2 illegal workers just want jobs

That's just it --- First they really do just want jobs --- nothing more --- they will work for a few dollars to send back home. Next thing though they decide the wife and kids should come over too --- but the few bucks they can make won't support them so then they want free education, free health care, food stamps, government housing assistance too. Next they want the grandparents and all other elderly or ill relatives to come over to be supported by SSDI, food stamps, Medicaid etc. Then siblings, cousins, and all other relatives.

Then they get homesick, want to go back to mexice, and have us just mail the checks there.

That is holocaust material . . .

Here's 54 more sob stories you can add to the total. :-)

Judge Judy to witness for defendent -- "What do you do on April 15 -- tax day?"

Witness (through Spanish interpreter) ---"I don't do taxes."

Something else for Bush to cave in on.

I got a job for them.

They can walk from Tucson to the border and then keep right on walking and never come back.

If we start arresting employers who hire them, the problem would cure itself very quickly.

Your president doesn't want you to live in Mexico, either. If he doesn't want you, why should we?

That's what they need to ask themselves ---- why on earth do they have a president who wants them all to leave? ---- maybe instead they ought to run him out ---- send him packing his bags and headed over to Spain.

[FITZ]

If Cruz and Mendoza, however, are any indication, their priority is not citizenship. They are interested in getting legal work.

Or illegal work. Just leave them illegal --- that's they way they decided to come --- it takes too long the legal way, they have very little problem finding illegal work, they'll send money home or whatever else either way --- legal or illegal. Leaving them illegal is better --- if they get into trouble, or can't find any work, they're easier to deport.

These illegal aliens do not stimulate the economy as some claim....they send the money they earned home.

Excellent points but lets not forget that they drive the overall wage scale down for all of us over time.
