There is no compromise here...

The writer of this article is so ignorant it is hard to even take this thread seriously... 
 
Either you are part of the crowd that wants to put their head in the sand or the ones searching for a solution. Illegal immigration is a HUGE issue, and I find it very disturbing that the left puts Global Warming ahead of it in importance. Global Warming is now commanding billions of dollars in tax breaks and funding and yet there is very little emperical evidence that it caused by man. Hybrids? The environmental cost for producing those batteries is worse than 2 gasoline vehicles. But, enough about the ignorance of Global Warming... Lets look at the facts people... we spend over $300 billion a year on illegal immigrants. Would that money not be best spent elsewhere? Over 30-40% of prison population is illegal immigrants. Anyone that can do math would be able to figure out that our GNP (Gross National Product) will not sustain this type of activity for long periods of time. It is a simple matter of economics and common sense. The PR machine in this country is blinding us from the reality that we will soon become a welfare state if we continue on this path. We import more than we export and soon we will become a country of Rich and poor. The middle-class is being completely raped by the influx of cheap labor and outsourcing. The only people that benefit from illegal immigration are the rich. We have entire generations of legal american children that will not have jobs in 10-15 years. Ignoring this problem is like ignoring cancer. 
 
I leave you with this: 
 
TAXES EXPLAINED: 
 
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: 
 
 
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. 
 
 
 
The fifth would pay $1. 
 
The sixth would pay $3. 
 
The seventh would pay $7. 
 
The eighth would pay $12. 
 
The ninth would pay $18. 
 
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59. 
 
So, that's what they decided to do. 
 
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until on day, the owner threw them a curve. "Since you 
are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20."Drinks for the ten now cost just $80. 
 
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. 
But what about the other six men --- the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they 
subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the 
sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by 
roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.  
 
And so: 
 
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings). 
 
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings). 
 
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings). 
 
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings). 
 
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings). 
 
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings). 
 
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four 
continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man," but he got $10!" 
 
"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. 
 
It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!" 
 
"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!" 
 
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!" 
 
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between 
all of them for even half of the bill! 
 
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might 
start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier. 
 
For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
