““Is something wrong with Free Republic again. I can’t get it to fully load.””

Yes, Read JimRob’s post! He would like everyone to have a 20 item per page limit to help with the problem.

That wasn’t me asking the question, but I always have myself locked down to 20, per.

Also - Everyone needs to clean out their mailbox, STAT!

Why don’t they take a naturalization class and become legal citizens? Beats me??

Such an easy solution.

This can't be true, all the sweet, undocumented, angels are hard at work, doing the jobs that no one wants, paying taxes, and always, supporting the economy.

They came here to work, after all...

3 Alabama counties saw 85% drop in food stamp participation ‘after work requirements restarted’...another thing to factor in.....

Nationwide, there are about 44 million people receiving SNAP benefits at a cost of about $71 billion.
The Trump administration has vowed to cut the food stamp rolls over the next decade, including ensuring that ‘able-bodied adults’ recipients are working.

Squawking that this means less food on the table, fewer meals in houses where the kids have rights because they are U.S. citizens”....

Well when raising my kids if we wanted more of anything we simply worked longer or added additional jobs to make it work for us.....they can do likewise...and that includes for food.

I like what this guys stated in the article....

Mark Krikorian, a well-known advocate for reducing immigration to the U.S., said their situation reflects the fact that many people who come to the country lack the skills to earn enough money here..... “It is an attempted moral blackmail to say ‘If you Americans don’t give me your money, I can’t stay here and feed my children,’” he said.... “Well, it’s your choice. No one made you sneak into the United States.

Call me crazy, but aren't food stamps - I dunno - supposed to be for LEGAL immigrants?

I dunno either, but no immigrant, legal or illegal should be eligible for food stamps-support themselves or go home.

Mexico won’t let you immigrant unless you have a job and can support yourself....why then should we even begin to think it’s up to us to feed their people coming here illegally...or legally for that matter...

We could probably feed and house every homeless person on the streets if the illegals weren’t zapping our welfare system...I say take care of our own .first and only!

The workaround is to have an anchor baby.

Here's what the rules should be: Illegals must return to their homes. Period. If they have children born here it's the option of the illegals to take their children with them or leave them here. We won't kidnap these children and we will take care of them if the illegals choose to leave them behind. But either way, the illegals must go home.

What I would really like to see is a crackdown on illegally registered voters, both legal and illegal aliens. Give them 180 days to cancel their voter registration or immediate deportation and five years before you can apply for reentry, on top of any other reentry bans.

Last time i checked, Mexico had plenty of food.

I'm thinking they have a surplus. A lot of the produce in my local grocery store has little stickers that sat "Product of Mexico".

If she is so poor, how come she has the money to have her eyebrows done? That is not cheap from what I understand...

Damn, that means they’ll have to spend some of the earnings that they normally send HOME to Mexico.

Welfare fraud.
