When there are police around, I try to stay very cool and avoid talking, since I don’t speak English.

Elsewhere in the article it says she has been here seven years.

Someday, our benevolent government will eliminate any need for private charities.

"Parasites."

Deport'em all. If the ones "with documents" (i.e. the "anchor babies") want to come back after they've grown up--fine).

That’s not enough for their family of seven in Overland Park.

Gosh, I'm appalled that we are forcing people to continue having kids they cannot support! We need to stop that right now!

“God provides,” her husband said.

That must be how "US Taxpayer" is translated into Spanish.....

Speaking it is hard if you don't practice. Most understand English very well. Our Hispanic pastor moved here 1 1/2 years ago and he can understand it very well but he has trouble speaking it.

Face it, cheap maids are very popular.

WHY DO THEY HAVE 5 CHILDREN IF THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO SUPPORT THEM? And he's actually got 7, since he's got 2 back in Mexico from a prior marriage.

The children eat free lunches and breakfasts at school, saving the family about $160 a month in groceries.

This has GOT to stop. The ridiculousness of allowing known illegals to cash in on American generosity makes us vulnerable to the massive burden of millions of illegals. Like this man, even if they come with skills, they cannot use them in the marketplace because their lack of proper documentation would be apparent in more sophisticated work settings. So we end up with more and more people living in poverty. UGH!

They couldn't afford to pay for the birth of their child (US Taxpayer's paid for it!) but they could afford a $3,000 SMUGGLER & $200 for FAKE DOCUMENTS (ruining someone's life!) to get the rest of the family to the US ILLEGALLY?!!!

I may have done something bad, but it’s not like killing a person.
 
may have??
 
Funny, as a Catholic, (which most Mexicans are) I was taught stealing is stealing, whether is was a dime, a dollar or a car. Yeesh... deport the lot of them, I will be more than willing to pay more for my fruit if I pay less in taxes

our gubmint steals it from us to give to them.

I'd like my odds better if they did have to steal it directly from me.

In November 2002, he flew to Ciudad Juarez, over the border from El Paso, Texas. He took a bus to meet a coyote, or human smuggler, and then simply walked across the border. Border Patrol agents caught him.

They took him back to Mexico. He tried again the next day and made it.

In Kansas City, he moved in with his sister, spent $200 for fake documents and began stocking supermarket shelves.

The $200 spent on the phony I.D.s was smart, but the master stroke was when she popped out the anchor babies on US soil. The gravy train then left the station; let the freeloading begin!

Back home, they looked over their medical bills.

They owed Children’s Mercy Hospital $372 for the 16-year-old son’s emergency room visit for an infected foot. The hospital gave them a voucher for free medicine.

They owed Truman Medical Center about $200 for a recent emergency room visit to treat Monroy’s bronchitis. He was trying to set up a payment plan. He missed one day of work. (“I don’t go to work, I don’t get paid,” he said, exhausted, after he’d returned from the emergency room that night.)

Señora Monroy owes the University of Kansas Hospital nearly $800 for earlier visits. The Monroys have agreed to pay $56 a month.


That part of the article is BS! Illegal immigrants do NOT get charged for emergency visits. The hospitals run on social security numbers. Illegal immigrants get put in as 000-00-0000, that is auto cue for illegal immigrant and the govt steps in.
