Illegal immigrants are a drain on resources
At the risk of sounding like a racist bigot, I feel that I have
to express my opinion concerning the displays May 1 concerning the
plight of "illegal immigrants."
They are not "undocumented workers," as the liberal press and
media would portray them. The are here illegally. That is a slap in
the face to all of the immigrants who have come here and completed
the necessary requirements to become legal citizens. It is
interesting to note that they picked May 1 as the day of protest. I
believe that has been historically a day of celebration in
communist countries.
When our ancestors came here as immigrants, they did not come
with their hands out expecting to be given all kinds of welfare.
The help they wanted came as a result of their hard work and
sacrifice. They did not have access to free medical care, free
education, welfare payments, etc.
I recognize that the "illegals" contribute to our economy, but
they are also a big drain on our resources. I have read that the
drain is measured in the billions of dollars. They are supported by
our politicians who are looking for future votes. All they care
about is getting elected.
To protest the May 1 protest, I finally decided to buy a new car
and take my wife shopping. After going to several stores that were
open for business, we did our part to support the businesses that
were open on that day. I do not intend to support businesses that
were closed on that day for at least another 90 days. Those include
Rancho San Miguel and its parent company Food 4 Less, along with
other businesses or restaurants that decided to honor the
"illegals." I hope that many others who agree with me will do the
same.
I received an e-mail quoting Rush Limbaugh on immigration laws
in Mexico. I will be glad to forward it to anyone who wants it.

Illegals could care less about America's Laws! There are no obstacles Gutierrez, who had just arrived in Juarez from Torreon to look for a way to cross illegally into the United States, said he didnt believe the troops would make a difference.

Skilos, look at all of us. We are fighting each other. What you just quoted said it all. They have not fired one shot, yet we are all fighting instead of uniting. Do we all agree that we want everyone here the right, correct way "LEGAL"

Deporting illegal aliens doesn't do any good because they're back the next day. Once arrested in the USA they should be kept here. Beneath Yucca Mountain with the other hazardous waste would be the best place to keep them.

Leonard, your liberalism screams out so loud it hurts my ears. No wonder Air America is shutting down. I think you, Al Franken, and Michael Moore should join forces proclaiming each other's insanity.
