Stop it you're breaking my heart. The reason we can't accept the worlds masses is that we can't afford to provide them all the lifestyle and benefits and welfare we enjoy. Already a great number of workers here don't have insurance yet we are supposed to provide care for anyone that gets off the boat or wades across some river?
I work hard for my money and resent some govt. lackey taking it away to give to some slacker who didn't work for it. And I am very tired of hearing "but what about the children"? If you can't afford them don't have them. Your kids are your responsibility, not mine.

Ok, I have a question for all the illegal immigrant supporters on FR. Why, if these 'new immigrants' are such a plus to the country, is every region inundated with them going bankrupt & raising taxes through the roof? If they're such a net plus, wouldn't these areas be experiencing unprecedented success? If they're so socially conservative, why is it they don't seem to have a problem with stealing someone elses hard earned dollars in the form of services they don't pay for?...(previous socially conservative immigrants made it w/o handouts stolen from the current occupants...Italians, Irish, Polish, Germans...list goes on...)

Many Americans take a job based on the benefits offered besides pay. That's getting harder to do because of massive immigration with immigrants very willing to take less money and no health insurance benefits because the fully expect the taxpayers to provide that for them.

The immigrants have a choice to decline jobs that don't offer benefits, they don't want to suffer one iota for their poor choices.
