Ok, I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are sincere and not just pulling our chains for your own amusement.
I know where you are coming from. I agree that if someone needs medical care, they should receive it, even if I have to pay for it. We are humans and need to treat other humans the way we would like to be treated if we were in similar circumstances.
So, I guess my argument was a little to broad based. I am willing to concede on the medical care, but pretty much all the other handouts, all the other concessions, all the other things we do that are out of the norm to accomodate these people has got to stop.
I think it is obvious that the methods we have used up to this point have proven to be ineffective. IMO, the reason is that once they get here, the party is on. If we quit providing them with food stamps, welfare, free medical care (routine medical care), free housing, changing public signs and documents to their language etc. They might quit coming.
They have the right to be proud of their country of origin. They can fly that countries' flag, speak that countries language, and continue to follow the customs of that country. I just wish they would do it in that country instead of this one. We have our own flag in this country. We have a language in this country and we have our own customs.

I ALWAYS use the reverse hypothesis theory. IF I were in MEXICO, would I be given all the benefits of MEXICAN citizens?
Would I get medical care or other bennies FOR FREE?
You will have to answer those questions for yourself. I already know the answers.
Why do you think they all come over here? Why do you think Mexicans send $400 Billion 'back home' every year?
Sheesh, Nafta and Gatt were supposed to 'SOLVE' all these problems. They just made it easier for illegals. Has anyone here seen a big rig that travels the roads of Mexico? Do you want them on OUR highways, just a breaths throw from being an accident?

Hey guys.
Why don't we have our Senators lobby Mexico for free medical care to all of the guatemalans, ecuadoreans, etc, south of their border?
Can we have Mexico institute an open borders policy, as well as revoke its stringent requirements for citizenship?
Mexicans can get free medical care at hospitals, why not give them free food, and a free college education?
It's time to do something about this problem and fast. I suggest we get together with our friends at American Renaissance (who seem to have the right idea about how to do things) and force Congress and Bush to get serious on this topic.
I don't care if La Raza or anybody else makes noise. We'll think about that later, while migrants are deported by the truckload.
