Message: <blockquote data-quote="JB Books" data-source="post: 1385297" data-attributes="member: 6889">Wolfie,I know you enjoy taking shots at me, but as usual you are off your mark.Just because I do not advocate laying land mines across the US-Mexican border, and just because I disagree with the idea of sending snipers to murder women and children who illegally cross the border, does not mean I support an "open borders" policy.In all of my threads regarding immigration, I have consistently advocated "securing the border" as a first step.  That entails detection technology, more enforcement of immigration laws, and more immigration officers/border patrol agents on the ground.  Not slaughtering people who come here illegally.The fact is we simply WILL NEVER deport the 11-20 million people who are here illegally.  It is NEVER going to happen.  We do not have the finances to create and staff the infrastructure necessary to do so. Additionally, there are millions of US citizens who are the spouses and/or children of illegals.  These are AMERICANS, just as much as you are me, despite the fact their skin is darker, or they have an accent.The solution...one more time kids...is simple.  Secure the border.  Shut it down.  Mainstream the folks here who have not committed crimes (and spare the rebuttal about illegal entry being a crime). Then strictly enforce immigration laws to prevent history repeating itself.As for the tax issue, yes, I believe that I have some social responsibility.  I believe that I should pay taxes, but it should be fair.  I employ, both directly and indirectly, quite a few people.  They contribute to the stream of commerce.  I buy equipment.  I lease equipment.  My advertising budget alone is over $1,000,000 a year.  Frankly, I have to reap a reward commensurate with the amount of risk and stress I endure.  The profit should not be taxed out of my business.</blockquote>
