She was also one of several people who protested the government's recent immigration proposal by not working Monday, but still utilized government assistance that day. Monday afternoon Hurtado brought her 6-year-old daughter to get some cavities filled at Clinic Ol, a non-profit health clinic partially funded partially with government dollars.
Miguel Flores, a 35-year-old landscaper who boycotted work also brought his young daughter in for a teeth cleaning.
"We pay taxes for all these services," said Flores. "And how many Americans are there who don't work or who are homeless? I know they're in their own country. But I'm paying for their services too."
Susana de La Cruz, who works cleaning Clinic Ol, came to the clinic Monday after her 1-year-old cut his thumb. Along with her husband, who works in the fields, de La Cruz took the day off.
While the 22-year-old woman participated in the day of protest, she said she is deserving of government-provided services.
"We also pay taxes, and we have to take advantage," she said.
These people gag me, entitlement, entitlement.
Yup...I could throw-up.
How about we withhold ALL of their wages, fine the employers, and use that money to deport them all?
That would axe the lame argument that "it would be too expensive" to deport them. And as far as personnel to help?
I'm willing to bet there will be millions of Americans and LEGAL citizens who would help...for free.
I couldn't help wondering: What's with a six year old having multiple cavities?
Name of the game in mexico. socialism/communists. That why you see it so much representation of the communists in the demonstations. Mobs in the street is the norm down there. Nothing but an insurection as far as I am concerned.
