I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of my hard earned tax money going to take care of all these illegals. They believe that the “Land of the Free” means they don’t pay. Enough is enough. Obama seems to forget that the American Tax Payers paid for these illegal’s children’s education.

Gracie:

I live in Texas. They are saying that half the state population is now Mexican – and most are on welfare as well as working. That’s why they can afford to take lower pay – the taxpayers pay for their living expenses while they work to sock away money in a border bank so they can retire in less than ten years.

45caliber, it is really a shame that our Goverment has let us down. I live in Nevada and Harry Reid goes to casinos to get bus loads of illegals to take to the polls to vote on issues that should only be voted on by people who are here legally. Illegals should not be allowed to vote, but they are. Obama is trying to get the hispanic vote and he will be re-elected if America doesn’t put a stop to all the illegals. I commend Florida for trying to stop illegalls from voting in their state.

Rick, it’s fruitless to talk rule of law to a leftist feminazi and probably paid shill to boot.

The employers wouldn’t hire them if the government would keep them out of the country.

PAMzipcode,
It’s only a matter of growing frustration, an irritation to no end, not hate!! Obviously you have had no personal experience as VNV67-68 has. Once you have had to deal with it on the business side of life, then and only then will you perhaps understand why this frustration and deeply embedded irritation is truly growing more and more and more. Everything has a limit and with this, Obummers new vote seeking policy, yes, that limit has been reached.

Sirian,

No personal experience? I am a construction project manager here in Florida and we cannot find enough people to fill our positions. I do have personal experience and I believe that Farmers in Arizona have put there open positions in the newspapers and no one has come but the illegal immigrants to fill them. Besides that this spew of hate I was commenting on. Is just that illegals are to blame for everything. Really? Closing hospitals? I thought was because more and more Americans don’t have healthcare and the emergency room is the place of last resort Killing 5000 Americans a year? That’s over 15 a day but of course the news media must cover less that 1% of them. They are unproductive useless people. Wow, guess because I work beside them everyday I see it differently. FYI white Catholic girl rsed in Minnesota!!!

Part of the reason for the hospital closures is because the hospitals can’t turn away illegals even though they have no insurance. It doesn’t take long for a hospital to start running in the red, when you’re in an area with a large illegal population. The thought that the right are a bunch of close-minded hate mongers is totally bogus. The truth is, that the right-leaning public has a firm grasp on reality. You can’t constantly take from the have’s and give to the have-nots, eventually you’ve just depleted your tax-paying base. In the old days, you didn’t have the enablers giving B.S. excuses as to why you don’t have a house with a white picket fence and a new Studebaker sitting in the driveway. If you jumped in a time machine and went back 50 years ago, you’d notice that people had work ethic, if they wanted something, they got it from the sweat of their brow, not by standing with their hand out waiting for someone to give it to them. And as far as the comment about the jobs being there without people to fill them, that has a lot to do with the left wing nutjobs that don’t expect people to work for a living. Why would you take a job where you actually have to drag your carcass out of bed each morning and put forth an effort, when the left is always promising people the American dream without the hassle of working for it. I’ve been in numerous plants in the predominately hispanic southwest, where 10 years ago, they had jobs that were filled with Americans, but the companies realized at some point, that they could fill those positions with illegals for 1/10th the cost. Instead of enforcing the law to protect jobs, they’ve allowed hundreds of thousands of workers to have their collective heads placed on the chopping block and let this happen. We need to get back to the days of “Rosie the riveter”. If you want all of the creature comforts of life, get out and earn it. If you go through life without, it’s because you are a lazy slug that hasn’t earned what the neighbor next door has. Stop crying, put your work boots on and create a better life for yourself.

Are you serious you believe that Hospitals went out of business because of all the illegals. Don’t you think that it could be because 25% of Americans have no health insurance and so many more are under-insured. When do you think that everybody is asking for a handout? Work ethic, really??? Sorry I didn’t reply to this sooner as I had to drive home from my JOB! Health care is a hand out that is why every industrialized Nation in the World has universal heathcare besides the US even Israel. Which is where ALOT of your so called handouts is going in the last 50 years how about 3 BILLION a year. No one asking for anything besides a people that realize and live in reality where you can’t be in WARTIME have our President on vacation more than he is working while cutting taxes. Sure thing our economy will certainly grow now. Plants in the Southwest huh? Guess that must be due to McCain’s deregulation!!! I as a WOMAN am very happy that I live today and not in the 50′s. When the GI’s came home didn’t “Rosie the Riveter” lose her job? Oh, and it must be all the company’s trying to squeeze more profits for those 1%er’s that are hiring the illegals.

It appears that you have a lot of hatred. Though if you have a JOB as you said, then you should be just as upset as I am, about the benefits that are given to illegals. And so YOU know, not only am I gainfully employed, I’m also a veteran that will spend the rest of his life in constant pain because of the service that I gave to my country. I’m not complaining, but it is what it is, I chose to go fight for my country. Though, the blood, sweat and tears that I spilled for my country, was for those who have helped to build this country into the greatest country in the world, not for those who carry out an illegal act to get here, then are rewarded for the illegal act. What I was saying about the illegals being the reason for the downfall of some of our hospitals, is not entirely because of illegals. But, is it fair that people have lived their entire life in this country, worked for a living, and yet are not eligible for benefits that lawbreakers (those who cross our border illegally). That my friend is a load of bunk, we should be taking care of our own. Let me give you an example. My best friend’s uncle served honorably in Vietnam, but as a result of his service, he has a number of health issues. His immune system is unable to fight off any virus that comes down the pike. Also, he has no use of his lower extremities, as they were blown off by the VC, and what does he receive in return for his service, $480 a month. Meanwhile, there is a family of illegal migrant workers that lives less than 2 miles from him, that receive the bridge card, free child care, their kids get free lunches at school, and they have full healthcare benefits. Maybe it’s just me, but this whole situation just chaps my a$$. In case you didn’t plug in the numbers, my buddies uncle gets $480 a month, plus he is finally eligible for social security benefits, to which they had to fight tooth and nail to get, which brings the total that he receives to $1680 a month. Yet, the illegals are living much better than he is, and the only thing that they did to get it was to carry out an illegal act……hmmm, I’m not sure, but this seems like a very skewed picture to me…….do you disagree?

Well. can say that I do work. I am a Project Manager for a General Contractor here in Florida. I work and work hard along side undocumented workers. Without them at my jobsites I would have no one there. The work is hard during the “shell” grade beams, tying rebar, laying block, roofing, landscaping ect. This is work that we have advertised in the paper for paying $12 an hour to start. Americans come and work a short time. Show late, complain call in sick alot,want to leave early, fake injuries to disability. Alot of problems for these type of back breaking positions Americans seem to have. Not a high paying job but certainly more than minimum wage. We know that the Social Security numbers and ID’s that these undocumented workers provide are not correct. We take taxes out of there wages for social security and medicaid. I know that they will never collect these benefits. In fact they pay $7 billion a year into the Social Security and Medicaid taxes. Their children go to our schools and yes they receive free lunch there, do you really want uneducated starving children in our country? . My problem is that I do not believe that we are overburdened with them being on any welfare programs, only if one of the children was born here can they get any type of assistance. I personally know these families. It is obvious when the youngest child has Medical from the State but the older child does not that they are illegally here. What kills me is that a child being raised here going to US schools coming so young to this country that they do not remember where they were born will never have a true future here. They see that the younger sibling gets to be a have while they will always be a have not. They will be denied the dream of ever even having something so simple as a Driver’s License. I could see if they were taken our higher paying jobs but they are not they are taking the work of unskilled workers. Please let me be another person to thank you for the service you gave to our country and your friend but don’t blame illegals for the way that our Government takes care of their Vets. We are not making the parents that brought them here legal they chose to live a life in the shadows but they also unfortunately made that choice for an innocent child. That child could be the next Henry Kissinger – immigrant or Madeline Albright who was also an immigrant. How do you know that the family living 2 miles from your friend are illegals? Is it because they have brown skin and speak spanish they must be illegal receiving welfare benefits?

I hear the phrase all the time, “illegals are only taking jobs no one else will take”, I don’t believe that for one minute. I know there are many people out of work that would be glad to take some of those jobs that the illegals have. I have lived in The United States of America all my life. This is the only Country I know and English is the only language I know. Why is it so important not to hurt a illegal’s feelings because this is the only Country they know. I am a legal American Tax Payer and it is wrong to treat criminals special. My insurance premiums are $500.00 a month because of all the illegals getting free medical care while my benefits are being cut. Why can’t our Government treat legal tax paying Americans as well and special as they treat illegals? Mexicans in my state are living a lot better than I live. Maybe that is because I pay my bills and don’t freeload off the tax payers.

Gracie, Oh please give me a break. I am too an US Citizen born in Minnesota, my Parents were legal my Grandparents legal as well. I am just saying what do you do for a living? Is is a job that an illegal worker will be taking from you anytime soon? So your Nephew Joey that dropped out of High School will have to complete with these workers, maybe Joey should have at least finished High School. I am annoyed that you believe that they are raising your Health Insurance rates. Couldn’t be that Health Insurance company’s are at this time making record profits?? Nope it’s those darn illegals that go to the hospital when they are seriously injured or sick. I am just saying I am thankful that when Ellis Island allowed everyone that came here entry. Hard earned tax money going to Illegals huh?? There have been some isolated cases of issues but please drink the Tea Party brew much better than the Kool-Aid. I also have a question for you. What do you call a person that speaks 3 languages? Trilingual A person that speaks 2 languages? Bilingual A person that speaks 1 language AMERICAN…….. Was a foreign language not a requirement for you people in High School or did you just take it because you had too.
Gracie,
WHY DO YOU FEEL SO THREATENED BY THESE CHILDREN????

Where have you been? Obama just cut Medicare benefits by ten billion dollars. Maybe you can speak many languages, that doesn’t make you smart. I didn’t take a foreign language in high school because I had to quit school because I was living in poverty and my parents couldn’t afford to send me there. After going to work at 16 years old I got my GED. I know all about being poor, but my parents did not live off the tax payers. They worked for a living. It’s just it was hard to raise 11 children. They were legal Americans as were my Grandparents and their parents before them. This country is broken and it is because of all the illegals that are living here. These children that were brought here by their parents are now old enough to vote. Why feel sorry for them now? You need to get educated.

Gracie, Please know that they are cutting Medicare benefits so much that only illegals can get them? What are you saying? I realize that you are certainly undereducated that seems to be why you believe all the crazy rants of Steve King. Seems you parents could afford birth control or is it that they didn’t believe in birth control. Was it not the President that you show such distaste for also born into poverty? Was he not raised by a single mother? Did his Mother also have issues with getting the proper medical treatment. I would be worried about my job being sent overseas by Romney than I would by having an illegal take it from me. Compassion, love and understanding they are children. I’m not worried about hurting their feelings I am worried about them not having a chance in life. Can you imagine growing up with no hope for a better future?

Cuts had to be made to Medicare because Obama had to find a way to pay for the illegals who seek medical care and then say they can’t afford to pay. Is it right that a illegal woman waits until her 9th month of pregnancy and then illegally crosses the border to the USA to have her baby so her baby will be born an American and get benefits paid by the tax payers. It sounds to me that you are not telling the truth. Are you on welfare, foodstamps, section 8 housing, etc. You don’t sound to me like you are paying your fair share of taxes. If you are paying your fair share of taxes why do you want your tax money going to people other than United States legal citizens? I don’t understand where you are coming from. Figure out the Children’s ages now. You are the dumb one.

It is my point to say the reason why you can’t get good workers for $12.00/hr is because we have people with a lack of work ethic. Our government has made it too easy to sit back and collect a check, instead of getting off their rear and putting in an honest day’s work. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate immigrants, my great grandparents on both sides were immigrants. But, when my great grandparents came over from Ireland and Germany, they didn’t expect anybody to cater to them. If you want to come here, take the legal route, after all, if it was good enough for our forefathers to make their way to this country, (via Ellis Island), then why should we expect less from the latino, hispanic community. Do a little research about the amount of illegals that are doing time in american prisons. The last figure that I saw, (which is probably a conservative figure by now), is that it costs $42,000 a year to keep a person incarcerated in prison. If you take that figure and multiply it by the number of illegals that are in our prisons, it becomes a VERY large figure. All I’m saying is that if people want to come to this country with the vision of making a better life for themselves, then take the legal route. After all, this country is a country of immigrants, a giant melting pot of different cultures. When my ancestors came over on the boat, they embraced everything about America, and learned the language and customs of the region they lived in, they didn’t expect the country to bend to them, after all, they were the ones that opted to come here. I’m not opposed to people coming to this country, but when we are in the middle of a recession, maybe we need to take care of our own, before we accept any more burden. The other thing is, maybe in Florida they have a hard time getting people to accept jobs that they believe are beneath them, but that isn’t the case everywhere. I live in Michigan, and I know plenty of people that would be glad to have the opportunity to get a job making $12.00/hr, but we don’t even have those jobs. It is my hope that we would have enough jobs for everyone, but that’s simply not the case, so it’s hard to see illegals getting jobs because they are willing to work for $5.00/hr, under the table. If you look deep enough, you can find information about how much illegal aliens cost the american taxpayer every year, it’s mindboggling! If we were to take the money that is spent each year on illegals for assistance (food stamps, child care, healthcare, the prison system, etc…). If you took all of that money and used it toward helping the average (taxpaying) American family you would see a serious influx of cash into the economy. There are a lot of families that have had to tighten their belts for so long, that If you gave them a check, or cut their taxes, they would finally have some disposable income that they could use for the things that they’ve cut out of their budget.

As far as the comment about me not knowing whether the family that lives near my buddy’s uncle are illegals. I know they are, because the father works for a local farmer, that pays them $4.60/hr under the table, so that neither of them get in trouble for their activities.

I agree with you 100%. Over a million immigrates are waiting in line to become American Citizens. Why should people who enter this Country illegally be put in front of them. “NO LINE JUMPING PLEASE”. I don’t understand why they want to lie, cheat, steal,commit crimes, etc. to become an American. That is not the American way. PLeeeeeZ

“Wasn’t it Reagan who began the amnisty [sic] thing?

“Guess it was OK for him to do it because he’s a hero of the right.”

I think you need to clarify your position on this, son. If you are a proponent of amnesty, then you shouldn’t be dissing Reagan.

Moreover, the Act entailed (2) border patrol enforcement and (2) employer sanctions. You want to blame Reagan for the failure of future administrations (including Obama) to enforce the law?

I live in Nevada. Illegals here are being treated special. I went to a department store awhile back and on the P.A. system, a Hispanic was making an announcement in Spanish. No message was given in English. I became very scared because my only language is English. It could have been a message to vacate the buliding because of fire or any other emergency. Why aren’t Hispanics who want to live here forced to speak English? Just wondering if the young Hispanic’s Parents that brought them here illegally are going to be deported, or are the America Tax Payers going to have to support them too?

GRACIE: was an an atack… Beacuse you can’t do anything about it without being Violent! Thay win without a shot!

Tis true, if you want to buy votes, you have to appeal to them. What better way, than to say, if you vote for me, I’ll give you free s#*t. It doesn’t matter to those that are standing at the government trough, it’s not like they had to work for it anyway. The ones that should be pissed off, are the ones that struggle to stay afloat, all the while, the lazy slugs that soak off the system are living better than those of us that work for a living to support these, “entitled ones”.

Gracie, a couple of hers ago we went to the Nebraska State Fair. This was the first year that the fair had been in Grand Island instead of Lincoln. Over the loudspeaker, everything was in Spanish. There was “Spanish?” music being played over the PA. Everywhere we walked we only saw Mexicans until we went into the exhibition hall. It was very strange and uncomfortable. It felt like we had crossed the border into Mexico. Not knowing what people around you are saying is unnerving. If you traveled to a foreign country you would expect that but we didn’t even leave the state. I was amazed at the number of Mexicans(?). I won’t go back to the state fair anymore. It is no longer our state fair. We need to take back our country!!!

Nancy, yes we need to take our Country back. It is so sad. Schools in Texas are teaching our children the Alliance to Mexico. Our hard earned tax dollars are paying for this. What about rights for legal American Citizens?

Maybe the children did no wrong. What about the parents who brought them here. American Tax Payers paid for their children’s education, etc. The parent’s commented a crime and they should have to pay back American tax payers for taking care of them and their children. Where have you been?

eddie says, “It’s about time we stopped punishing people who did no wrong as children and are now productive ambitious young adults.”

One of the distinguishing differences between leftists and Conservatives is that the left has no respect for the rule of law. Get this, eddie et. al., every time a unilateral action is taken by a president, czar, regulatory agency or activist judge that is not IAW the Constitution, the closer we come to a dictatorship.

And understand this: it’s about time we stopped punishing American citizens with taxation to support the costs for illegal immigration. There are hundreds of thousands of “productive ambitious young adults” who are waiting in line to enter this country LEGALLY who have been pushed to the end of the line because of the criminals who cross our borders every day.

When the chief executive selectively enforces federal laws for purely political reasons, that’s basis for impeachment.

6/19/12, This is not only a shrewd move on the part of BO&Co.,it sets bad precedent by opening the floodgates to, not just Latins, but all aliens from wherever they come; something we could do without in this post-9/11 world.

Wow Rob?!?! Where do you make all this stuff up? Why do you hate Christians so much?

Let me guess your a gay Latino now? You change what you are and what you do for a living with each article so its difficult to keep your stories straight?

If you hate ALL these articles so much then why read them? Do you get paid for this?

Take your hate rhetoric some where else.

Nonsense. By giving illegal invaders the reward of a free pass for their kids, you’ve just made it good family policy for more of them to violate our borders.

Self (and national) preservation are rational concerns. Your reference to peoples religion really has no relevance to the issue. However, FYI, the Old testament speaks the sins of the parents being visited on the children “even unto the 10th generation” and the New Testament requires “repentance’ as a prerequisite for forgiveness. Perhaps forgiveness of their invasion gives you closure but allowing home invaders kids a place at our dinner table is unacceptable to many of us.

You better keep looking over your shoulder Bobbie Smith!!!!!!!!!You never know when the BOOGIE Man will catch up with you. Sleep tight Bobbie Smith and don’t let the BEDBUGS bite your worthless ass.

” …but allowing home invaders kids a place at our dinner table is unacceptable to many of us.”

RS isn’t offering them a place at his dinner table only at yours and mine.

Typical Liberal Atheist. Nothing better to do than to bash Christians, because you know, despite centuries of theology, he knows so much more than they do…

Rocky Night says: :: Hate The Christians? People are lead by FAITH.. CHURCH Desire to make heaven on Earth, as in their Arkaic Book (Bible) To Be Ruled By some Son of God 2000 Years ago… The Vatigan the Root!.

The Bible teaches tolerance and acceptance. The Bible also says to accept strangers into your home and welcome them as your own. Tearing down the potential in children does nothing to enhance the betterment of a nation. Somethings do make Christians hypocritical and spiteful and go against decency. This is not a give away but something that has to be earned.

RS says, “It was a small minority of vocal right wing republicans who sank the dream act.”

How so, oh great Constitutional scholar? Last I checked, bills in Congress are passed by majorities. For whatever reason, the president has no authority to flout federal law to suit his own ploitical ends.

Moreover, Obama stated in September 2011 that he has no authority to selectively sidestep portions of the law. Now what, other than crass political motivations, could have changed his mind?
