"Well excuse me. If you lost your ID, whose fault is it? I guess it's Bush's fault. Get real pal, if you lost your ID, surely you could remember your Social Security number."
Just being able to rattle off a SSN, does not establish that you are an American citizen.
"Now tell me that if you have your SS#, the government cannot figure out who you are. It's not rocket science to prove who you are since we have the best buearacracy that money can buy."
I guess we should drop everything to check a SSN. No food, no water, no medical care, no jobs until our great bureaucracy finds the time to verify your citizenship?
"As for the second part of your comment, arresting a few illegals IS assisting your fellow citizens, and following the law. Is that OK with you?"
Delaying assistance to those in need is NOT OK with me? I'm sorry to hear that it is with you.
They are not going without food, water or medical care, but jobs? We are supposed to give a job to everone who can't prove they are an American citizen? For every illegal on assistance (or shall I say gravy train), there is an American citizen getting 1/2 of the assistance they are due.
As for your second snyde comment, giving blind assistance to those who blatenly break our laws and suck off the rest of us is not OK. We can give them assistance, food, water and medical care on their way back to the border.
