In case that’s not clear enough, in April 2013 Senate negotiators debated whether to require employers of illegal aliens to calculate the Social Security taxes that would have been collected from an American worker. “They chose the milder approach,” Politico reported, requiring illegal aliens to pay only those taxes already “assessed” by the IRS. Which, again, is: Zero. Kelsey Snell, “Gang of Eight Rolls Dice on Immigration,” Politico, April 18, 2013,

As Putnam described it: “[I]nhabitants of diverse communities tend to withdraw from collective life, to distrust their neighbours, regardless of the colour of their skin, to withdraw even from close friends, to expect the worst from their community and its leaders, to volunteer less, give less to charity and work on community projects less often, to register to vote less, to agitate for social reform
more,
but have less faith that they can actually make a difference, and to huddle unhappily in front of the television.” Ibid.
