Making Taxes Pay (for Illegal Aliens)
People are talking about the negative impact that the normalization of illegal aliens will have on the Social Security System. I agree, this will take a bankrupt system and maybe take it out of reach of repair, especially since we don’t have the political will to allow for Social Security to migrate to “Private Accounts” (see my post on the problem with Social Security here). But long before the severity of this impact on Social Security is noticed the country stands on the edge of bankruptcy from another little understood effect of legalizing and making Citizens the current illegal aliens.
This effect comes from the Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC). This is a provision of the tax code that essentially boils down to Read more
Illegal Immigration (France)
Well now that the pro Western and pro American Nicolas Sarkozy was elected President in France they have ruled out legalizing undocumented (illegal) immigrants in mass. This may be their last opportunity for saving their country from being overrun by the Islamists. This is something that maybe we should pay attention to here in this country. Is anyone smearing them by calling them racists for this decision? Who knows, with the way things are going I may have to lift my personal boycott of France soon.

[Noted example is Japan and Germany, but not limited just there at least in effect.]
One example is a country that was never at war (at least open war) with or in the America (other than how you might score the French & Indian war in the Colonial Days). We came to the aid of France in both WWI and WWII. Though they were not “defeated” by the U.S. they were the beneficiary of U.S. assisted reconstruction. This aid was provided in 1918 for WWI and 1947 for WWII. If you take the amount supplied to only France (AS A LOAN) and bring that calculation forward to 2004 (the date I prepared this study) you will find that at an interest rate of 4% the amount that France would be indebted Read more
