Undocumented People Pay Taxes: Here's How | Define American
How can a church say premarital sex is temptation and lust and sin, but it's cool if you're LGBT? Likewise, how can a church say we used to have rules, but now these parts no longer apply because secular politics have changed?
This Jose Antonio Vargas and his family had the opportunity to legalize their status in early 2001 through then President Clinton's Immigration Law 245i. They were already adults then. However, they ignored it. I was here without papers too (though I came here legally as a tourist) but I did grabbed the advantage given by President Clinton right away. I looked for an employer who was willing to sponsor me to work as a caregiver in her geriatric nursing homes because that was the job that was available for aliens. My employer followed the legal process. She had to prove to the US Department of Labor that no American citizen wants my job which is a very important work to our society. I humbly accepted the job responsibilities of an aide working in long hours shifts despite my two college degrees in my mother country plus years of graduate school. I was not allowed to change employment while being petitioned. I got my work permit, then eventually my green card and now I am an American citizen doing the job I really love. I think Mr. Vargas now wants blanket amnesty for himself. He and his family continued to break US immigration laws so why should he demand to become a US citizen?
I LOVE US!
Those who hate de “illegals” do they know the US history? Time to pay back and compensate to Mexican people for their land stolen only 175 years ago (almost half of the “US”)😊
Great story, highly recommend seeing her live or catching her first stand up on MAX!
What a joke. 😂
Sexxxx😂
It's Geographical Identity
Thats a cholo?
I Love Us‼️‼️
Your not with the 13 Sur and you ain’t no cholo you are a punk
So fvcking sad to see so many Latinos here being intolerant and prejudiced against a gay Latino who just happens to be a Cholo. They are making all Latinos look bad by doing this and proving the racists right when they say Latinos are uneducated, ignorant, and stupid. Gay people exist in ALL groups, colors and races. If Latinos can't stand together as one, they will fall divided. Get educated.
This guy calls himself a cholo but he isn’t a gangster. He knows better than to do that.
Did no one hear her definition of being an American?🤔
Goddam 😂😂😂😂
Nice
Probably he got abused by the homosexual priests at the Catholic church.
❤
So what you are saying is.. Americans need to STOP filing by SS # we all need to get tax id numbers just like the illegals
He's from gay boy gangsters lol
gbg is real ???
He's probably from 18th Street
She's illegal
Hi from the future things did not work out to well
WTF..🤣
'No human being is illegal' ? being a human is one thing , doing something as a human is another thing !
This is way weird . Im out .
You are not an American , your Asian .
Omg I don't even know what to say
You and me both 😮😂😂😢
Damn, hes looks good as fuck.
He just felt attracted to cholos ! Definitely not one . Wanna be 😂
You are stereotyping an entire group. There have always been gay cholos, just like there are gay emos, skinheads, and any other marginalized group. Get educated.
On Tuesday i got if im Dominican. Im a MGM
Isn't the story of getting old all about losing your fun spots and clubs? Time for a library card
This has to be a joke.
Cali out here looking bad. Lol. Texas stand up
The Gay Latinos in TX will fuck you up if you make fun of them. They act like family should. They stand up just fine, son.
This Jew is White when he wants to be. When will Jews take responsibility for Jewish systemic racism, their pathological hatred for Blacks, Arabs and Whites, their involvement in the North Atlantic, Middle Eastern or Ottoman slave trade, their profiting from racial division? When are they going to pay reparations? BTW When will Palestinians have equals rights?
Before Mateo I have never seen producers write an undocumented character with complexity. On top of that this is the first gay and undocumented person I have ever seen on tv. I have been waiting years to see this and it was done very well.
Black lives matter seemed hostile and rude. Disorganized most of the time. Overall a reason for people to continue being more rude than regularly... .
So when they are handed $750 in cash after mowing lawns all week they mail in 30% of that every week to the IRS? And you know this how?
Can you prove they don't? How much have you paid in taxes
Multiculturalism is a failed experiment. It will continue to fail. You can not expect a bunch of people set in their value systems to be as one. It is not working out.

In all likelihood the US will likely become like Brazil. Immigration will likely greatly diminish at some point and then people will just define their ethnic group as American sometime by the 22nd or 23rd century.
Only 5% of the world is white. There will be none left soon. The world's rarest color is white.
I’m curious as to why they never informed ICE that Matteo is undocumented. I don’t understand why they risked time in jail/prison for aiding and abetting when they could’ve just called ICE, had him gone and then everything goes back to normal.
Does Baltimore city have covert gay MS-13 gang members? 🤔
You're doing a HORRIBLE JOB, and are A TRAITOR
Except, you’re not a dad. You’re a mentally ill mom that’s lopped off her body parts. :/
Humans can't be illegal, but their actions can be. The term "illegal alien" is a legal term and it means a person who is present on a certain territory without proper authorization.
The legacy of looting is a doubled murder rate in the community and no one cares.
