Pants on Fire! Amid the "crisis at our southern border," there are "reports of illegal migrants carrying deadly diseases such as … Ebola virus." — Phil Gingrey on Monday, July 7th, 2014 in a letter to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Rep. Phil Gingrey says migrants may be bringing Ebola virus through the U.S.-Mexico border By Louis Jacobson on Friday, July 18th, 2014 at 12:10 p.m. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2014/jul/18/phil-gingrey/rep-phil-gingrey-says-migrants-may-be-bringing-ebo/
Yes, I love paying taxes Updated 4/14/2010 7:51 PM By Web Bryant, USA TODAY. By Rich Benjamin I secretly love the ritual. Every spring I pay a visit to Howard Carlin, my tax accountant, to settle my dues. Howard's upbeat personality, peppered with quirky quips, lightens the proceedings. Click, click, click, go his rapid-motion fingers. The numbers whir on screen like a digital slot machine. Up pops a figure. "See?" Howard chimes. "That's your tax burden." I wrinkle my nose. This faux disgust is just a ceremonial knee-jerk gesture, as if showing my solidarity with the millions of other Americans who vilify taxes. But deep in my bones, that place that speaks my mind, I am proud and glad to pay my income taxes. Others, especially those in the "Tea Party" movement, are not. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=55564624
Not Everyone Wants To Live In America Mark Rice, 06.04.10, 01:57 PM EDT Another angle on immigration. There have been a lot of news stories and opinion pieces written about immigration in recent weeks, including a special report in this publication just last month. Much less has been written about emigration, about the people who have made the decision to leave the U.S. in order to build their lives elsewhere. However, as Forbes Editor Paul Maidment noted in his recent essay on immigration, many immigrants to the U.S. eventually return to their home countries. But it isn't just home countries that beckon residents of the U.S. Nearly a quarter-million emigrants leave the U.S. each year, and the State Department estimates that between 5 million and 5.5 million Americans currently live abroad. These emigrants remit nearly $3 billion back to the U.S. each year, more than emigrants from most other countries remit to their home countries. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=67693148
Yes .. immigrants are not a drain on your social services and ,, yes .. they do create jobs, too .. they are not a burden on your country .. they built it with your help.
