This is not a simple issue. I know a young girl brought here legally from Europe by her mother (both had visitors visas). The mother was fleeing from an abusive husband who threatened to kill them both. The mother died unexpectedly and the young girl, afraid to go back home, was passed from home to home by concerned friends. After 7 such moves and graduating from
high school with straight A's (with English as a second language, by the way) she is basically trapped here. Another family took her in and has paid full, out-of-state tuition (triple instate), all medical and dental bills, etc. She has not taken one penny away from taxpayers and has not done anything illegal. She is straight A's through two years of community college. She has no family back in her home country. If she leaves, she can no longer return for a minimum of 10 years. She is praying the Dream Act will end this long, sad journey.— Marsy
I love these people that like to make comparisons of 3 or 4 hundred years ago.
If you would read world history you would see that conquest was usually done by a superior group to an inferior group, not nice but a fact of life. Today we have moved beyond forced conquest and have reversed this order to have the inferior over run the superior. If you take issue with these mean words ,tell us what Mexico ,or any Latin American country, has contributed to science ,medicine or the improvement of mankind in last 200 years.— bobp2v
I couldnt agree with you more. I waited two years to come to this country LEGALLY and have worked ever since getting a permamnt resident alien card and then becoming a citizen. I have never been arrested and have never collected welfare or unemployment. You do not have a right to just walk into the U.SA. and freeload off the school system, the health system, the econmomy. Get to the back of the line andd do it riught or dont do it at all. That is what this country is all about. We have lost our backbone and become soft not only here but throughout the world. The good citizens of this country who have died for it would roll in their graves if they saw what a garbage can this county has become. If you dont like it leave. I dont remember getting an invitation in the mail to come here. I had to earn it and I dont see people leaving to go anywhere else. Obey the rules or dont play the game!!!!!
What part of ILLEGAL don't you understand? It is breaking the law! Just because Your Democratic government can not pay their taxes and get away with it with just a fine... does not mean that it is right. If you have such a problem with the free market, JUST LEAVE the United States!!! You don't have to be here... Unless you like it here, which would mean that you enjoy your freedoms. Freedoms that the current President is so quickly taking away. A President "asking" the CEO of GM to step down??? That is MOB-like. But the only difference is that the MOB only takes 10% of what you earn. Don't feel bad for someone who knew that they were coming to the U.S. illegally to screw over our country. If you love them so much, why don't you offer your job to Mr. Rodriguez???? Try that for investing in your community!!! Now you may go Worship Obama, you pathetic sheeple!
