Okay, I had to go back and look at my post, because I must not have been clear. I am not advocating for a second that the Entrometidos are entitled to a single thing from the U.S. I am, in fact, pointing out that they have come here because the there where they come from must have less to offer (I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt in determining that they've opted for an upgrade here.)
I'm not saying that it is up to the U.S. to help them out (though isn't that what we've been doing year after year after year with all the foreign aid, all the food, all the technology, all the resources we've exported during the last century or so?) It seems that in giving all that help, we have not achieved the goal (duh! think giving away...think give away...think LIBERAL). These folks come from lands with corrupted governments, or with an impoverished ideology which holds no solution for its people (the Entrometidos we are now talking about), or from just plain old third world status where they haven't gotten off the ground yet...I don't know. But they are leaving something to come to something else.
I am not in favor of them as they are here illegally...
I do not condone them as they are illegal...
I do not want them here because they have served notice that they do not abide by our laws
And neither do I hate them...(I just hate what they are doing to our nation and our national debate right now)
I don't think America exists to support the dregs of the world. I don't think America minds helping out others either. I do not think that all the Entrometidos that are here represent the dregs of their homelands. I do not think for a minute that there aren't some pretty rotten apples in the crowd, either. That's why they must all go and come back in through legal channels (quotas, limits, etc. permitting).
Sorry if I misunderstood you the first time.
I printed at least a half dozen V.D. Hanson essays on the Mexican invasion and what it portends for the US and gave them to my Liberal friend. He promised to read them, but I doubt he will. He's gay, which I only mention because with him, everything's filtered through that one issue. He actually said that the US would be better off if they threw out the Constitution.
You bet where they came from had less to offer. Not only do they have a job here they also get welfare checks, food stamps, subsidized housing, free or reduced (in some states) education expenses because of the color of their skin, free medical care. Need I go on?
