Obama has already announced his support for healthcare and education for illegal aliens at a time when most states are denying those same services in droves. He has also made the statement that rather than Mexican children learning English, English speaking children should learn Spanish--all of these things are quite well documented if you care to look for them--the links to valid sources are peppered all throughout this forum.

Kele, I agee with you 1000% I am sick of taxes and footing the bill for everyone else who chose not to get some sort of education. I paid for my eduction while all these other people can get handouts and yet they choose not to do anything to help themselves.

Now I am getting sucked dry because I went to college. I am tired of it and I am even more tired of Liberals telling me I need to be more patriotic (Biden), or not be selfish (Obama).

It's all about the power. The Liberals want to keep the people needy and depending on them. They throw them a few bread crumbs and this way these "needy" people will keep voting them in. If they really wanted to help people they would get them off assitance so that everyone can work, and pay taxes instead of draining one small group of tax payers to pay for everything.

Basic economic 101 tells us that raising taxes effects everyone one, not just the "rich".

Note that these two have extremely low charitable contributions, except for the years since Obama started running for office in 2004. For him, it was all about appearing charitable to win a vote. For Biden, he's always been selfish. As far as "giving" is concerned, these are two hypocrites preaching patriotism and selfishless.. but only with other people's money.

Exactly. Here's someone who understands the shackles of the liberal social program agenda (if you can make it far enough into the video):

YouTube - BTW I'm Voting For Mccain / Palin

I wasn't the one claiming Obama will do this or McCain will do that. Fact: illegal aliens have been receiving health care and education for years and years whether Clinton or Bush was president. The Op made it sound it like this will only happen under Obama. For someone who fights illegal immigration, you seem ignorant.

You and Kele:

Do you read any of the links you post? I guess you see a sensational headline and just post it, sort of like McCain picking Palin. Each one less the right wing blah above lay out Obama's position which always makes sense. I know conservatives only consider "illegals" to be Latinos or Africans but many are from all around the world to include Europe..THis country is all about immigrants, built and designed by and for immigrants. Unless you are a Native American Indian, your descendents were immigrants, forced or by choice..Giving them a license doesn't grant them citizenship, just the right to drive and do all the jobs "true" Americans refuse to do.

Drywall
Masonary
Roofing
Paving

Factory work. By the way I work in a factory so spare me Americans hate factory work slogan. My Mill has 2700 employee's. All Legal citizens. Procter & Gamble has higher standards than most.

I know the illegals get free health care now. My husband and I are in the medical field and we know first had that they are living off the tax payers backs already but there are millions more that aren't covered and they will be covered. Anyone can say it is not true but we work in the field and we know first hand who is getting the hand outs.

BTW Obama's Aunt was illegally here and yes, she was living in welfare housing and yes she was living off assistance. So even Obama's family is milking the system illegally. AND for those who will claim he didn't know her, that is not true. She was there when he was sworn into the Senate and she donated $260 towards his campaign.

Tinman~ Liberal always claim the illegals do jobs that regualr Americans won't. That is just their spin. We all know that the construction industry is all illegals. We have man, many friends who have lost their jobs to illegals in the field. We had a drywall friend who was making $28 an hour had 3 kids, one of which is handicapped. He basically was told they were cutting him to $10 an hour and if he didn't take the cut, then he lost his job.

So he had no choice but to leave a company he was at for 15 yrs. Illegals are now doing his job. So how fair is that?
