I figured out why this whole idea does not sit well with me: This could be the first step down the slippery slope towards accepting illegal immigrants that come here and don’t contribute. How can we possibly have a policy of anything but pay taxes or get the fuck out? Spitzer wants to legally register someone who is not legally allowed to be here. Isn’t that an impossible contradiction?
Mexicans etc. are coming here whether we like it or not. The only policy change that has a prayer of helping the situation is to streamline the immigration process to get these guys signed up and paying taxes ASAP.
