Do I Really Want to be Legal?

Many illegal aliens could care less about becoming legal, documented aliens. This is because they do want the privilege of living and working in the United States, but they do not want the responsibility that comes with that.

For many, it's a dream - but many don't want the whole package.

The whole package of becoming legal includes paying taxes. And most don't want to do that. They want to live here, drive on roads built by taxes, go to schools paid by taxes, use services paid by taxes, but they don't want to pay those taxes.

Instead, they want to make their money tax free and many time send that money out of the United States. They want to keep even the part due as taxes.

And for the most part, they do keep it.

That's one of the major problems regular tax-paying Americans have with illegal aliens. Illegals for the most part want the right to make money, and live in America, without helping. Without paying their way. Instead they are a burden.

The pilgrims weren't a burden. The pilgrims paid for their way. They made sure they pulled their weight - they did their part. They sent nothing back to England. They had the name and all the responsibility with it.

That's the difference. Think about it. Do you really want to become legal?
