor, today offered a wide-ranging and scathing criticism of the state’s universal health care law, saying it is bankrupting Massachusetts and will do the same nationally, if a similar plan is passed in Congress.
“If President Obama and the Democrats repeat the mistake of the health insurance reform here in Massachusetts on a national level, they will threaten to wipe out the American economy within four years,” Cahill said in a press conference in his office.
Echoing criticism leveled by Congressional Republicans in recent weeks, Cahill said, “It is time for the president, the Democratic leadership, to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new plan that does not threaten to bankrupt this country.”
Cahill said that health care costs have increased by $4.2 billion over what they were spending previously, and income has declined. “We haven’t done anything about driving down costs,” Cahill said. “We haven’t helped small business. We haven’t changed the way we pay for health care and the way we deliver it.”
