| Since SCOTUS May Uphold AZ SB-1070, New Lawsuit Filed Against It |
| 2012-01-10 |
| Phoenix-based social-service agency for illegal aliens Friendly House, the ACLU, and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund have brought yet another lawsuit against the one part of SB-1070 originally upheld by the judge that issued an injunction against the rest of the law. She had originally upheld a section which makes it unlawful to obstruct traffic while picking up day laborers, because the 9th Circuit had upheld a similar law in California. But since then, the 9th Circuit has reversed itself against that law. The bulk of the challenge to SB-1070 has been accepted by the Supreme Court for review. |

| #6 Land Value Tax (Everyone pays backers: Ricardo, Smith, Henry George, opponents: Keynes, Marx). To pay equal Citizens Dividend Only legals receive. Ends "welfare" state, people purchase direct. Government cost lower dividends, so pressure to right size state. |

#5 By and large they don't earn enough to have to pay income tax - but many DO pay payroll tax. They pay Social Security into bogus accounts they can't collect against, and which the SS Admin is not interested in correcting. Only if they're employed on the books. |

| #3 The "solution" is to issue guest worker visas, like Dubai does for foreign laborers. But obviously the Democrats want Mexicans to replace the existing population, so they don't want that. |

| #1 I think the solution to the illegal alien issue is to find some bullet proof way to ensure they pay income taxes, both federal and state. That would send most of them home. What is the key issue is that schools, emergency rooms, public aid agencies, and law enforcement are dealing with a sector of the population that is a net consumer and not contributing to the revenue stream they are consuming. I am unemployed and the Feds take income taxes out of Unemployment Insurance and they take income taxes out of social security...so why can't the non-citizen component of our society pay taxes? When it is over and done with, the major complaint against illegal immigrants is the financial burden they place on the local government. Forcing compliance with tax laws would eliminate that burden and also discourage a segment from coming here...if paying taxes is not a deterent to an individual, I'd say let him or her come on in and contribute. |
