I was thinking about this yesterday, and seriously - those people are not all that bad off! We have them here, they get housing, and interiour, furniture down to a microwave from the government. But when hard working people need some support, they get told to sell their house, car, and all the luxuries they own. Thats the bonus you get for paying heavy tax!

Exactly!!! Our small little town will never be the same and that's a shame.

Please don't get me wrong, I am not prejudice in any way, shape or form, but there are laws and rules. They need to be followed!

I agree! Instead of spending so much time and energy to reward these people for immigrating the wrong way, we should see this as a sign that we need to work on our legal immigration process and make it more streamlined and welcoming people into our country and citizenship the right way. Does that make sense?

Yes, my question is...are we being infiltrated? Makes you wonder what is really going on....with so many coming here illegally. I'm not going to say anymore, I don't want anyone to think I'm prejudice, I'm not, I would feel this way toward anyone coming here in great numbers illegally.

Oh I don't think you're prejudice. I'm not either. I am upset that the USA is making this process so difficult for people to do the right way.

I agree... I'm sorry if this offends anyone but seriously..... they get a FREE education and yet born Americans like myself who work full time and go to school full time cannot qualify for financial aid because I make "according to them" too much $$ and I have to get myslef in debt with student loans... where is the fairness in that?

I dont think you have offended anyone girl, i am sure many people feel the same way.
Im going through a similar issue with my son, most of hes classmates get financial aid (those parents get it) i tried to apply last year, after a friend told me, they got it, so why wouldnt we get it. They also run their own business, and she has a parttime job, i know they have a high income. Well, back to the point, they refused us, according to them, our income over the past years was higher then average. I honestly dont know what we do wrong, i always pull on the short end of the stick. You are right Cindy, it just isnt fair!!
