    But with democrats they have no clue what "legal" means.

    I think we have vastly differing ideas of what "needs of the United States" actually mean.

    Correct. Some crime or no crime.

    Given the labor shortage it's clear that republicans do not know.

    So enforce the laws put there for a purpose or don't. No new law required. There are plenty of laws to regulate our immigration system. All we have to do is use the system correctly.

    I don't do quotes. You can scan this forum for answers if you like. I read democrats writing in this forum that there are no illegal aliens because applying for asylum is legal. It is. But entering somewhere other than a port of entry is not legal regardless of the reason for the entry. I'll be interested to know whether you found such a statement or not.

    Because it codifies illegal entry rather than enforcing 8 US code #1325. It is a way to normalize the illegal entry of 5000 people per day. It is one more tool in the democrat effort at national gerrymandering. That is why.

    But it does. Wishing it doesn't or believing it doesn't has no effect on the facts.

    Your orange dotard considers himself the alpha elite and he has been cheating all his life.
    And if you think that the elite 1% is anyone who earns over 150k/year, you have no idea what you're talking about.

    150k seems pretty low for top 1%. 90th percentile is like 190k. What's the Income of the Top 10%, 5%, and 1%? (fool.com)

    That could be true. I'm not aware of all the bills.

    Every opinion comes from the experience of a person combined with his savvy and understanding. When you start to describe what's real or right or wrong, in places you have never been and about things you have never done.... You have no opinion, just fantasy speculation. And of course, rely on personal slander rather than performance in the job in question as your tools- because you have no way to understand the conditions you are talking about.

    Currently, the 1% bracket starts at about $546K, average $819K.

    The top 10% are paying 71% of the total tax revenue. The bottom 50% pay only about 3% .
    But that top 1% is paying 40% of all income tax revenue.

    The people in the 5-10 bracket make 11% of all income, pay 11% of all taxes. Those making more pay increasingly, with the top 1% providing almost twice the tax revenue as their share of total earnings.
    Those making less, pay less increasingly, with the 25-50 bracket at about half.

    That makes more sense, I don't understand this line from the OP "The elite 1%—individuals who make over $150,000 a year,..."... It's apparently not income that's making them the elite 1%. Did you mean the elite 10%?

    I like the chart, but it definitely doesn't make me feel like the rich are paying too much. Too little? Debateable. But not too much. Those in the middle class look to be the worst off. Paying 19-21% but only making 43.6-152k.

    It is illegal to enter under false premises or fraudulent documentation.
