You are correct. I try to make it known it my posts that I'm speaking about ILLEGAL aliens - we need to be able to accomodate those legally immigrating to our shores, and not burden the American citizens with the costs of their presence. My families migrated here back in the 17th century (some were already here) - they paid their own way. Same for legal immigrants.
IIRC, some legislators are attempting to allows illegals to attend colleges at in-state rates, which is a slap in the face to our citizens. Two years ago I was getting my license renewed, and the English speaking friend of a women of Spanish descent DEMANDED that the State Patrol give her the test in Espanol. The officer, and the hundred or so of us in line, laughed at the request. Why should she be able to take the test in Spanish when the street signs are in English?
