Boat Charities

reading in the newpaper yesterday, 18 cubans landed on the west coast of Florida that were headed to Miami, strong winds took them to west. They came to the US and are being allowed to stay! I strongly disargee. If you come to US soil/land illegaly, you should be sent back in 24 hours. it’s not fair to our workers. immigrants don’t pay taxes, social security, insurance, but when it comes time for them to collect Social security @ 65, they are the 1st in line. It’s an outrage. These people were spotted by a sprimp boat driver on a Hwy walking soaked with ocean water, dehydrated and with hypothermia. They should get a hot meal, dry clothes and a ticket back to their country. What if it were an Arab or Chinese person, we would be worried about terrorism or the Avian/Chicken flu coming over with them. What’s the difference? As a PROUD, strong Latino I’m going to have to disagree strongly with swimming or boating immigrants.

How great would it be to have a flat 20% tax on all purchases in place of income tax. 12% to go to federal and 8% to the state in which the item was purchased. That way all are truly equal no loopholes for anyone. If you can afford a 10 mill dollar boat you can afford the tax and those who need governmant assistance would also be paying back into the system since we are all consumers as well as immigrants living in a country illegally would be paying into the services needed to run the communities in which they live.
