OldFriend, you have the right answer. To turn off the spigot of despicable people simply turn off welfare benefits, school, everything except truly emergency care. Those who can work, will and should prosper and share our values and get on the path towards citizenship. Those who don't will go home when they're hungry. The biggest mistake was when we gave the ACLU the right to sue for these things. We should take away that jurisdiction.
California did that with 187. A Leftist Judge just decreed it Unconsitutional. One of the reason the Donner party Freepers are so stupid. They are activly working for Democrats who appointed that Judge.
Fifteen years ago my hubby took my son for his driver's test. The test was being given in many languages. How ridiculous is that. The road signs and the street signs are in ENGLISH. If a person can't read english why should they get a drivers license.
We have encouraged illegals with all sorts of gimme's for decades. Now we've decided we don't want them here.
Better late than never. Start enforcing ENGLISH only in business, in schools. What a horrible thing to do, teach grammar school in Spanish. How in the world does that help anyone get an education here in America.
So many cities refuse to demand proof of citizenship before giving away benefits.
I'm all for emergency hospital care....EMERGENCY only.
