I can't get on board with giving Illegal Immigrants free health care.

It always amazes me what laws politicians choose to ignore and the laws they choose to support and demand everyone follow.

I agree, the politicians do it for the VOTE. As you can see by the fall of the GOP since their issues are for a strong border and for keeping illegals out, that they will never win unless they have the hispanic/mexican voters on their side.

This number is very low. I am sure it is much higher than this. Obama wants to make sure he gets all the Latino votes, meanwhile we pay.

I think this is the only country that you can break the law by sneaking into the country, have no money, no job and expect the country to pay your way AND accomodate you with your refusal to speak our language. This just might be part of our problem.

not to worry, it won't cover any illegals because they will legalize them all.

can't argue with that. We want cheap labor then complain about illegals. We want cheap goods then complain about china making them and walmart selling them to you.

And we can blame the Govt. for this, they are doing nothing to try and fix the problem, all they want to do is make them legal. How about getting serious about companies hiring illegals? How about shutting them down if they continue to do it? That won't happen either, because this administration wants the illegals here to become legal for more votes.

I buy as little from the Great Walmart of China as I can. Mostly American made stuff like medicine.

Americans need to start supporting American companies.

Buy American at every opportunity.

GM and Chrysler would not have gone belly up if Americans hadnt sent their money to Japan, Germany and Korea.

I may be very pro-American, but I refuse to buy anything built by the communist UAW. Until GM/Ford get their act together I will not support these companies. If I had my way too, I wouldn't support Boeing either. The IAM is a joke.

Unions brought down GM and Chrysler, not us the consumers. Boeing will be the next one to topple by the looks of it.
