Oh don't I know it, but these people do nothing but take, take, take. There is no reciprocation.
We have an abundance of legal citizens of all colors who want/need and are actually entitled to our free medical care programs unlike the criminals who have broken the law and crossed the border into our sovereign country. I am especially opposed to the hordes of illegals who populate our ER waiting rooms for health issues that are in no way medical emergencies (colds, ear infections, headaches, etc., etc.) They bog down the triage system and actually cause delays in treatment to people who have real medical emergencies.
Engrpat, your story about the charity reminds me of something my brother told me this past year. He lives in one of those affluent suburbs north of Dallas and handles the collections for his Catholic parish. The church has a Spanish speaking Mass for all the illegals in the area. He said the collection plate at this service is always practically empty. Yet these Spanish speaking parishioners are the ones who expect and demand the church fund expensive services and programs IN SPANISH exclusively for them and their children.
You mean those idiots that spend their time and money doing it the right way?
What is a “road map to citizenship?” What does it mean when politicians talk of a rapid process when these people have no documentation, changing aliases, no SSN, change where they live, often shack up with others....... Even many of those that were involved in criminal activity here will slip right under the radar and be given citizenship. In the end our government will grant millions amnesty and disguise this act with terms like “road maps” or whatever else.
Like a firm that dumps toxins into a river costing millions in cleanup but saving in the disposal costs and padding their bottom line, the illegal is for large firms a low cost way to do business that rolls the true cost on the tax payer. When these people get sick and are in the emergency room, on the roads, in a prison or have their kids in a school we end up paying for it while firms like Pilgrims Pride walk away counting their cash.
When politicians speak about illegal immigrants they are speaking from both sides of their mouth.
