Jeez come on Tommy that's messed up! Francine is a little Ring rat though.

You better have a look over here...

Before you get the wrong idea, I must point out that this video is more of a viral ad for the book in question than for Romney, but I figured there was enough of a loose connection to link it with the campaign collective - anything dealing with the candidates is fair game, really.


Thanks to Francine for the link.

You speak as if this"Professor of Law" Lipman is the ultimate authority of the "costs" of the 14 million illegal immigrants in this country to justify your precarious position. It's interesting that this dubious assessment of Lipman gives Lip-service to illegal immigrants who pay no taxes and send a good part of what they earn here back to family and friends down in Mexico-- and this was in the "Tax Lawyer" Journal--very funny! You think I'm just another stupid gullible American who will swallow this pathetic propaganda. I have no respect for this Francine Lipman and what she says is not credible when considering the astronomical costs of medical service and school programs for illegals not to mention the enormous cost to this country for literally re-printing everything in Spanish for those people who are too damn lazy to learn English. Phone messages are twice as long with the English- Spanish format. This all happened due to manipulative political maneuvers by Mexican lobby at Great Cost to the Nation and all other great ethnic groups here in America. Your whole position is ungrateful and extremely critical of what America has already done for the Latino Community -which is bend over backwards for you. We now see billboards and signs in Spanish in the middle of English-speaking cities. That's pretty damn disrespectful. If you choose to live and work in any other country in the world-you have to learn that country's language and customs and RESPECT that country--or your out!

Labeling me xenophobic is a laugh! I respect and love the many international friends that I have. I have been to and stayed in many countries in our world. I fully respect other countries laws and customs--without those you don't have a country anymore. This is a beautiful world we have-aside from ugly and unfair politics--there are those who would like to destroy it all for everybody--the ultimate act of selfish negative hate. No one has the right to take everyone's life away. No matter what brain-washed thinking robotically dictates. No rewards for that ---only grief and punishment eternal.

Ahem.

Let me break it down for you in ways you can understand. This goverment and this administration supports free market economies that support the free movement of labor. This is the administrations stance and it's the stance of both the Federal Reserve and Wall Street. This means that NO deportation of illegal immigrants will occur any time soon. Sorry, but American business interests outweigh the dissent voices of xenophobic people like you. Conservatives have noticed that new citizens even those who were previously considered illegal usually have conservative views in politics. So they are not willing to attack the issue vehemently. Bush fought to capture the immigrant vote.

Professor of Law Francine Lipman writes in a 2006 paper in the peer-reviewed journal Tax Lawyer of the American Bar Association Section of Taxation that the belief that undocumented migrants are exploiting the US economy and that they cost more in services than they contribute to the economy is "undeniably false". Lipman asserts that "undocumented immigrants actually contribute more to public coffers in taxes than they cost in social services" and "contribute to the U.S. economy through their investments and consumption of goods and services; filling of millions of essential worker positions resulting in subsidiary job creation, increased productivity and lower costs of goods and services; and unrequited contributions to Social Security, Medicare and unemployment insurance programs."

Furthermore regarding your issue with zee evil terrorists invading our shores via Mexico, it's best to know that:

Vice Chair Lee Hamilton and Commissioner Slade Gorton of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States has stated that of the nineteen hijackers of the September 11, 2001 attacks, "Two hijackers could have been denied admission at the port on entry based on violations of immigration rules governing terms of admission. Three hijackers violated the immigration laws after entry, one by failing to enroll in school as declared, and two by overstays of their terms of admission." Six months after the attack, their flight schools received posthumous visa approval letters from the INS for two of the hijackers, which made it clear that actual approval of the visas took place before the September 11 attacks.

But don't delude yourself thinking that is something its not.
