Will we ignore hungry American citizens & Take care of illegal immigrants?

Nancy D

Very good question and I've been trying to find an answer for that for years. I've been an American citizen all my life and I always had to fight for everything I needed; while others had it handed to them; who couldn't even speak English. They get it because they have no job skills and cannot speak English. Even though I was having numerous health problems, they looked at my record and knew I had job experience so I was told to find a "less strenuous" job. I don't even want to go into it all, but I'm still fighting for medical care.

My personal view is that the government should stay out of the homeless and the poor and allow non-profits to help them. Also, if you are poor enough, Medicare kicks in for the emergency medical.

The real question, is why do so many Americans either legal or illegal not take care of their basic needs prior to taking care of luxuries. When I was going to college and semi-employed at misc jobs I was paying over $100 a month for health insurance. I did not have cable and did my darndest to survive with minimal help from others.

The second part of this is when will we go back to the early days when people worked hard for themselves or for a company?

We do it everyday in a million ways....and isn't it a crime? illegals should have no right to any American money...we should take care of our own first!!! Make sure you get out and vote for a candidate that supports your beliefs...that's the only way we are going to change what is going on. Vote and get your friends to take the time to VOTE VOTE VOTE....every vote makes a difference.

Is it possible our government is corrupt? God help us if it is. I've pondered this subject for 20 + YEARS. AMAZING ,WE TAKE OF EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT OUR OWN

How can an illegal immigrant recieve welfare or free medical insurance? In order to get those things you have to register with a valid social security number don't you? I've yet to see one source on these allegations. Now I know many hospitals won't turn away patients that don't have health insurance, but this is across the board, it applies to americans as well.

People who are illegal do not get benefits,at least not in this State. If there is a State in the U.S. giving benefits to illegals, I sure would like to know which one that is. Keep in mind in soeone is illegal and they give birth to a child here, the only person that could possibly be entitled to any welfare/assitance would be the child, and that surely isn't much. What, some milk, ceral and government cheese. There are plently of homeless that have the capacity to work and choose not to, just as many as there are tha make the effort and do not succeed. It's all a matter of getting up off your behind and going to your resources and motivating yourself and making the effort to move forward. Most people at some point in their lives all need help, regardless of their status or their color. Love thy neighbor and don't be so quick to point or judge

You know illegals on welfare? I'd like to meet them. Illegals aren't eligible for welfare.

The hungry and homeless have always been among us. Long before the first illegal decided to cross the border.

How are the illegals taking advantage of the tax payers? I know many illegals who ARE tax payers and they will never see one red cent of the money back in the way of welfare, medicaid, medicare, unemployment or social security. Does that seem more fair to you?

why are we spending $2 Billion every day in Iraq? why is New Orleans still a sh^t hole over a yr after Katrina? why is Ground Zero still a hole in the ground? cause the current administration is more concerned about themselves and their rich friends to care about innocent people dying everyday, about the homeless/jobless that can't even count on govt assistance to help them out

immigrants are not taking advantage of taxpayers - most of them actually pay taxes themselves, if they have health insurance it's cause they're paying for it (never heard of anyone that got health insurance for free) so stop with the ranting and raving about these decent hard-working people doing all they can to survive, we're all human, we all deserve the best life has to offer, and a border is just an imaginary line

any hungry Americans have way more rights to benefits, welfare or governemnt help than illegals do, so if they are for some reason starving, then they just havent gone to the right authorities for help, you make it sound like people or tax payers just choose to give it to illegals, or Americans get turned away

C'mon now!!!!

why not ask the puppet master George w bush
hes say stay the course no matter what the problems are
he gets fuller why Americans wither away to nothing

MIGHTY MINNIE

Ask our stupid, lazy,greedy,lying, thieving politicians........

We take care of 'homeless and hungry' Americans, too, dumbass. Ever hear of food stamps, WIC, welfare, Section 8? Americans qualify for those, too. Don't be an idiot. It's not us or them; it's them or not them. Don't couch your anti-illegal position in a pro-American position.

iknow its messed up i think we should snd all 40 million back

auhunter04

the only way I know is to annex Mexico then we have them all as US citizens. Remember there is great mineral wealth in Mexico (like oil), but somehow I do not think they would like that idea

cantor85

with a 12 Trillion GDP i think we can afford to help the children first and foremost, but that doesnt mean we should descriminate against aliens outright. look at how we're handling mexicos gov. we tried to help them out by giving money-didnt work, so what is there left to do? how about business? microloans in multiple fields (education, farms, hospitals). they'll be encouraged to work for a better life and build pride in we're they live. people want jobs, thats why their comming over here. assist in job growth over there, they'll think twice about risking their life to jump a fence

Oh so, 40 million illegals are on welfare???? Get your fact straight...
