Reply #22: I don't blame her.

People like her worked hard to come here legally, while these criminals enter the country illegally, get forged documents illegally, and a good number of them get involved with gangs and other criminal activity once they get here.

We had a conversion van stolen by these "hard-working" people, who abandoned it in the middle of a street in a border town, and WE had to pay for towing charges.

I'm sick of people whining and crying about letting these criminals have amnesty. Easy for these people to talk; they don't live in a border state where these illegals are a constant danger.

And for the record, we're doing some big-time shopping on May 1st, because that's when we get paid. My family lives on fixed government income (retirement and disability), and we're barely able to keep food on the table toward the end of the month. No way are we going hungry to support criminals.

Mexico's poverty is Vicente Fox's problem, not the USA's. Mexico doesn't do anything to help our nation's impoverished, or even to help stem the tide of illegals. Fox wants to throw his problems off on America, Bush wants illegals here to drive wages down and destroy the middle class, and both of them are WRONG.
