Re: Immigration Protests in USA

Rich,
It is very easy to make statements when using a
"simple mind", such as, "Illegals are stealing from
the USA!" Funny few people mention the tens of
billions of dollars the "illegals" contribute every
year in taxes and Social Security - of which they will
not get this back! Rick, your social security is being
supported by these illegals you despise. However,
having gone through and still going through the
immigration process with my wife - I see first hand
how the system (the US congress)is broken and in fact
over the years has supported illegal immigration. Now
the Republican Representative side of congress whats
to make it an election issue. Well if it takes over a
year for one woman to get a visa to immigrate to the
USA and we have somewhere between 11 and 14 million
"illegals" I will let you do the math when you state,
"Then they can re-apply for citizenship to this
country and we, as US citizens applaud that action and
support it with our laws... and our lives." And if you
look at how many "semi" illegal aliens have fought and
died in Iraq, you might not be so quick to make death
an issue. By the way I hear that when a none citizen
soldier dies, the USA gives them citizenship!
