You claim they are good people, yet law enforcement can tell you they are not. The illegals don't make enough from the cash work and often resort to criminal activity to make up the difference. That activity includes burglary, robbery, drug dealing, rape, auto theft and battery. It happens every day. The Calfornia prison population is 25% illegal aliens. Oh, I left out murder too. All those extra beneficial behaviors to keep our law enforcement folks fully employed, our courts full and our prisons filling. Just so you can have some cheap produce at the market. There should be a huge tax put on that "cheap" produce to pay for the impacts of illegal aliens on public infrastructure.

They have come here to try to improve their lives. Same way we did.

No, they didn't come here the same way we did. They crossed the border illegally and obtained employment illegally. My ancestors arrived from the UK on the Mayflower and also at the establishment of Jamestown. My paternal great grandfather emigrated from Wales in 1863 and arrived via Ellis Island.

I have many friends from Wales that are now U.S. citizens. They had to wait in a lottery process from 3 to 7 years before being permitted to emigrate to the U.S. They were required to have a financially stable U.S. citizen sponsor them and assist them through the naturalization process. The illegal Mexican don't follow the process. They jump the border, obtain illegal employment and often arrange access to our welfare systems by creating an "instant citizen" care of the 14th amendment.

Wednesday: Illegal aliens and Medicaid

They broke the law to bust through America’s borders. So why are some illegal aliens now eligible for Medicaid? Scarborough Country. Tonight at 10 on MSNBC.

I just want to thank you you for your very thoughtful reply to my post. We may not agree on everything, but that is okay. At least you think. I try to think also. I don't always get it, but I try to.
