I agree completely. And it is true. I have known or heard of plenty of illegal immigrants getting free health care, and even getting a full scholarship for college while plenty of citizens are being left out of one or both of these benefits. My dad once worked with an illegal immigrant (yes he was Mexican) whose pregnant wife had complications while giving birth, and they also went to an expensive hospital. It ended up costing over $27,000! Im not saying that she shouldnt have gotten any help, but think about it, we are paying for it. If some thousands of illegal immigrants are crossing the boarders every year, and say even 3 percent of them have complications during birth, that is alot of money that we as citizens have to pay for. If we have to pay for that, then we should at least be paying for citizens, not illegal immigrants. Oh, and I am refering to all illegal immigrants, not just the Mexicans. Look at it this way, if all of a sudden a huge influx of Japanese people started immigrating illegally to somewhere like China, the Chinese government wouldnt stand for it, no more than Americans should have to stand for Mexicans or any other illegal immigrants flooding into our country.
I think my father and Mother got it on is the U.S and I was born here.And if I figured it right they probley had Davy Croket on the radio when they were doing it.I could just see pop busting a move.

the point...the point? Is that point where we decide when history began here in this country? Is that the point where we started deciding who got to come here and who couldn't? It became illegal when what sovereignty governed the land, exactly?

I was being facetious, brother. I am the red-blooded, flag waving, America loving veteran of the world, man. But, I do believe if anyone wants to come live here to seek a better life, they should damn well be allowed.
I agree. I had a similiar argument while studying geneaology. We were arguing on whose family was older. The other person said to me that they're paperwork was lost in the flood (Noah), lol.
Nobody here (well, I can only speak for myself) has any problem with "immigration"... it's that teensy tiny little word that people like to leave off the front of it (psst... illegal) that I, at least have a problem with.
I agree, that we live in the greatest country there ever was... and I don't blame anybody for wanting to come here... however, there are proper channels to go thru... and then there's BREAKING the law.
I'm sorry Jesse. I know we're all irritating the hell out of you because we won't stay inside you box...but just think if the immigrants of today did what our forfathers did. We just be all dead and ther'd be no problemo I'm sorry for yanking your chain, you can tell me to go F&^% myself now
