After all, one of these “kids” may have my SS number, for all I know.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

My apologies! I was a bit flippant with remark!

But, that still doesn't change the fact that if he wasn't here illegally, he might still be alive.

[Tennessee Nana]

I applied for SS a few months before I turned 62 so I would get something..

that’s one thing I checked on...I’m the only one who used the number...which I received the first day I went to an appointment with the INS when I arrived here...

so Ive had it for 45+ years...plenty of time to be stolen...

[Leep]

Heis travelled 100 miles from his unlawful residence of Lufkin, Texas.

[Tennessee Nana]

no not 22...they just adjusted it ...the average age is 25 now...Harris Faulkner said they had just changed it...that it was higher than previously reported (well it would be wouldn’t it ???)

25 is older than I was when I left “the only home I had ever known” and come to “a strange country I didn’t know”

SOB SOB po lil me...

and I MADE IT !!!

[Mears]

What always astonishes me about “The only home they have ever known” nonsense is they didn’t want the slews of young people that poured in here several years ago to be RETURNED TO THE ONLY HOME THAT THEY HAVE EVER KNOWN. They wanted them to stay in a strange country.

Libs are nuts.

I’m sick of these criminals being referred to as “dreamers.” Why are “dreamers?” Why not schemers?

[Tennessee Nana]

theyre Mexicans having an American Dream...

American dreams are for Americans...

these illegal aliens have their own Mexican dream...

DREAM stands for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors

While Congress debates issues regarding comprehensive immigration reform, the Department of Homeland Security has implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program, effective August 15, 2012, in hopes of providing some form of temporary relief to the DREAMers in the U.S. You can read more about the DACA Program here.

The DACA Program mirrors many of the requirements first proposed by Senators in the DREAM Act of 2001. As legislation around this issue evolves, LawLogix will continue to provide more information to our readers.

That one can stay.

[wardaddy]

From 1941 to 1945 420,000 illegals aliens from the United States died in Europe trying to save Europe from itself

They had dreams

Next.

[11Bush]

Not sure where you got your 420,000 figure, but total WWII dead was a little over 405,000 and that includes both theaters.

I do understand the sentiment of you post and somewhat agree with it.

[T-Bone Texan]

Yes, he was absolutely a looter, coming in to town to steal from the victims.

There are lots of people like him here in TX.

They need to be excreted from our sacred soil.

[T-Bone Texan]

By the way, excellent use of the word “succor” by you.

[longtermmemmory]

did somebody screw up his application? something is not right.

[Tennessee Nana]

I’m an excellent little old lady...

I’m an IMMIGRANT...

and now an American citizen...
