    When the immigrants from South East Asia came after the Vietnam war the Catholic church was supposed to help support them. Then they dropped them like a hot rock after they got here and social services became free for them.

    How long would an illegal American last in Mexico? Could we get social services? A drivers license? If a citizen from the US wanted to live in Mexico, what are the requirements? You don't just cross their border and live there happily ever after!

    This article is very one-sided showing two whites in favor of immigration reform and one other which doesn't have a clue about what he's talking about, which makes him look ignorant. Andrew Adams needs to learn a little about journalism in newspapers.

    I just think the whole thing is wrong. If you want to become a citizen, do it the correct way. The way so many others have done it. Ship them home and let them come back legally. And no welfare! And SPEAK ONLY ENGLISH!
