How to Really Solve Our Financial Crisis

[Crappie Reaper]

If those you talk about are working here in American and have wives & children,As Americans we should promote there children with health care and education.....remember these people are here to work for a better life...how can we be against that,,,,how can we not admire what these people have to over come...the thing we were given by birth,, these people have to struggle just for a maybe one day acquire.............God Blessed America yet it is so hard for us to do the same for others? .........And it dont have to be

Bullfrog, the majority of these people do not want the American dream. They only want to make enough money so they can return to Mexico and be able to live a decent life. Meanwhile, they are bringing down our own people by cutting the prices on other working Americans, putting them either out of work, or making it so they must compete with the lower wages that the Illegals are willing to work for. An American who has not been directly effected by this will never know what it is like unless their particular line of work is impacted by them. As a Trim Carpenter, I have seen many hardworking bricklayers, drywall installers, mud/tapers, insulation, etc. All trades have been effected by the influx of these people. An American doing the same work, playing by the rules, cannot make it financially as their fathers could. I guess the biggest problem with the illegals being here is it forces a change in the rules of the game that an American cannot play by. It's comparing apples to oranges, and it's impossible to win. No one has said they didn't care about these people. I don't think anyone wants harm, or bad things to happen to them. But those of us whose financial situation has been attacked because of them, deserve to have the playing field leveled and see that everyone plays by the same rules.

If there ever was a country that needed invading, its Mexico. If that government is going to act like a parasite and suck off of us, then they should be taken out and let the Mexican People work the new oil rigs We put down there. They would get work and We would be rid of that problem. they would just have to learn English. CF

Billions don't matter???? I must have read that wrong.... Pennies make dollars my friend... And there never was a BILLION that didn't matter....Ever.

billions dont matter when we are 10 trillion in debt. like i said it might help some but then that corn and vegetables you buy for 99 cent now will end up being 5 dollars a can for having to pay americans 7.25 an hour to pick it isntead of 2 dollars an hour
