I don't think your a bigot at all, though certainly that is what all of the people defending the illegals and lobbying against immigration reform and tighter border controls would call you and me both DrMiller.

It's a shame that they are able to take their radical views and lobby so effectively and fight so effectively in the court system to prevent these reforms, and keep such large contingents of illegals on the dole in this country. Their efforts just help perpetuate the system as more illegals come into the country to take advantage of the system, help get their children educated, their medical needs taken care of for free, and have their child rearing covered by the government in the form of WIC and other AFDC (aid for families with dependent children) type services.

I applaud Arizona for trying to stop the madness. If California, New Mexico and Texas joined in -- rather than playing politics and pandering to these lobbies -- than much of the immigration problem for this country would be solved, and literally billions of dollars could be spent on our own legitimate needs. More and better schools, better health care, and more.

I suppose that perhaps another answer is to provide more federal dollars to Mexico to build better schools there, to pay for better health care there, and so on. And perhaps we could encourage more employers to move their places of business south of the border in an effort to provide jobs for people in Mexico that would help keep Mexican citizens at home there, rather than seeing them taking life and death chances to leave their lives there in favor of coming here. But, it strikes me that NAFTA was an effort to do some of these very things. It was supposed to help make things better for Mexico and Canada as well as the United States.

Ross Perot and others told us many times that we were going to hear a huge sucking sound of jobs going to Mexico and it just hasn't happened, and we continue to see our porous borders over-run with people coming to America to be part of the great society.

I agree that those who wish to immigrate should do so legally. Illegals are largely miscreants and criminals in their home country, who would be denied immigration status if they applied, and thus, come across illegally. They are disporportionately represented among the criminal underclass in our own country, and any attempt to marginalize or legalize them undermines our own internal security.


I am not insensitive to the rampant poverty that a minority of illegals are trying to escape; however, their escape should not be a "free ride" in the form of welfare and/or medical benefits. Too many Americans who could use the temporary assistance welfare was meant to provide are denied it in part because of the costs incurred by the large numbers of illegals.

I agree with that. We should stop being a country of free rides to illegal aliens.
