In other words, we want them here. We've voted with the almighty buck.

The federal government is taking a lot of our "almighty bucks" away from us in the form of taxes in order to pay for services to illegal aliens including free public school education for their children, free unlimited medical care for the whole family, welfare, food stamps, WIC, etc. That's some deal us Americans are getting. We pay 79 cents for a head of lettuce at the grocery store while at the same time paying thousands of dollars in taxes to subsidize the "cheap" illegal alien labor used to pick the lettuce.

The Federal Government does not provide free public school education or free unlimited medical care. If these services are provided, it's by State and Local Governments.

I don't agree with any level of government providing free social services to Legal immigrants and Americans, much less illegals -- certainly not on the current level. Some minimum benefits for the truly needy I can live with, but we need more workers and producers in this country -- not more leeches.

It has been pointed out in the past that Texas has less of a problem with illegal aliens than California, and it's also been pointed out that Texas is less generous with free social services and free $$$$ than California. That is not a coincidence, any more than it is a coincidence that San
Francisco is overrun with "homeless" (i.e. BUMS) collecting $400 a month from the City.
