Pay attention.
I don't believe that.
If you had been paying attention, you would have known that.
You are the only person I have ever met who says they laugh at Ann Coulter's stuff.
I believe it's usually sold in the "politics" section. Not the "humor" section.
I guess it's better than taking the inane crap she says seriously... | No, I am not the only one who laughs at what Ann Coulter says. She makes me laugh. What else can I say. |

Of COURSE they tried to get here "before mama gave birth".
But no, I do not fault people for wanting to emmigrate to the United States. Because DESPITE what the die-hard cry-babies like Hevusa, et al say, it is STILL the greatest nation on earth. It is still the land of opportunity.
THAT is why millions of people - including Muslims that allegedly HATE everything Western - are coming here. |

Seriously, they come over if they can get here.....giving birth in the US is a bonus....but they almost always come from poverty looking for the American Dream..... | The Urban Institute estimates that the cost of educating illegal alien children in the nation’s seven states with the highest concentration of illegal aliens was $3.1 billion in 1993 (which, with the growth of their population to 1.3 million, would be more like $5 billion in 2000). This estimate does not take into account the additional costs of bilingual education or other special educational needs.
FAIR estimates there are currently between 287,000 and 363,000 children born to illegal aliens each year. This figure is based on the crude birth rate of the total foreign-born population (33 births per 1000) and the size of the illegal alien population (between 8.7 and 11 million). In 1994, California paid for 74,987 deliveries to illegal alien mothers, at a total cost of $215.2 million (an average of $2,842 per delivery). Illegal alien mothers accounted for 36 percent of all Medi-Cal funded births in California that year. Federation for American Immigration Reform: Anchor Babies: The Children of Illegal Aliens

2) They are breaking the law. People who employ them are breaking the law. These are statements of fact.
If they want the American life, then they should immigrate legally to America.
3) I can handle somebody liking my car and wishing for one of their own. I can handle them working hard to be able to afford a car like mine.
I cannot and will not abide my tax-payer dollars blindly going to just buy them a car...

Yes I DO know what they do and cost....and what they contribute. (I'm not going to waste time on the pros and cons of them being here.) .......I hate to say this Alias, but if you do everything nice and legal, you often don't get anywhere.... I am just stating a fact. They do not qualify for legal immigration.....so they get here any way they can.... (I am not a part of it, but I know LOTS on how they get here.....How, not when....) I still say, think good or bad about them, but people like me can understand their desire to live in the greatest country on earth.... I am a proud American.. |
