You're right about the welfare. I'm sure all of us know on an individual basis certain illegals who are benign, who are not a problem --- but we also see the way the low-income housing projects can't be built fast enough and what types are filling them up. I can see an additional guest worker program if Bush would clarify WHO will be providing these people their health care insurance and WHO will be paying for the education of the kids they bring over. Will the employer provide those?
It's a large and growing problem in many states --- the local taxpayer cannot pay for all the health care and the schools are in financial trouble.
Latest figures show that 35% of illegals are on some type of assistance. That's 1 in 3.
They sure are a productive part of society as a whole aren't they?
