Aztlan Ping!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico ping list.

Thank you for paying our medical bills. That was very nice of you, Sir. Yes, you are a sucker.
I was driving in Dallas a few years ago, and saw a pristine '55 Chevy 2-door hardtop. I saw the sign that said, "12 mil" and realized that here I was in the USA, reading a for sale sign that announced the price of $12,000 in Spanish.
We're witnessing the foreignization of this country, and I don't know where this is going to end, but if future presidents don't pay any more attention to this than Bush has, we're in for some serious trouble. And this wacky little LULAC state chaplain may be correct.
These people are helping us to build our society. Under the immigration laws we have, these people are suffering. We have to help them become good American citizens.”
Sorry, but our society is ALREADY built and we like it the way it is.
Isn't it nice that they feel 'tranquilo' here. Is there anything else we can do for them? Health care? Education kindergarten through college? Good jobs? Well, if Hill gets in, she'll mandate all sorts of cradle to grave benefits we'll pay for by whatever she takes away from us. MiniMexico, here we come.
Besides the police are understaffed in small towns.
They're going to need more than the states you mentioned. They'll need the entire US and probably most of Canada. Everybody south of the Rio Grande is headed north or soon will be.
Tell that to the Minuteman chapter that just went up there.
Take away all the "cowboys" and see what your new state has to offer, amigo! I bet you won't.
BTTT
As more and more people learn about this free medical car, the only way the ERs will have to limit exposure is to keep their staffs low and make people wait longer and longer for their freebies.
Imagine how long it would take you to get a pizza delivered if the government required all pizzerias to deliver pizza regardless of the customers ability to pay.
Do you think you had more test performed because you did have insurance? That often the case.
" A new study from the Center for Immigration Studies is one of the first to estimate the impact of illegal immigration on the federal budget. Based on Census Bureau data, the study estimates that households headed by illegal aliens used $10 billion more in government services than they paid in taxes in 2002. These figures are only for the federal government; costs at the state and local level are also likely to be significant. The study also finds that if illegals were given amnesty, the fiscal deficit at the federal level would grow to nearly $29 billion."
"Among the findings:"
That's no lie. That CNN Immigration special a while back had shown a small mexican town devoid of men. All, along with a good portion of the women, had gone to the US.
The upper ten percent of taxpayers pay the majority of taxes.
But that doesn't make the other 90% of us deadbeats. We contribute to the economy that allows the rich 10% to be rich.
States with large immigrant populations tend to be the most prosperous.
But, the new AG said he is sending out tasks forces to those places, to deal with the corruption.
The police in small towns tend to know who are the good people and who are the bad ones. Arkansas passed a law permitting local law enforcement offices to enforce immigration laws.
Sounds like a good compromise to me. Bust the bad people, don't waste time and resources on the good ones. If the locals don't object I certainly won't
What statement about the law did she make that you feel is incorrect? Remember there is a lot of difference between the laws of California and the laws of Arkansas.
#32, #36
Dang bayourod, are we finally getting through to you?? Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, make him go back to his own country, and you feed him and his family for a lifetime.
My message to illegals, stay in your own country, if you want your country to be like the US of A, make it so.
Somewhere in our past, a group of people figured out how to make a prosperous, fruitful and moral country. Follow the example.
"Corruption"? Do you have a source for that? The statements that I saw said the task forces would be dealing with criminal gangs.
Don't you think that members of a ping list are embarrassed by misstatements of fact made by others on the group?
The border region of Texas has been majority Latino for most of the past century. Of course, your typical Californicator would never know that. ;-)
