Between 1975 and 1999, the top 5 percent of taxpayers went from 36.6 percent to 55.5 percent of taxes, the top 10 percent went from 48.7 percent to 66.5 percent, the top 25 percent went from 72 percent to 83.5 percent, and the top half of taxpayers went from 92.9 percent to 96 percent. The bottom 50 percent of taxpayers now pay just 4 percent of federal incomes taxes. Over 12 billion dollars were sent to mexico alone last year by illegal aliens. That money did not make purchases at your local Walmart. How much is 8.25% of 12 billion dollars spent in mexcrement that should have been spent in USA? The paltry amount of sales tax illegal aliens pay in this country does not scratch the surface on the cost of providing the infrastructure - roads, schools, side walks, law enforcement, judicial, emergency services, parks, social services, day labor centers, the gamut of taxpayer funded infrastructures that impact the quality of our life. 12+ million illegal aliens. You are asking the taxpayers of America to provide for a population half again as large as the population of NYC, who have never contributed even a fraction of the money for their upkeep, who even if they did contribute, their percentage of total contribution would be less than 4% of the whole. How much is 12 million times $55,200 anyway? Large-scale immigration from Mexico is a very recent phenomenon. In 1970, the Mexican immigrant population was less than 800,000, compared to nearly 8 million in 2000. And we wonder why we are broke, pay more and more taxes, and get less and less return on our money. http://www.cis.org/articles/2001/mexico/release.html Because of their much lower education levels, Mexican immigrants earn significantly less than natives on average. This results in lower average tax payments and heavier use of means-tested programs. Based on estimates developed by the National Academy of Sciences for immigrants by age and education at arrival, the lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a negative $55,200. . Although they comprise 4.2 percent of the nation's total population, Mexican immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) account for 10.2 percent of all persons in poverty and 12.5 percent of those without health insurance. Even among Mexican immigrant families that have lived in United States for more than 20 years, almost all of whom are legal residents, more than half live in or near poverty and one-third are uninsured . Even after welfare reform, an estimated 34 percent of households headed by legal Mexican immigrants and 25 percent headed by illegal Mexican immigrants used at least one major welfare program, in contrast to 15 percent of native households. Mexican immigrants who have lived in the United States for more than 20 years, almost all of whom are legal residents, still have double the welfare use rate of natives. > > Their unpaid bills could lead to hospitals shutting down their emergency > > rooms. > > Just use some of the tax dollars you get from the illegals. > > What tax dollars would that be? -- Hanged in effigy at Brazoria for wanting peace with Mexico, these "Tories" were: Ira Lewis (1800-1867), Thomas Jefferson Chambers (1802-1865) and Samuel May Williams (1795-1858).
