I for one am very angry. Angry that those of us who have paid into this fund for years are now having to share it with non-American's who don't even have a right to be here. What has happened to us as a people that we continue to allow this type of thing to continue to happen in our government? There comes a time when "political correctness" is personal suicide. We "are the people" that must take a stand and say, "Enough is Enough." I know that everyone's life is crammed full, but we have to look up and see what they are doing while they have us sidetracked making a living. We stay so busy trying to make money that we don't have the time or energy to look at our government and watch what they are doing. They are like teenagers with our credit cards at the mall. We are going to get the bill and wonder where were we...working? What about the credit cards to these people as well? Are we going to sit idly by and be penalized for banks allowing illegals to obtain credit cards? Do people not realize the penalties will be passed to us, the LEGITIMATE people, if these ILLEGALS do not hold up their end of these so-called, "helping hand" gestures? What would make anyone think they WILL hold up their end? Hell, they don't hold up the main principal of being in this country...BECOMING A CITIZEN!!!!!!! This is a perfect example of a financial institution, or the likes, to be dropped as a provider for me. This sickens me to the fullest and whomever supports this does not understand the ramification of following this with support.

I'm with ya Allen. I'm saving for my retirement through several funds, because when I'm 65(40yrs) the money that should be there, the money I/we put in there will be gone. Given to people who shouldn't be here in the first place.

I'm going to rant for a bit here, forgive me. I left for work a few days ago and say that my neighbor at the end of my street had something in his window. Didn't think much of it at first, but after a few days it is still there. What is it in the window you ask? It is a well place peice of paper, with the american flag on it. Why would this bother me you might ask? Well it is placed upside down!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry but this pisses me off!! This guy is of "Mexican" decent, has his own business and seems to be doing well for himself, at the expense of our good nation. Our country might be in distress, possibly which is what that means. However it seems to me to be strategically placed for all to see. The worst part is he has every right to do this!!! But I ask you all one thing. If I were to put a "Nazi" flag or a "Rebel" flag out in front of my house, some a$$hole would have the nerve to say that's not right!!! Not that I would do that nor do I believe in the "Nazi"or "Rebel" thing before someone on here blows a gasket. I guess what I am saying is it sucks that there is freedom for some and not for others!!! End Rant... Sorry Allen, this seemed like a good place to put my thoughts.

I defenitly agree with all this.
In two months. Ive driven from brownsville, tx to pocatello idaho.
Granted the south west is historically a primary place for mexican decent.
But i was near stinkin canada!
I have seen more mexican americans that dont speak english possible illegals. in the last two months than ive seen all my life.
Granted i live in a community that is very vocally racist. this still isnt good for american
WE MUST HAVE ONE LANGUAGE OR WE WILL CRUMBLE AS A NATION

Political correctness has come to a point where it no longer has its ethical meaning even to the ones who demand it. The use of it is only to avoid lawsuits from hurt feelings, instead of allocating the term for appropriate reasons. What are the appropriate reasons? The whole world has wanted to live in this great nation only once here they want to display and praise their mother lands? Why? You left your country for what reason again? Whatever the reason you wanted to be in The United States of America not your home country, so once you're here do the appropriate steps to become a CITIZEN and speak the language of THIS land, not your motherland's. There is no such thing as Mexican-American, African-American, European-American, Spanish-American, blah blah blah... If you are a citizen of THIS country - The United States of America - you are an AMERICAN...period! Sure, go ahead and remember your ancestry. By all means do so, but classify it appropriately. I think of the quote: 'If you can read this thank a teacher, if you can read this in English thank a soldier!' and it should put everything in perspective to everyone of this country. A lot of people who know me will attest I am not a politically correct kind of person, but yet, I do not go out of my way to piss people off either. (Well, there are a select few who deserve it) I try to be diplomatic about things which I feel may need to be handled in such a manner. It is only when I have to endure this, "You owe me this, you owe me that!" when it comes to race or nationality do I have a problem with it. Matter of fact I owe no one anything (other than the banks and such), so get off my back and out of my wallet! I understand this country is better than any other country and can see why people want to be here, whether it be due to the lack of industry, and plethora of corruption in their own country, but get your citizenship the old fashioned way...earn it! Get your money the old fashioned way EARN IT ! Stop waiting for others to hand it over to you. You know, I am in a business which is a seasonal business and it gets VERY lean this time of year in my area and not once have I thought of someone else (the government or society) footing my bills because I have a bit more pride in providing for my family than receiving a handout and will do what it takes to do it legally and ethically. I understand, completely, there are some who need assistance because of hardships and I pray I am not heading that way, so don't get me wrong in this respect. The down side to this is, we are paying out of our butts for services these illegal leaches are receiving for free. Not to mention convicts and their free ride!!!

What baffles me is that it is so clear that the illegals should be deported and not supported yet the politicians cater to them.

Coupled with Americans dying more by illegals hands, the banks are wanting to reward them with cash and leniency. They do, indeed, have a clear window to come into this country. If our border agents try to defend the border they'll go to prison. Maybe I need to move to Mexico and change my name and make a rush back over here and claim to be a "displaced immigrant" and receive ample amount of money and assistance.

"Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down. Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it. After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for the emselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo. Problem solved. "
