One of the concepts leading to the Revolutionary War was that Americans were being taxed without having representation in the House of Commons.
The slogan then was, "No taxation without representation."
Today, illegal aliens are being represented in the Senate while being promised that they won't have to pay back taxes.
I guess that makes it representation without taxation.
Hmm.
Really, I don't recall anyone ever campaigning for the illegal alien vote... seeing that they can't vote.
Sorry, but you don't need to vote to be represented.
Kennedy, Kyl and McVain believe that are such wonderful people that they should be absolved of paying back taxes (something they don't believe American citizens should be absolved of) and that out of state tuition fees should be waived for them.
Perhaps they understand that such things would benefit the legal residents (who they do represent) as much or more so than the illegal ones. What's the point in collecting back taxes when they weren't using the tax-paid services anyway?
In 2006 it is estimated that Arizonan taxpayers were burdened to the extent of about $1.3 billion because of illegal aliens residing in the state. That estimate is based only on expenditures for education, emergency medical care and incarceration.
Estimated... by whom? The CARLHAYDEN anti-illegal immigration brigade?
In any case, education costs come from property taxes, which can't be collected retroactively since illegal immigrants don't own land (or else taxes were already included in rents). I don't see any way our current health care system could be paying for illegal immigrants as it doesn't even pay for legal residents, so that part is obviously irrelevant. That leaves incarceration, but, while incarcerated, they wouldn't be making money and so wouldn't have any income to pay income back taxes on.
