Why don't we just admit the reason Obama wants a "path to citizenship" is because . .

[Synthaholic]

He knows he can't get enough AMERICANS to vote for him in 2012.

Illegals can't vote, fool! And if they follow that path to citizenship, they will be AMERICANS.

And then they will be paying taxes.

They already pay sales taxes directly and property taxes indirectly through rent (some even own property and pay it directly) - but many actually do pay income tax. The ones that use some else's social security # will pay withholding as if they were that person. They pay the FICA tax in this case even though they have no hope of every getting the benefits, essentially subsidizing the social security and medicare funds with free money.

Who does? Illegals? I don't think they are paying anything more than sales taxes, and that's only on non-food. Most illegals hoard the little money they make, and only spend it on food.

I don't see the problem with making more people Americans. I do have a problem with illegals, and foreign students from countries which are working against America's best interests.
