We, all Americans are the suckers for believing our leaders are leading us to freedoms.

"Is that the point being made in this article?"

No...the point is that our RINO governor loves illegals almost as much as our president. Add two worthless, socialist RAT senators and a political system clogged by Clinton democRATs...well, you figure out what we're dealing with here. The southern 2/3 of the state is a political wasteland.

"States with large immigrant populations tend to be the most prosperous."

Yea, California is doing just swimmingly.

Get a grip.

"As more and more people learn about this free medical care, 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."

Therein lies the problem Einstein. Replace "people" with illegals and maybe you'll get a glimpse of reality.

The California economy is booming. The legislature is fighting over what to do with the increased revenues.

And by the way, in case you haven't heard, crime is the lowest in 35 years and the prison population is declining.

“The immigration system in the U.S. is not working, and it is causing troubles for immigrants and to society,” he said."

“The immigration system in the U.S. is not working, and it is causing troubles for immigrants illegals and who are causing trouble to for American society,”

"The California economy is booming. The legislature is fighting over what to do with the increased revenues."

In case you havn't noticed, California is in the red. They're just about bankrupt and their bond rating is a tickle above "junk" rating.

The legislature might want to consider paying down the public debt

Texas has already been conquered by Hispanics. I wonder if the citizens of the great state of Texas are aware of that?

That's Tejas to you, white boy.

"....the prison population is declining."

Of course... California leads the country in "sanctuary cities"... if ya turn a blind eye to crime there will be less arrests.

Simple logic.

[Nea Wood]

Great tagline.

Of course, bayourod; that's why practically every job ad I see in the paper requires applicants to be bilingual in Spanish.

I presume you have numbers and sources to support your point, so share them if you would.

Under law, people who are undocumented can only receive WIC [women, infants, and children] benefits — and that’s only because a child will be citizen when it’s born — and emergency care.

The key words: "under law". Who says illegal aliens follow the law?

False documents are for sale everywhere, and they're used to collect every benefit possible, and illegal aliens use emergency rooms like we use doctor's offices, but they don't have to pay the bills like we do. The strain on states' resources has become too heavy to carry.

The bills should be sent to Vicente Fox to pay, since our president won't do anything to stop illegal immigration, and the majority of border hoppers are from Mexico.

Source please.

[bayourod]

I've given the source a number of times in the last couple days. and there have been threads on it. Do a Google search for crime rates. For California try CalFacts.

I think most are becoming aware.

Texas has been conquered by Hispanics

Rev. Julio, don't be counting your chickens yet.

I'll admit that we are in the midst of some tough battles and illegal invaders are holding some territory, but conquered? Not by a long shot.

And don't go assuming that just because a person has a Hispanic surname that he will be fighting on your side. Remember a guy named Juan Seguín?

A lot of us think your victory celebration is a bit premature.

[bayourod]

"Texas has been conquered by Hispanics"

Yes, they're called Texans.

And every single state office holder is Republican because our God Family, Country, Liberty and Work values are the same as the Hispanics' and we haven't needlessly insulted them with gratuitous attacks on their culture.

Texas is doing very well because of Hispanic Texans.

This one will make you want to go out and dance . .

(Did you know that illegal aliens feel the same way about your government as you do?)

==========================================

Border state (it used to be Texas, but they have been defeated)

“Latinos in general are very leery of government and government institutions,” said Cesar Compadre, a professor at the UAMS colleges of pharmacy and public health. “You learn to mistrust government when you live in Latin America, and when you come here, you have the same feeling.”

In response, Compadre founded La Casa, a non-profit organization that, in Compadre’s words, “serves as a bridge between Latinos and Arkansas institutions that want to interact with Latinos.” It helps Latinos with everything from simple orientation services, such as getting their electricity connected, to more complicated situations, such as how to obtain a kidney transplant.

Crime statistics decline when you allow criminals to commit crimes and don't apprehend them.
