I CANNOT FIGURE WHY ALL OF OUR AGENCIES CATER TO THE DIFFER NATIONALITIES AND OUR OWN PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE MEDICAL CARE AND HOUSING THEY NEED.... WE LET THEM HAVE REDUCDED INTEREST ON HOUSING, THEY ARE ELIG FOR MEDICAL WE CANNOT EVEN AFFORD TO HAVE. THEY ARE CONSIDERED A MINORITY....WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REALIZE WE ARE QUICKLY BECOMING THE MINORITY....IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, FRONTIER HOUSING AND GATEWAY HOUSING ARE BUILDING HOMES LEFT AND RIGHT AND WE CANNOT EVEN AFFORD A HOME TO LIVE IT.... WHAT IS RIGHT ABOUT THIS?

Nothing is right about This. i work in medical field and i am offered no health insurance. You have to be full time in order to get insurance. I'm part time and my husband makes decent money. I went to apply for medical cand was not eligible. If something serious happens, without insurance i'm bankrupt. Companies in America are starting to hire only part time so they don't have to offer insurance. but then they want you to volunteer and work extra. Even if you do, you still are not eligible because your part time. Wal-mart is getting good at this. The lady at the welfare office didn't know what to say. I told her i bet if i was a mexican, you would send me out of here with a box of food. The lady knew i was telling truth. My husband draws unemployment some in winter months. First question when you call it in- Press 1 for english 2 for spanish. That is messed up!!

And stop blaming your problems on others. You are ultimately responsible for how your life goes. Suck it up and improve yourself. Need a job? Go to school and actually garner an education. Become qualified for better jobs, which usually means better benefits. Stop worrying about others and take responsibility for your own short comings

Why does everyone suddenly define THE TRUTH as racism. The fact is that you are a pussy, and you don't have the nuts to stand up and say anything, you would rather lay in the shadows waiting to see what is politically correct, or what is most popular. You wish to be an everyman, but you are really barelyman. YOU are the one they were just talking about, who needs to stand up for what is right. While all of us hard working people are starving, you sit back and say get an education. OKAY! You are a shit for brains, if we need help (and can't get it) to pay our gas bills in the winter, what makes you think we have 40,000 a year for school? It used to be that you didn't have to have an education to eat. You used to get an education to have money, now you have to have money to get an education. All you snobby upperclass asses sit back spending money that grandma and grandpa made, and ya you have an education, but all you do is sit on your ass. Thanks for wasting americas time. Loser.

There is so much stupidity and ignorance in this tirade that it does not dignify as response. PS, you can get an education for next to nothing, I did. Obviously, you haven't though. It's obvious with your close-minded thought, and apparent allergy to grammar. By the way, I am standing up for what is right, so F*ck yourself with a huge bag of Di*ks, you white trash hill jack. Pop a Mountain Dew and head back into the trailer because your opinion and logic suck :)

Everyone who is paid legally pays taxes. It's withdrwn from your pay. There are different rules for sub contracters but the person paying those wages still has to declare what he is paying and to who. If an employer is paying anyone native born or immigrant, legal or illegal uder the table it's his fault and the one that deserves the blame. The same goes for Social Security. It's taken directly out of paychecks. It's not true that all illegal immigrants are sucking up public services and aren't paying any taxes and SSI.

I do, however, agree 100% with this assessment. And look at that, it lacks racism.

Substantiate this claims with some sort of evidence or GTFO. This is totally false, btw. The mexican population, whether here legally or illegally, have little bearing on out domestic economy, as measured by GDP.

People say that G W ruined our economy, it was fine when clinton was in office. Well when Clinton was in office immigration wasn't a problem. Coincidence, I think not. Besides that, what effect are they having on our health? Do You Know Where Swine Flu Originated? They actually bring diseases over here, which BTW is WIDESPREAD in 22 states.(Strangely enough not in TX, or CA). If that doesn't bother you then you have huge problems, and are a GDI.

Yeah, that's exactly what I think. Why would you need to press anything other than one, this is America and considering, I think everyone should be speaking english. If you don't, Fed Ex your a*s right back to the fuc*ing third world country you snuck out of. This is bull.

You cannot show any proof to this claim. THe melt down in the economy had absolutely nothing to do with illegal immigrants. That statement shows me how little you actually know about the economical situation in this country, and how little common sense you have. Secondly, swine flu was also brought over here by Americans, and it really isn't that bad. Sh!t happens. The attitude of the people in this town sickens me, as an American

You can get more work out of 1 Mexican than you can out of 3 Americans.They have a much stronger work ethic, when they go to work they actually work.
