Hi Tonym...how have you been? My ? is this..You say there isnt a recession..and you say the 'so-called recession' hasnt effected Texas...Isnt the reason (for tens of thousands of new residence there and money appropriation) due to the high number of 'illegals' gaining entry into the US via the lovely state of Texas? I know for a fact (in VA) when 'illegals' get here, they're granted money, foodstamps, housing, transportation...the list goes on and on..My question is Why? Why does the Federal and local government do this for them, when 'legal' Americans who are truly facing financial hardships are turned away when THEY seek the same assistance? And, isnt it, ultimately, 'legal' taxpayers 'footing the bill' for 'illegals' to get and continue receiving this 'assistance' ? In VA, they can get this assistance for up to 2 years! Also, in VA, GA and Fla, (Americans) are losing jobs because plants are moving to other countries (cheaper labor) so not only are Americans losing jobs, the same 'illegals' reaping the 'benefits' we have to 'offer' them, are also working at these plants in their 'home' country. People often say Americans are 'greedy' but isnt it because its more expensive (for us Americans) to live in the US? I dont know alot about politics...but I do know, there's definately a 'something' happening in Florida! (unemployment rates here are one of the highest in the country!) And many believe its due to these plants shutting down and/or moving to other countries.
