While I agree with you that anyone that has paid, should be entitled, I think you could be wrong about who all will be entitled.

Previous articles have stated that even those that used fake SS numbers would be entitled, if they could prove it.

There is much speculation on this issue with everything in the media based on an "intercepted internal memo"(leak).

I agree completely that the potential for fraud will be substantial. I think it's a fair and appropriate course if there is also some serious verification of the recipients. My point was that many folks are crying wolf by strongly implying that every illegal that ever crossed the river would get a payment every month.

I work in Edinburg, Texas...about 15 miles north of the border...and due to the fact that we are woefully short of qualified U.S. citizens with tech skills, we hire many Mexicans to fill those jobs. These are good people that do pay their taxes here and shouldn't be ripped off because we have a serious illegal immigration problem.

I'm with O'Reilly on this...Put the military on the border. Just don't shoot us in the "workforce foot" at the same time...I'd love to have American citizens in those jobs, but until the education community in this country cleans up its act, that's just not gonna happen...:-)

Anyone who has paid and isn't a citizen, should be given their money back. Come to think of it, I want my money back.
