Illegal Immigrants In The United States Demanding Rights

I just found this discussion. You just have no idea of the extent the mooching off taxpayers! Did you know there is such a thing as an Illegal Immigrant Grant? You don't think the illegals are paying for this, do you? When they cross the border, if/when they get caught, they usually demand healthcare.....and get it! I work for one of the border hospitals. There are (as of yesterday anyway) at least $50,000 in healthcare costs that get billed to the government! For illegals' treatments for high blood pressure, pains in the legs, pain the abdomen, etc. NEWS FLASH-----If you weren't sneaking across the border and traveling non-stop, you wouldn't HAVE blisters on the feet and sore legs! Keep your behind AT HOME!!! Sorry. This is just a real sore subject with me. I REFUSE to be bilingual! It's MY country, I shouldn't have to learn another language! So....I don't. I really hope I end up in the HR dept. of some business. If you don't speak the language, No Job For You! Did you know there's a town in Texas that accepts pesos for payment?! Where, exactly, are we gonna draw the line? I have sent the faxes to any elected officials for my state. I also refuse to give ANYONE who doesn't speak the language a break. No help at the store (no, I don't work there, so I don't have to help anyone), no help with directions (you start talking to me in Spanish, I start talking to you in German), any mail that comes in to my work not written in English just gets filed. I can't read it, don't understand it, and I won't put forth extra effort to get it translated. They seem to expect EVERYONE to bend over backwards....I REFUSE! It's funny that the people weeping big old crocodile tears for these people don't see the Other Side Of The Fence. Do you think the Mexican businesses have all their forms/papers done in Spanish and English? Do you really think if we tried to cross into Mexico, they would give us free healthcare? NO!!! They'd shoot us or throw us in jail and forget about us!

Illegals are hardworking people, they have a great contribution to the GDP of America,dont treat them with too much contempt.

That is something I don't understand is coming here and are Illegal and then protest for RIGHTs...I would never think of going to another country and demand rights that I don't have any rights to. I wish Washington DC would wake up and smell the coffee as it is hurting the Americans and the people who come here and are trying to get citizenship. I have never seen anyone from another country come here and demand like those people are doing. They act like we owe them. Come here the right way, don't come over have babies and think since the kids are born here they are legal. They need to send them back so they can come over the right way. Send the Jack Pot babies back with the parents and when they turn 18 they can come back with their birth papers and be legal. It mades me darn mad to see them all marching and demanding for Rights that they don't even have and haven't even earned. We have many who have come from all over the World and never once protested like that. I think it is very very wrong....They all need to go home....

I am a Canadian and the reason i would like to move to the States is the climate and certain laws our government passed, but the Mexicans have a lovely warm climate, do not have to worry that if transporation failed, they would not have enough to feed them. But we cannot cross the border illegally up here, all that swamp land, forest, and in the winter, snow drifts, freezing, etc. so unless one of us is stranding the States by mistake, we have to go the slow route as legal immigrants. However the Mexicans have an easier time. They can sneak across the desert and the wilderness. I have no idea whether their country does not want to improve or their government is lackidasial, but something has to be done/

I'm pretty sure your ancestors did the same thing a few generations back. What makes it different now? Oh, yeah, they are Native Mexicans, the people the land was originally stolen from in the first place, and you aren't! Racism is alive and well and living in the United States!

I get pretty upset at this too. I do have health insurance but we pay for it and it is not good insurance. We pay more than the insurance pays and we have major health problems. They dont even pay taxes and they want the same benefits that we have. You have very legetimate concerns.
