:roll: Shorty. Strange such comments would come from you. Check the area around Waynesboro, Va. My wife was raised there, last fall we spent a month visiting her family and friends. While there, I learned that numerous people had been laid off from GE for cheaper illegal mexican labor. One lady, a twenty five year employee was canned eight months short of retirement. The company hired two mexicans at half the wage she was drawing. Several other people I talked to were in the same position, unemployed because some mexican had taken their job for less money. I was talking to a couple of LEOs at breakfast one morning, one told me the estimate was over 2500 illegals in that area alone. They had all but taken over the construction areas of cement finishing, tile laying, brick laying and foundation building.
At what point will there be too many, causing some of them "hillbilly" boys to get their shooting irons and correct a situation that our government does nothing about?
The drain on our economy from coast to coast supporting the welfare needs of illegals is causing problems in a lot of areas. It is a multi-million dollar drain on Texas taxpayers alone. Our medical facilities are over extended, I know of one case, where an American veteran suffering a heart attack, was turned away, and sent to a hospital 60 miles away, because the hospital staff was treating several illegal aliens for dehydration, after they were rescued from the desert by Border Patrol agents. English is the language that is spoken here, so why do we have to support programs in our schools to teach in another language? In Abilene, TX., there are 27 different languages spoken in the schools. A teacher has to be hired that can speak in that kids language to teach them. In addition, how many of the illegals are criminals released from the jails in their country due to overcrowding, and encourage to flee to America by their government.. How many bring dieses from their country, and pass it on to Americans? TB is an example, it was all but eliminated from the USA, the mexicans have blessed us, and brought it back. It is much more common than 20 years ago. What is the cost of dealing with illegals who commit crimes? If I remember correctly, Texas has over 7000 behind bars now, thanks to my taxpayer dollars. And to top it off, most are driving illegal, no license, no insurance. If one hits your child, or grandchild, I am sure your attitude would change considerably.
Another point, lots of illegals that are caught and returned to their home country are back in the USA in a matter of days. One such individual had bee convicted of child molestation in Washington state. Some how he was deported and never served a day of his sentence. Two months later he had returned to Tucson, AZ., where he raped another child. We need to put these guys away for good.
See what happens when ya gets me started......just be prepared. :x :x :x :x
