"I'm for reducing welfare just as much as you are. But I'm opposed to welfare payments to Americans just as much as illegals. Because I'm opposed to welfare payments. I don't care who is receiving them. (You'll find that a large majority of "legal" Americans receiving welfare payments are "illegal" in many other areas of their lives as well.)"

TEXAS WE ARE GETTING SOMEWHERE!!!
You and I may reach consensus afterall....follow me with this one....

If we take thos ABLE BODIED AMERICANS off welfare and make the work for their money and use that money (in the billions) to supplement into placing the National guard on the border to back up INS, as well as use this money to deport illegals and back end former welfare recipients with these jobs we may reach an end to illegal immigration.

I'm curious, where are you getting that Bush wants to give welfare to illegal immigrants? I think this is being blown out of proportion by the hate Bush crowd and misunderstood by many conservatives.

Haha. I don't want one government handout shifted to another (unnecessary national guard additions). I'd rather just let the people who just want to work (which helps our economy) come here. Work/people = capital.
