@Resino92 You're close. taxes come out of their checks, just like everybody else, BUT, at tax time, they can't claim it. That's why the illegals aren't going anywhere, the government is making too much money off of them.
"... you call them immirgants and take them to court but look at your own hood you all lack in support some of these djs have no idea what they are playing some of these rhymers dont realize what the hell they are saying ..." so i let em chase the cash honey without a plan ..." absolutely great track. LOVE IT!
@Striker51z Why are you making such a bad generalization? What jobs are you talking about? Manual labor? Crime? You think there are not educated undocumented people here that are much more productive individuals than most US citizens? Stop making hasty generalization and educate yourself pal. Elevate your thinking because you are far from anything wise.
@resino92 could say the same thing about you with hasty generalization. To start with jobs, i mean with most manual labor jobs because people realise that they can pay them for less hense they arnt citizens and its better then where they come from, By crime its a strait and forward connection with mexico's economy. Since the economy sucks there people dont have the money to buy drugs ontop of the horrible wadges they got in mexico. Besides with our economy as it is, we dont need more people.
@Striker51z Those jobs that they perform will continued to be payed the same, even if you get rid of illegal immigrants. You think that if there were no illegals, fieldwork and cleaning jobs will be payed at a higher price? Makes no sense! Drugs lingers in any place not just in countries like the us. I understand that you don't like immigrants, but saying that they are criminals and take your jobs is not true. What job did they take away from you? You can't work in the fields because of them?
@resino92 my friend, im not saying all illeagles are criminals. Let me set you strait. Alot of the illeagle immigrants are paid at a lower wadge then your average american because buissness men can take advantage of them and some do migrate here for work, i can understand that but they arnt helping are economy since they dont pay most of our taxes. The drug part is fairly self explanitory and the dealers are part of the drug cartel and trust me, you dont want those guys here.
@Striker51z The jobs that illegals perform are payed at the minimum wage because those jobs do not require any type of degree, therefore those jobs will continued to be payed at minimum wage. Trust me "business men" cannot pay someone less than minimum wage, its against the law. And regarding taxes, they get payed and part of their wages gets deducted to cover the tax of medicare, social security among other taxes where they don't benefit.
@Striker51z So in reality they are paying taxes to fund entitlement programs where they do not benefit. They can't receive social security, but yet money gets deducted from their checks to fund these programs. In essence don't you think that americans actually benefit from this? America is stealing money from illegals yet they argue that they take our jobs?
@resino92 no, the fact is illeagle immigrants pay practically no taxes because the government doesnt know they're there. No we dont benifit from it because we have to pay for their free medicare and food stamps while they pay no taxes. Again, we dont need more people in the economy because we dont have many jobs to go around. So tell me how do they stimiulate the economy when you still got like 12% of people jobless while we are still in a ressesion.
@Striker51z I reiterate that they DO pay taxes. How can you avoid paying taxes when the government takes it away from every check, illegal or not? You stimulate the economy by creating more jobs. Perhaps jobs that pay more so that americans will want them. Illegals only make up a little fraction of the population, and i do not see how they affect the us negatively. believe me, I am from California and best believe that i want my supermarket to be full of produce, produce that "illegasl" harvest.
@resino92 First, your being to narrow minded, there are a heck of alot more taxes then what just comes out of your pay check and when you buy something, look it up. Also, it doesnt matter if it creates more jobs because the most of the money is either sent back home or the guy can jump back accrost the border and spend it there. And someone really hasnt been doing there homework, do some youtubing or something, there are atleast a couple million illeagles here in the US, which is still alot.
Good to know that Chuck D hasn't gone soft like the rest of em'. 99% of the hip hop being made today is SHIT! It's all about having money and gettin' laid. Who the fuck cares what kind of car some rapper drives or how many chicks he's banged? Chuck D and a few like him haven't forgotten that music can change the world. Speak out against the injustice you see around you 'cause in the blink of an eye it can be happening to you.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!?!?!? Are you listening to this song? Who gives a shit if it's a "political rap"! Listen to how pathetic the message is!!
tightest political rap in a frickin long time (if not ever). Chuck D married a Ph.D and got even more on it. Now he's calling it all out, even where the 'movement' isn't at (yet).
So uh, is it just me, or is this song saying that we should get rid of the border and let people in freely? Are you serious? That would be terrible! Come on!
@AwesomelyAwsome The song is basically saying that you shouldn't be afraid of immigrants. You shouldn't live in fear of that which is different than you. I didn't hear Chuck suggest any kind of policy, he just sheds light on what is happening.
@soragto yea if they catch ppl crossin the border for like the third time they slice the bottom of ur feet so u dont cross it again, its mad fucked up

we dont need illeagles, we gain nothing but more crime and they take our jobs. I say they should go somewhere else despite how much it sucks there.
