I agree that the people who want to come here to enjoy a better life should do just that...but do it legally. There was a story in our local paper about a husband and wife who went through the process to become legal citizens...it took them a year...and thousands of dollars do do it right.
There was a picture of a local protest here...and on the sign it said, "We pay taxes" to which someone said..."Yea, right.Show me your LEGALLY optained SS card and ANY of your tax returns...
We have a really big problem on our hands now...I'm sure with enough pressure from the 'ordinary' citizens...we'll get someting done.
Another interesting quote from a local teacher here was "What do I tell my students in my civics class...when we welcome any people that are fleeing from Cuba with open arms...but people of the same nationality from Mexico are looked at in a totally different way."
