Lets see PT, I cant help but reply to your anti I-551 sentiments
I get to pay TAX and SS just like you do, have the same exact ss card as you, but those arent benefits, thats shit you and I pay for our whole lives..hardly seems like a freebie or something I take advantage of. Dont you think so?
I can own property and have credit just like you, but thats no freebie, one needs qualifications, credentials and a source of income for that. I work a salary job and have a side business, EIN, carry insurance , etc, just like you...but I cant vote, uh,sorta taxation without representation for us greencardees. Not sure where I take advantage of anything, but I'd like you to tell me.
I cant hold office or vote, or serve in the forces. Up until a few years ago, I worked as a contractor to AAFES, DOD at bases like Mechanicsburg, Dix, Mcguire,etc, etc. Recently, non citizens are no longer able to do that work, so I am back in private sector cubicle land...less pay, regular guy again.
What are the benefits exactly that you feel I reap so unfairly? How is it I take advantage of this country? I work, I volunteer time to my local community, and fail to see the free ride youre refering to, rather, I feel having a greencard is the shorter end of the stick- we have all the same contributions and expenses but we have no voice, no vote, and as evidenced here, no status in the eyes of the general public. Not that I really give a shit what y'all think of me as long as we all wheel, that can be and if need be can serve as the only thread that connects us, even tho home to me is here.
