  1. Agree. Impose harsh penalties on any company who hires an illegal immigrant. Penalties are per illegal immigrant employed. Provide asylum seekers with a decision in a reasonable amount of time, not years from now. Make a law that states anyone who is in the US illegally would forfeit their right to be considered for asylum. Eliminate jus soli.
  2. I never said that. I said it's going to be a consequence of adding more low wage earners via immigration. Of course I want every child here to receive an education, but don't know what solution for funding it is. What about medical care and food? How are all of these programs going to be funded?
  3. I've already agreed with this. My opinion is that the majority of new immigrants will be renters and not buying a house. So the total amount of property tax money collected by the school district will remain the same. However, the amount of children that the school district will have to support will increase. I don't know what the solution is because we do not have unlimited money or resources.
  4. That simply saying the answer is to just allow more legal immigrants in is the answer to our immigration problem. I'm not opposed to this idea, but where is the money going to come from? What are the consequences for coming in illegally if we are allowing more people in legally? Do we abolish birthright citizenship? I don't know what the answer is, but I haven't heard any ideas on how to handle it.
  5. I understand that. What I don't understand is how it adds to the amount of taxes which are paid to the school district. Let's say I own an apartment complex and I have to pay $50,000 a year in property taxes. I can charge people $5,000 a month to live there but the amount of taxes the school district gets is still $50,000. I could have every unit rented out or only one rented out. Guess what? My property tax is still $50,000.
  6. If you are renting, how are you adding to the total amount of property taxes collected? Do apartment complexes only pay property taxes on the units that are occupied or do they pay based on the value of the property?
  7. I don't understand what evidence you are looking for. You need evidence that adding people to the US will use more resources? This one is kind of obvious. You need evidence that 45% of the households in the US have a zero or negative income tax? https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/model-estimates/conference-agreement-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act-dec-2017/t17-0335-tax-units-zero-or
  8. I'm concerned because 45% of households pay no income tax, and they will likely be in this group. They will pay sales tax like everyone else, but will they pay property taxes? The property taxes that fund the schools that their children will be attending. When they have these children, are they going to have their own insurance or use Medicaid? We have limited resources right? Or do we just keep printing money?
  9. Yes, American citizens will generate tax revenue. But they are going to use these resources now, not when their children are of working age. By this logic, we should let a billion people in every year because their children will generate tax revenue one day. They will spend money and pay sales tax but I have a hard time believing that they will actually pay any income tax. Using H&R Block's calculator, a person making $25,000 a year, with 2 children, and had $2000 withheld, will receive $9,310 back if married, and $7,863 if they are head of household. As soon as they have children, they will be eligible for welfare. Their children will be in public schools. Remember all of the teachers who complain that they are underpaid, work too many hours, and have to spend their own money for supplies for their students? Will they get paid more when students are added to their school? When new teachers have to be hired, is there going to be more money available to the school? What percentage of the new immigrants are going to buy(adding more money to schools through property tax) as opposed to rent(property tax has always been paid by the owner)?
  10. Yeah but all those teams get to play against aggy.
  11. It doesn't matter to me that it's a small percentage of the population. What matters to me is the amount of resources we have to support them. Where is this money going to come from?
  12. Over one million people were granted lawful permanent residence in 2016. I consider that a lot of people.
  13. The process is shitty. Does that make it okay to break the law when there are tons of people doing it the right way?
  14. Do you really want an answer on this? Because you know what kind of answers you are going to get.
  15. My ancestor, Juan Seguín helped Texas win it's independence.
  16. Well someone has to take money from the rich and give it to the poor.
  17. Paid for by the 55%.
  18. A Texas ID now requires you to be a citizen or show evidence of lawful presence. So it would prove that I am not here illegally. And, meh.
  19. I didn't have an ID to destroy. She said they used to allow a person to have an ID and a driver's license. Now it is either or. But my old driver's license was shredded shortly after I received my new one in the mail. Why would I need an expired license?
  20. I never had an ID besides my military ID, so I didn't even question the validity of what she said.
  21. They said it is now against the law to have both an ID and a drivers license when I went to renew my license. They said if I had an ID I would need to destroy it.
  22. I'm not sure, but I never leave the house without it.
  23. Not in Texas according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. Temporary Visitor/Limited Term Issuance An applicant may be issued a limited term DL/ID if he or she is NOT: A US citizen; A US national; A lawful permanent resident; A refugee; or An asylee. A limited term DL/ID will expire with the applicant’s lawful presence as determined by DHS.
  24. Then they aren't here illegally are they? https://www.dps.texas.gov/DriverLicense/LawfulStatusDLID.htm
  25. I have my social security card on me along with my drivers license. When I renewed my license 3 months ago, they asked for my birth certificate.
