"What is it that is included in Castaneda's list of demands? Basically, he wants a complete surrender of U.S. sovereignty over immigration policy.
America must legalize all Mexican illegal aliens, loosen its already lax border enforcement, establish a guest worker program in the midst of an economic downturn, and exempt Mexican immigrants from U.S. visa quotas.
Not only that, but also the demand that Mexicans living in the U.S. receive health care provided by the American taxpayer and in-state college tuition.
Speaking in Tijuana, Castaneda became even more bold; he aptly described such demands with this statement: "We must obtain the greatest number of rights for the greatest number of Mexicans in the shortest time possible."
Mind you, Castaneda is referring to rights for Mexicans in the U.S. – NOT in Mexico!
Hmmmph. More "demands." Who's going to provide ME with health care? My employer does not, and I can't afford to take out a policy on my own. So I just do without.
Besides, don't illegals already have health care? A few weeks ago, Terry Anderson on his radio program was talking about how the cost of his mother's medication, which she needs to stay alive, had been raised to $800 a month, an amount neither Terry nor his mother can afford. Near tears, Terry asked the nurse what would happen if his mother was an illegal alien. "Oh, illegals are on a different plan," the nurse told him. "This medication would be free for them!" I've seen the photo of Terry on his web site. He appears to be middle-aged. So his mama must be at least in her 70s. Yet an illegal alien who jumped the border yesterday has better benefits than she does.
Did anyone see 60 MINUTES tonight, about the ineptness of the INS? It's really an outrage. Especially that serial murderer who was caught crossing the Mexican border SEVEN TIMES and was set free on his merry way every time.
I thought there'd be changes after 9/11. I guess not. The world has gone insane.
Just who the h**l do these people think they are??? Who are they to be DEMANDING of US. Next thing you know we'll have another entire race of people who are DEMANDING reparations!! I guess by that kind of reckoning I could bust in your house and demand that you provide me with shelter, food and medical care and education should I want it, and furthurmore, I could demand restitution for all the aggravation of taking what I think is rightfully mine because at one time my parents might have lived in the neighborhood and some greedy developer offered them a price they couldn't refuse for their home and obviously that is YOUR fault!
I just can't believe that Bush and all these congresspeople think this is a good idea!!! Something is seriously wrong with this picture!
