AMEN! WHich is why I became somewhat emotional in my post and ended up with some characters left out and some phrasing problems.

I could not agree more on the problem with day laborers in the Mexican population.. As I am sure you know, we have some natural born citizens in the same situation. Neither is good.

My point is that we are basically 'screwing' the majority of the illegal Mexican workers who are paying all taxes but not receiving benefits from them. You will find as many American borns at hospital emergency room as you will Spainish speaking persons. In my limited experience, they have always been fewer Spainsih speaking.

Everyone should become a citizen, no doubt. I look upon most as not illegal but denied.

Ever wonder if a couple of Congressional wags had some research done which showed an astonomical amount of dollars being paid into social security which would never have to be paid back to the contributors? (non-citizen Mexicans) A convient source of funds which could be used to pay back political contributors.
