Martha Rickey, you couldn't be more wrong in your assessment of our immigration problems. These aren't "hungry, starving people" sneaking across our border. They are simply people seeking in to improve their lot in life and doing so at the expense of their neighbor by breaking our laws and stealing our services. They are no different than a burglar who has come uninvited into my house because he thinks he deserves a share of what I have worked so hard myself to acquire - only he wants it for almost nothing. Sure he is willing to work, and we often hear the old communist mantra spewed back when we protest his presence of "But we are worker, we work hard so we deserve to share as much as you do" BS. Martha, go find someone else, someone actually deserving to cry for. Any person who breaks the law with intent and displaces his neighbor, (LEGAL IMMIGRANTS) with greed and malice is evil. That is what these illegal aliens are doing to our country.

If anything, Nick, you prove my point. You sound like a man fully capable of repeating what he's been told. Who gains by working you up into this lather? Hint: It's not the communists. If you think immigrants set U.S. immigration policy, dude, you've got another think coming.
