Thomas, one person’s garbage is another’s treasure..but please feel free….

I believe that, free speech is still allowed in our good ole USA…..and that folks have the right to express their opinion’s/feelings about illegal’s here in our Country….
You have your opinion…I have mine….others have theirs…

Ya’ll have a Happy Holiday season….starting with Thanksgiving, then Christmas and a Happy 2009..

Joyce2 doesn’t want her “tax dollars paying for the illels children, schooling, … because they are here ILLEGAL.”

The parents may be here “ILLEGAL,” but the children, if born here, are not. They are no less a citizen than you are joyce2, and they have every bit as much right to an education as your kids do (if you have kids).

That aside, even if I was thinking purely from selfish motives, I’m not sure why the illegal actions of parents should result in punishment for kids. We don’t deny an education to the child of a murderer, and for good reason. It would be self-defeating because having uneducated people living in America is not good for anyone. And it would be similarly self-defeating to deny an education to the children of illegal immigrants.

Joyce2 doesn’t want her “tax dollars” going toward the education of kids of illegal immigrants. But I think education is one of the best uses of my tax dollars, and while education is expensive, it is less expensive than ignorance.

Even from a self-interested point of view, it makes little sense to support policies that would result in many uneducated people (much less citizens, as these children are) living in America.

I don’t want MY tax dollars supporting an evil war in Iraq or school the children of racists, but I don’t get a choice do I?

I don’t hate anyone, there is a big difference between hate and just tired of some people taking advanage of a whole country because of some misguided idea that this is really their land that the US took from them. If this part of the Southwest United States was Mexico those people would still try and leave and come to the USA, why because we have freedoms that they don’t appear to have. I don’t want my tax dollars paying for the illegls children, schooling, health, because they are here ILLEGAL.

Does all the hate build up after a while and give you a headache?

I agree with Joyce … Buddy has people still taking about “This Ain’t Mexico”, I also love this song and think Buddy is a great singer and song writer, the music just flows.

I keep it playing while I’m at this site…
