That's a pretty pathetic story.

I can't read this stuff anymore.....somebody buy this man a cyanide cocktail from Dr. Kevorkian.

Illegal immigration is a problem but here is the flip side of the coin, i.e. we created this mess with the government welfare state.

1. In South Dallas, thousands sit on their lazy asses doing absolutely nothing except living off the government dime (a little drug dealing, prostitution, robbery, etc.) while waiting for some sleazeball trial lawyer to win their frivolous shakedown suits against some doctor, manufacturer, or the local McDonalds for making them too fat.

2. In the rural areas surrounding Dallas, the lower class sits on its collective ass while drawing worker's comp., unemployment comp., or waiting for that personal injury suit to settle. However, they're happy to take that money to blow on cigarettes, the lotto, and Friday and Saturday nights out drinkin' and two-steppin'.

3. In North Dallas, Plano, Frisco, etc., tens of thousands of jobs paying $8 to $15 an hour are filled by illegal immigrants from Mexico, Central and South America. Why? Because the people in #1 and #2 above are "too good" for these types of jobs. While the professional victims are crying about circumstances the immigrants are filling positions for which the "victims" simply won't even take the time to complete an application or interview.

I have no problem with a legal guest worker program provided (a) they are not entitled to welfare and other government handouts, (b) they cannot bring kids with them to burden the public school system, (c) they cannot marry a U.S. citizen without a rigorous background check (at their expense) to ensure that the marriage is not a fraud, (d) any children born in the U.S. are not entitled to automatic U.S. citizenship, (e) a guest worker cannot bring either friends or family to the U.S., (f) there is a 25-year moratorium on non-English speaking immigrants while assimilation occurs, (g) there is an effective deportation system in place, and (h) immigration is based solely on what the immigrant can bring to the U.S. in terms of education, skills, and assets. As for the guest worker program, I'd require Mexico to abandon Spanish as its official language and make English a mandatory second language in its school system. I'd also require Mexico to abandon its no-extradition policy that it uses with glee to harbor fugitives from U.S. justice.

However, I do have a BIG problem with lazy-ass no account native born trash of all races and ethnic backgrounds who live off of the taxpayer while whining about immigrants.

I have had no medical insurance for years and years. I can't afford it. At 33, I got cancer. My doctor told me to go to ACCHS. I don't remember how to spell the state's medical system, since they declined me. My husband 's company had no profit in 6 months, due to theft, and lack of laws at the time to force general contractor's to pay . Without studying my receipts, I was declined. Interesting that the hundreds of illegal Mexicans standing in line, were being given food stamps, and medical care. They did not have social security numbers, and did not speak English. If you don't believe me, look at the application DES uses yourself, spend 5 minutes at DES and remind yourself why you pay taxes. You won't leave smiling.

2 years ago, I announced to my family there would be no turkey for Thanksgiving. We would eat pasta and be thankful we were a family. My Catholic friend made arrangements for me to get a food box from her church. I went, reluctantly. I drove up in my broken old van, and saw a lot full of new (stickers still attached), suburbans. My van was the worst vehicle there, and it hit me that I really was poor! I stood in line for 20 minutes amazed at the number of Mexicans taking box after box of food. When it was my turn, I had to show ID. I was told to leave. There wasn't enough food for me to take a box. I looked around- there were boxes of food everywhere! For a minute I forgot I was White, and in their eyes, not deserving.

This stuff sounds like a load of hooey. And I'm anti-illegal and against the proposal by Bush.

Hey FReepers, write to congress and pass this along. If enough of us write to our congress people, we will get somewhere.

[NoGrayZone]

Absolutely unbelievable. I've heard countless stories like this, just not to this extent. The more I hear, the more outraged I become. Whenever I speak my mind about the illegals (which tends to be often), I am told I'm a racist, which is of course the lefties first and only response. When you tell them stories like this one, they claim it's "propaganda". I think it's about time, we as a people slap their collective butt w/ our collective hand. Enough is enough. p.s. I feel another civil war on the horizon

From the website of the guy who pledged himself to a three-term term limit & recently announced he's running for his fourth term...the guy who wanted to see an honor student deported....the public servant who then refused to be interviewed by newspapers about his actions regarding that student.

[Rome2000]

Your life is not going to change one little bit because the illegals are not being deported and will not be deported.

Changing their status one way or the other does nothing for you, but if it makes you feel any better, maybe Bush can charge them all with trespassing instead of giving them legal status.

Your life will still be the same, but at least the Mexicans would still be illegal.

Recently in Gaithersburg, Maryland, a stone's toss from DC, my girlfriend had the unfortunate opportunity to be hit by an uninsured, illegal Hispanic female driver.

Her Mazda Milennium was totaled, she sustained no physical injuries.

The illegal had no insurance. My girlfriend's insurance company paid off her $30K loan.

She went and purchased another $35K auto...only to have her insurance company (Liberty) raise her insurance from $2K per annum to $6K per annum.

Is that right? Is it fair? She would have had to go into a high risk pool (Progressive). To get around it my company leased her new car from her...I added the vehicle to my insurance and then listed her as an additional driver.

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 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.

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 think this letter should be reposted here every four hours.

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.

[Dante3]

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.

Take another gulp of the Kool Aid and repeat after me!

Illegal aliens are good for America!
