I received the following email from my aunt.  She clearly doesn't know me at. all.


You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose llegal".

Both families have two parents, two children, and live in Arizona.

Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored lunch.

Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home.

Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but

Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.

Do you get it, now?

If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens.......You are part of the problem !

It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!



And here was my response:

What about when our friend Jose Ilegal doesn't get paid "under the table"? He still pays the same taxes as Joe Legal and now he too makes too much money for any welfare, just like Joe. If we are going to talk about people being paid "under the table" and abusing the welfare system, then we cannot just limit it to illegal immigrants. I would bet that more of the people who are abusing the system are citizens. Illegal immigrants are coming to this country to work and make money. They are not coming here to just suck off of our system.

Furthermore, the problem with the Arizona law isn't just that the cops are stopping illegal immigrants and asking for their papers, they are allowed to stop anyone. You and me included. You and me, tax paying citizens. They can stop anyone and ask for proof they are here legally. What if you were a legal Mexican immigrant? Would you not be afraid to be stopped by the police every single time you left your home??

Ignorance makes me so angry.
