Haha, this is pathetic, but funny. I hope they withhold the taxes on the winnings, about $500 or so. I would like to see an illegal immigrant try to sue a tribal Indian casino for discrimination, oh the irony.

US Govt should make a deal-

Give us the winnings and the citizenship is yours!

I often thought that was great way to kill the deficit. Since coming to the US seems to be an attractive thing, why not charge fort it(supply and demand) Cost depends on what skills you have. Top flight engineer-low cost, unskilled laborer-high cost. Political refugees and asylum seekers- free. get a discount if you join the military etc...

Current illegal alien? pay us $100m and all is forgiven!

Immigration reform is a critical issue for conservatives. We need to come up with a strategy that will reverse the trend that has cost us elections and threatens our ability to win in the future.

How do you strategize against free shit that's really not free? The Dems know it's not free but depend on left wing idiots to believe it is. When the GOP figures that out, they will have something.

Many people emigrating to this country, legal or not, are filling jobs that 'Americans' have little desire to do ... Years ago, in our group of immigrant employees who were pushing mowers and swinginging picks, we had Master Electricians, Electrical Engineers & other edumacated types ... The initial idea with many immigrants is to send money home to give their families a better life ... If they are lucky, build a life here and bring their family over ... One 'legal' Mexican man I know works here from February through mid December ... When he gets here on Greyhound, he buys a pick up truck and drives it all year ... At the end of the year he drives it to Mexico and gives it to his Father ... I've known him over 20 years and he does this EVERY year ...

I see the real problem that needs fixing is illegal versus legal alien status ... ( I know many people assume every Mexican is illegal ) ... How should that be fixed ? Should it be made easier or more difficult ? Many business' depend on the supply of cheap labor ... The general public is dependant upon it ... Look in any restaurant kitchen ... Who is mowing your lawn ? ( hopefully your DD :o ) ... I broke down on the Interstate and called a Diesel Road Service to bail me out. A Hispanic Mechanic had me going in short order ... At that moment, I'm ashamed to say I didn't care if he was legal or not ... ;)

I'm thinking $200m just to apply but whatever floats your boat.

We're reaching the end of that road so they won't be able to keep kicking that can much further. I seriously doubt Washington will accomplish anything meaningful in the next 2 months, but it's getting much harder for them to keep putting it off. The debt ceiling appears to be the only card the GOP has to force the issue. They need to figure out how to cut spending while growing the economy in a way that benefits the most people.

The GOP has a lot of challenges it needs to address from expanding its base to figuring out how to run more effective campaigns.

Wrong. This is The Pub, which is for discussing non-softball topics.

i must add that unless you're of hispanic descent or Native American, you also are imigrants so chew on that. :o :lol: :shock:

Wrong again - we're all immigrants. Hispanic includes descendents from Spain and Portugal. Native Americans immigrated here from Asia across the Bering Strait.

Care to try again?

Looks like someone either forgot to take their meds, or hit the peyote a bit to much.

My great grandmother survived the Trail of Tears, so dont even start with any racial crap on my first comment.
