A pregnant illegal sneaks across the border and goes to a local hospital’s emergency ward (sometimes still wet from wading across the Rio Grande River) to deliver the child and/or children.  The child/children are American citizen/s.  The American tax payer pays the hospital bill.&lt;br&gt;2.	The illegal’s new American citizen child receives aid to dependent children paid for by the local American citizens.&lt;br&gt;3.	Using the money received from the local Aid to Dependent Child fund.  The illegal mother and American child/children now find a place to live with 1, 2 or 3 other illegal families in a rent house and/or apartment.  This house and/or apartment were usually designed to house a family of 4 or 5; this additional amount of people using a house and/or apartment of this size eventually ruins the house and/or apartment thus turning it into a slum house and/or apartment.  This devalues the local real estate values, costing the local American homes owners some of the equity built up over the years in their homes.  Don’t look now but, there goes your retirement plans! (Always remember you can work at WalMart as a door greeter until you die!)&lt;br&gt;4.	The illegal’s family now living in America can receive free medical care at a local hospital’s emergency room. These costs are paid for by the local American tax paying citizens. (Cost to Harris county tax payers $100,000,000.00 or more a year.)&lt;br&gt;5.	The illegal’s husband and/or boyfriend finds work at a local business for several dollars less then the going hourly rate paid American workers and they work Saturdays and Sundays for straight hourly pay, not over time pay.  The result of this is more profits to the company’s owner, the hourly pay rate for the local area is affected and American workers lose their jobs.  &lt;br&gt;6.	The illegal sends 30% to 50% of their income home to their home country, which affects the local economy.  And, because they send a large percentage of their checks to their home country, these illegal aliens go to the local government for food stamps and welfare to support their American citizen child/children.&lt;br&gt;7.	The illegal’s American citizen child/children receive a free education from the local taxpayers.  And, because their parents are buying and/or leasing new Lexus SUV’s, Cadillac Escalades, Lincoln Navigators or new pick-up trucks to pick their child/children up at the local school everyday.  The local tax payers pay to feed these new American citizens a breakfast and lunch every day at the local school.&lt;br&gt;8.	After graduating from the local High School the illegal’s American child/children apply to a state funded college and receive “special” consideration for entrance and the state’s tax payer’s pay for their college education. It is great to receive a college education without paying a dime for the education that natural born American children would pay thousands for.&lt;br&gt;9.	The illegal’s American child/children use their college education and affirmative action to receive preferential treatment over your children for a job.&lt;br&gt;10.	At age 21 the illegal’s American citizen child/children can apply for citizenship for their parents which are in most cases granted.  The benefit of this is their parents are now eligible for Social Security and Medicare benefits and the children will not have to support them the American tax payer will.&lt;br&gt;11.	They refuse to learn English, so the state and federal governments print everything in Spanish.  This cost is passed along to the tax payers.  (State of California pays 60 million a year top print these documents in Spanish.)&lt;br&gt;12.	 When they receive amnesty they are not required to learn English like everyone else who became naturalized citizen the LEGAL way&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All along you thought these illegals were just dirty, dumb and stupid people.  Also, remember that the politicians of America are pandering to this group for votes.  Oh Yes, illegal’s can and probably do vote in American elections!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Lynn</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:42:08 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: McCain feels heat from anti-immigration movement</title><link>http://www.coloradoindependent.com/7936/mccain-feels-heat-from-anti-immigration-movement/#comment-2366016</link><description>HE HASN'T CHANGED!
