Point to Ponder







Why is it that if you cross the North Korean border illegally you get thrown


into prison and get 12 years of hard labor... if you cross the Iranian


border while out supposedly leisurely hiking in the hills you get arrested


and imprisoned... but if you cross the U.S. border illegally you get a


driver's license, a Social Security card and free health care.

Or one could say that those places have people wanting to disarm them so they can invade and overthrow. That would be what I would be thinking if I was one of the leaders of those two nations. Love the US, War Vetran, but sometimes you have to think about what you would do if you were the other team. That is what I liked about Patton.

That is because you have not been looking Tyler. My guess is that moswt of the illegals have several. How do you think they get jobs?

FAKE SS CARDS!

Why do the employers in the region hire these illegals, these with ss cards and can't speak english? All personel would have to do is say "I have to check your ss card, I will be right back", no one would be there2 minutes later.

Two reasons from the places I go Doc. First is that they can't get anyone else to show up and work. Second is that they work cheap. All the emplyers need is for one of them to speak a little bit of english and he communicates with the rest. I work with illegals all over the country and the story is the same. Guy right up the road from you has a building full of 'em. You know who I mean.

Maybe not in Tennessee. You can easily find one in Houston. I really don't believe anyone, other than those that live states that border Mexico, really understand the issues with illegal aliens.

Maybe not yet but we are learning fast Timbo.

I reread my post and concluded that it sounds snotty. That was not my intent. I lived in Houston for over 40 years, and have observed first hand the effects of illegal immigration. What I should have written, "I don't believe those in Congress or the Whitehouse (including Former President Bush) really understand the scope of the issues involving illegal aliens." Please accept my apologies if I offended anyone.

I have seen first hand the effects illegals, not from a criminal aspect, but from a services aspect. Yes,they are breaking the law just being here but that's not the law I speaking about. For the most part, most of the illegal aliens are doing their best to keep a low profile. It's when they or their children get the sniffles that they show up at the ER and get free services. They won't go to a doctor or a clinic because they know they will be charged. They give a fake name and ID and then leave, leaving the others that do pay the bill paying higher premiums on insurance, higher doctor bill etc. not to mention clogging the ER's causing those that do have issues longer waiting times. It has more of a ripple effect than most realize. Those in Congress are too insulated from these kinds of issues to really understand the effects unless they actually experience them. When Congress is subject to the laws and regulations they pass on to the peasants of the country is the day the lights will go on their collective heads.

I hate to say it but illegal immigration might be the countries saving grace. Think about it most illegals come to work hard be successful and raise a family. Since most are Catholic they have large families and are very family oriented with good values. They also come to escape govt corruption. It seems very similar to the reason our nations forefathers came over in the first place. Maybe this should make all of us take a good hard look at what our society has become so we can get back to our founding beliefs that made this country great!
