Wild Thing's comment........

Well good grief! How about if we had McCain, Bush, Kennedy and rest of the ILLEGAL friendlies pay for this instead of "we the people". This makes me so furious that we all have to pay for this, and those in power demanding we cave in to the illegals probably pay the least if anything at all.

Then there are those like Geraldo that tell us ( I heard this on one of Laura Ingraham radio shows when she had Geraldo on) how smart they are, smarter then any other immigrant. That is what Geraldo said and thank God for Laura laying into Geraldo about this BS. What a LIE, what a bunch of poppycock! If they were sooooo smart then we would have to have the press #2 for Spanish all over the freaking place. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

NO OTHER immigrant group has had to have this, no other has demanded it.
Illegals are so SMART Geraldo ????? I think NOT, prove it by taking away every single Press # 2 for Spanish!!!



......Thank you Mark for sending this.

They mistakenly think that if we cut and run from Iraq and Afghanistan that all the money we spend now for the War on Terror can be used for social programs to "help" those of us less fortunate than others. It's that "keep 'em on the public dole, so they won't complain." But that gets our poverty stricken citizens nowhere. It keeps perpetuating the problem. They should use the money for programs to train these citizens something they can take and use to get a job and off the public dole, so the money can be used elsewhere, like to pay down the deficit!
But I think it's sad that they voted for the war and now that it didn't end in their super tight timeline, they're going to fight against it and create havoc for all of us.
Vote them out of office next time they come up for election!

If they are so smart, why are Mexico and Central America so screwed up they have to leave?

These dems are phenomenal spenders, especially of the public money they are entrusted with. They love to have buildings and bridges built and named after themselves. Our tax $$ at work.

Democrats in Congress (and the White House) and the voters who put them in office will go down in history for destroying the Constitution and country by ignoring the difference between illegal and legal and granting amnesty to millions of past, present, and future law breakers and criminals. Press 2 for Español. Stupid gringos!

Lynn, exactly they must think a real war is nothing more then one of the games kids play on the computer where they can turn it off when they have to go to something else.

drstrangeloveb52isok, Sheik Obama yes some sheik, yuk a roo.

Tom, yes, even their Presidents of Mexico have been a huge part of the problem. I am so sick of their President's expecting the USA to allow the illegals like they do instead of fixing their own countries problems.

Les that is just what they are too....
"law breakers and criminals" and they sit in our many offices of representatives of our country. It is upsetting and sad too.
