That sounds more like a state issue to me. Granted, the borders are a huge problem, and I do not agree with Bush on his border policy. But, he hasn't given amnesty to anyone, and I don't think it will happen. As for medical facilities turning away anyone, by law, they can't.

I am truly sorry for what you are going through. There are similar things going on where I live, but certainly not as bad as where you live. What are you doing to fight the good fight? Have you let your governor know? Congressmen? President? I know sometimes it can seem futile to even try to fight, but if we don't fight for what we believe in, our country might as well fold up and die right now.

I went though a very nasty event five years ago on July 4th weekend that had to do with illegals to some degree. And the fact that many of my friends said I should move pissed me off. Why? Because *I* didn't do anything wrong. I stayed put and told everyone else to piss off. So fight the good fight. I hope things do get better.

I have written e-mails and sent letters snail mail to everyone who is even remotely connected with the immigration problem, but until the leader of our country decides that enough is enough, nothing will be done.

Hospitals DO turn away people.
It's simply a matter of not enough bed space.
Somehow the pregnant illegals always manage to get in.

It's not just the illegals who are living here in the US.
We're supporting families who don't even live here!
They have relatives who shop for groceries here with the Lone Star card and take those same groceries back across the border.
We're feeding a large portion of the whole border of Mexico!

And don't ever think that these welfare cards are exempt from the fraud of cash payments.
I have personally witnessed extra groceries being rung up and cash handed back to spend on beer or whatever.

Forget Amnesty a moment, I'm interested in your opinion on this...

Will there be fewer, or more Illegals in the US when Bush leaves office, than there were when he was first sworn in?

If the answer is "more," will Bush have done a good job on this issue?

Well, he most certainly does not "encourage" illegals to cross over to take jobs away from U.S. citizens, as was stated in #70.
