Catering to illegal aliens is like a death wish for the U.S. Fitting that they would go on a hunger strike: almost like a personal death wish. However, they won’t stay on it long. And they will get the media attention they desperately seek.

They are cheaters. They have already cheated by being here illegally. They will cheat on their hunger strike too.

Isn’t this really more like a tantrum-throwing child holding her breath until she turns blue? Who is harmed by this, and who is convinced by this?

Does someone honestly think “protesting” to give college admission and tuition aid to non-taxpayers is somehow evocative of Ghandi?

What spoiled babies. They clearly have too much time on their hands, and aren’t footing the bill for their schooling, they’re living off mommy and daddy.

I remember Jesse Jackson’s “hunger strike”. They asked him if he ate food, he said yes, and something to the effect that the hunger strike was only during certain hours of the day.

I dare them to pull off a Bobby Sands...just dare them.

if they give up beer and sex, I will pay more attention to what they are protesting.”

How about if they give up their iphones, texting, cell phones and lap tops for 60 days.

The medical costs, food cost, housing cost and every other welfare will become available to the family with us taxpayers picking up the tab. Total BS
____________________________________________________________

“A federal law called EMTALA - the Emergency Medical Treatment and
Active Labor Act of 1986 - requires hospitals that receive federal
Medicaid and Medicare funding to accept all emergency patients
regardless of citizenship and ability to pay.”

*snip*

“I’d like to take that information and use it to bill the federal
government,” said Rep. Leo Berman (R-Tyler), who has filed many
bills to try and curtail illegal immigration, “and let them know
that they have hit us with one of the largest unfunded mandates in
the history of our country by requiring that we provide free health
care and free education to illegal aliens.”

*snip*

“Illegal immigration costs Texas nearly $4 billion a year,” said IRCOT spokesperson Rebecca Forest. “That’s about as much as the entire federal reimbursement for our Texas schools.”

*snip*

John Bellinger III, the U.S. legal adviser, said then that the federal government had gone to “extraordinary lengths” to carry out the World Court’s directive and to intercede with the state courts.

Earlier, President Bush issued a directive to the state courts to abide by the decision and also asked Texas specifically to review Medellin’s case ahead of his planned Aug. 5 execution.

However, Texas refused, and in March the U.S. Supreme Court ruled by a 6-3 vote that Bush lacked the authority to compel state courts to comply with the judgment from The Hague.

They'll say they would have were it not for their mothers begging them to eat.

Operation Wetback and General Ike.

Throw these commie bastards out.

Give them a choice: leave on your own two feet or be carried back in a bodybag.

It’s way past time to take our country back.

2 weeks and this problem solves itself.

More like two months (assuming water intake).

"Wishful thinking. These are the pampered do-nothings. They won't go more than a couple hours without sneaking food and drink."

Exactly.
