OK topifc of the night - taxes

this is the biggest fraud perpetuated on the american public - they stole our money , lets get them in cuffs , NOW 

if we had a national sales tax and no income tax everyone would be paying the tax no matter your status or your business legal or illegal , but then the people breaking our laws would be exposed - even the politicians and they dont want that 

but yes , if you are legally working here you would pay taxes , if your not legal and working for someone that employed you knowing that your not - the employer is holding alll that back so you see the incentive and you see what we are complaining about 

Agricultural especially abattoirs and meat packing plants along with the service industry are the places illegals will most likely be taken advantage of.

Having said that. illegals overburden our hospitals, dumb-down our school districts, over-use social welfare programs and commit many crimes that simply wouldn't have happened if they weren't in our country. 

Yes,this exactly replicates my process.

Did you get the joy of having a life-sized thoracic X-ray stapled into your passport for several  months?

I did!

 then the "Final interview" after arriving here the guy at Federal Plaza asked why. It was a T.B. thing & had been dropped 30 years before!

You would have laughed had you seen me learning American drill though!

Shamu, my poor wife broke down in tears after one of the jerking arounds we got.  Standard operating procedure was to be seen by an I.N.S. officer in the order of your arrival at the facility.  My wife and I got in line bout 3:30 a.m. with about 50 Mexicans in front of us and approximately 250 in line behind us when the doors opened at 9:00 a.m.  We were the only Gringos.  We sat and we sat and we sat not daring to step outside to get a burrito at one of the two food trucks in the street behind lest we get shuffled to the end of the line.  Well, we didn't have to worry about, they had no intention of seeing us until every last Hispanic person was served first, yes, we were dead last to be seen, just before 5:00 pm.  We had been waiting without a bite to eat since we left the house at 2:30 a.m. - over 14 hours.  The officer(Hispanic) took a look at everything we had brought in as per the instructions in the letter from the I.N.S. bank account information, paid bills, marriage license, and mail proving that we were still cohabitating, forms filled out in exquisite detail, fees paid, paychecks, taxes, etc. etc.  Then as he had checked off the last of the required forms and what not he asked my wife about some other form that wasn't on the list.  We hadn't filled one out because we had never heard of it, sorry he said you'll have to make another appointment to come in with that form.  My wife, tired and hungry got a little short with him and told him that we had brought in everything they had required and the little jerk smirked at us and threatened to toss our file in the garbage!  That's when she lost it and started crying. 

If I ever see that little p***k again.

Oh yes  Every step was "Just one more thing" & "It'll only take a couple of weeks."

3 years of it.

The high point was "Police Reports"!

One from each country I'd even visited for even one day. For those unfamiliar if you're not a criminal there aren't any!

One of them was from Dade Co. Fla.

I knew a female officer there & called for her help from England. She put the Sheriff on.

After some explaining he told me he'd fix it.

Back to Grosvenor Square.

The immigration occifer was gobsmacked.

Apparently he, via his cop connections got it sent to a secure teletype in a basement office "That Didn't exist"!

It basically said "he's fine, we owe him a few favors don't be a d**k"!

It was the only high point.
