Oh my God, this is the truth! I took a neighbor to get her initial food stamp allotment, last month. Her husband is out of work due to disability...but was turned down. He needs surgery. The place we went to is a zoo! We were there for 4 hours just for a simple piece of paper. Hopefully her twins will start to gain weight. They're 13 but look like they're 10. Btw, they're white folks, as am I.

I was approved for MediCal, but never got my card. I don't understand how people can fill out this paperwork not knowing English. Yes I know the paperwork comes in 17 languages, but as a reasonably intelligent person, the paperwork is a confusing nightmare. I can't get hold of my worker to discuss "share of cost", either. I've heard 3 different stories at the county health clinic regarding that issue.

I'm pretty clever at crunching the budget, but there is only so much you can do.

This supposedly was an e-mail to Tancredo but there's no way of verifying whether any of it is true or it's authentic.

I understand your concerns, but it's probably authentic. If you're white and show up at county, you are scrutinized very carefully, because we all know there are no poor white people.

If it's authentic, what's the name of the person who wrote the letter? Her location?

It's impossible to verify the authenticity of this letter without a starting place.

Before I went back to college, I worked as an electrician and I can tell you that nothing made my day more than dropping dime on other contractors that were hiring illegals. One phone call to the INS resulted in 75 arrests and cost the company a $500,000 fine. It was also reported in the Indianapolis Star on the front page.

The contractors desire to hire illegals ended up costing him his company as he later went under.

The cop (Santa Monica, CA) just shrugged his shoulders and handed me back my papers. He told me they were under "instructions," not "orders," to leave the illegals alone, as they took all day to process, had no ID, DL, or Insurance, and would just disappear, without paying the fines into the city's coffers.

Damn. It figures, though.

If you need to place blame on someone for the illegal alien mess, you need look no further than Ted Kennedy, whose team of left-wing wonks wrote the Immigration Reform Act of 1965. (He of course being far too drunk to write anything himself.)

ROTF!!! High Fives Kenny!!! Hahaha, oh that's funny!

As if it is not bad enough that the Catholic Church is riddled with Sexual Predators, the local preists in my city are encouraging the citizens to embrace their hispanic brothers and sisters even if they are illegal and to open their homes to their aid.

What a Joke!
Are they just trying to increase the weekly tithes?

This is America ...get it right

Will we still be the Country of choice and still be America if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in America because it is the Country of Choice??????

Think about it . . .

All I have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS?  I celebrate Christmas, but because it isn't celebrated by everyone, we can no longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Greetings.  It's not Christmas vacation, it's Winter Break.  Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holiday?  We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone, that I am now being offended.  But it seems that no one has a problem with that.

 This says it all !

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture.  Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans.  However, the dust from the attacks had
barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about  the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America .  Our population is almost entirely made up of  descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have
recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity.  As Americans, we have our own culture, our
own society, our own language and our own lifestyle.  This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,Russian, or any other language.  Therefore, if you wish to become part  of our society, learn the language !

"In God We Trust" is our national motto.  This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan.  We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented.  It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.  If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture !

If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.  We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things
where you came from.  This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle.  Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so.  But once you are done complaining, whining,
and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom...
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

"...the guy who wanted to see an honor student deported"

Well, if the student was an illegal...so what!

I'd go a step farther. I do not believe that a child should have the priviledge of becoming a US citizen if his parents both came here illegally. Maybe give him/her a chance when they are 18, but not until then.

Toss 'em all out. Wait in line and pay like everyone else does.

I guess the good news for me is that at least I know that after I get married and I return from my studies in China in 2 years, I wont have to mess with doing any INS paperwork to bring my fiance back with me....we can just trot right through the pearly gates of Mexico....I mean, once they are here, they can stay right ? /sarcasm

That's true. I'm just going on personal experience. White people tend to get a chilly reception when trying to access these programs. I was on food stamps briefly in '99. I worked 40 hrs a week for minumum wage. My ex and I were not divorced at the time and he refused to pay anything towards taking care of the kids. Until he started paying child support, I relied on food stamps for several months. I'm actually still qualified, but I hate the paperwork and the nasty attitudes one has to put up with to get them.

I have read an account of how in Taiwan there are manuals on how to get your elderly parents on SSI once you get them here. Thank the lord then we have a compassionate president because now our government will take over this private sector initiative and save these "immigrants" the hastle of spending their own money in the "Fleecing of America."

I used to work in the building trade as a mason back in the seventies, The illegals drove me out of business by working dirt cheap. Wages in the a lot of trades have either declined or stayed flat for over 20 years. The GOP killed the working class and now the GOP is trying to kill the middle class. The elites won't be happy until we are all serfs.

Thier plan is to import cheap labor from Mexico to drive now wages in the trades and export tech jobs to drive down wages in middle class jobs. It is a very good plan and it's working.

Interestingly enough we were sued by an "immigrant" when my husband rearended him going about 5 miles an hour at "rush hour"

I've seen guys driving old clunkers and making quick stops in heavy traffic. Must be a major source of income for this crowd.

Even better, the school district that my kids are in deliberately moved Spring Break (formerly know as Easter vacation) a week after Easter. If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.

Lol, maybe another planet. I heard that Mars has water, maybe oxygen :-)

Seriously, I agree with everything you said. I like that driver's license too!

The Conservative Movement in America is not dead by any stretch of the imagination; it is simply ignored and taken for granted! Like many of the 75 to 80% who consider themselves "Conservative" Republicans, we have a critical decision to make in the intervening months before the next election.

It is painfully real that the will of "We The People" is being looked aside; our present administration has left us at a fork in the road. To successfully pass throught these uncertain times we find ourselves in between a rock and a hard place. The Republican Party has devolved and morphed into a Socialist Party of the Elites. Patriachal Families consider this their "RIGHT" to go against the voting public and plod along their preferred route to some sort of utopia that they plan to finance on the backs of TAXPAYERS! It has now come to this... Since we are at a fork in the road it is now time for us to depart on a separate path to a more perfect union of like minded Patriotic Citizen Warriors.

We must find a New Party Label that better defines what "Conservative" means and new Patriots who will wear this label to the benefit of all this Country's Citizens! I would support "The Constitution Party" or "The Conservative Party" or any other valid party name that clearly identifys the true "Will Of The People". I have used the revolutionary phrase "No Taxation Without Representation" lately and because I personally feel I am not properly represented I join in an increasing majority of Citizen Warriors who will write in my vote! I am once again calling for a National Referendum to identify and unify a platform of valid candidates "Conservative Voters" can rally and support as write in Candidates. There are many who support this measure and it is sorely needed for this Country to survive. The answer to this question gives you all the proof you need to establish the need to increase your choices as a Patriotic Voter. If you are like most people myself included; your vote in previous elections went to someone who was considered the lesser of two evils. You did not cast a vote for someone who you were totally on fire for so be true at least to yourself! If political Power truly resides with the people then we are guilty of abusing it by not holding those we elect accountable for their Traitorous Acts! There is no way to side step the issues facing us in the future. We either decide to continue the same path of Lies & Deception that gives us bad Government and increased Defecit Spending or we take a different path at the fork in the road to a better life for all of us!

We have the time availiable to us right now to select and agree upon a different course of action that is Responsive and accountable to "We The People". It appears that we are going to be forced into a New and Better for all situation that will send a strong message to the Congress and all Politicians to shape up to the people's demands or prepare to be Impeached! The first step to Cleaning House & Senate is my National Referendum to locate and identify a new breed of Patriot Warrior that will enjoy the Mandate of "WE THE PEOPLE". Socialism is a Disease of opportunity that is inbred into society! The cancerous outgrowth of it is lazy virrulent liberalism, that lies & apologizes for all its failures and engenders easy acceptance of its deadly agenda.

This current administration is working on the assumption that the vast right wing of political persuasion will continue to bathe itself in the misguided notion that there is no difference between (conservative)republicism as is now represented versus True Accountable Conservatism that I propose through our New Patriotic Warrior Conversion Party that works for the benefit of all Americans, instead of to the exclusion! Support a "National Referendum" in the time remaining before election and we will send a SHOCKING MESSAGE to the motley crew in Washington D.C. and then finally with Almighty Jehovah God's Blessing you will have someone to "VOTE FOR"! This is the change the Country needs!

You are aware of what country Puerto Ricans are citizens of, right?

I think Puerto Rico should be given their independence -- they've earned it.

The illegals sure have made a difference in my life. They should be deported -- something that can be readily done.

In our area violent home invasions gangs (consisting of both illegal and legal immigrants) are active. A relative was hurt by a drunken illegal. Foreigns presently are forming formidable criminal enterprises.

My taxes are high enough, and I resent that any part of them going to lowlife like them.

People I know have lost out on jobs to non-citizens.

Already too many people are in this country and consequently. traffic jams, etc. are getting worse. The quality of life is declining.

It is morally offensive to have special perks provided to illegal aliens. They are criminals. Period.

In the long run illegal aliens will do far more damage to this country than scores of Saddam Husseins.

To call anyone opposed to illegal aliens as a racist is nonsense. I am just as opposed to the Russian Mafia as to the those from Ethiopia. It is racist, however, to favor the illegals from just Mexico over those from other nations.
