I only wish.. but sadly, we've been abandoned. That is why I'm writing in Tancredo.. they apparently could care less what Americans think on this, much less conservatives. We are now pariahs.

Many posters don't want to count the dollars that illegal aliens cost the states. In California alone illegal immigration costs BILLIONS each year. They're all heavy users of social services, medical care, schools, they get everything free. We end up with a state that is going bankrupt.

It is against California law to question citizenship before handing out the goodies, so what is to stop millions more third worlders to come and use up even more of our tax dollars? How is this magically going to change under Bush's proposal? It isn't - it will only get worse. He has no intention of closing the borders. Is Bush going to send the bills to Vicente Fox? Of course he won't. We will continue to pay in larger numbers while we watch our communities turn into Mexico. It has already begun in many areas here, and it ain't pretty.
