I found this on yahoo this morning. In the article it makes not giving them automatic healthcare sound like a bad idea. As the child of fully LEGAL immigrants I dont see why these people should get any kind of free ride. It took my father 7 years to become a naturalized citizen. He has his green card and citizenship papers framed and up on the wall in my parents house. The way I see it, if he had to follow the law everyone else should have to follow the law also. There shouldnt be any short cuts to becomeing a citizen , no matter how many babies you squirt out.

Hats off to your father. He did it the right and correct way. I have a feeling this will be relegated to the political forum.

I know a person here in Atlantic County, NJ who works in the health care system and she has lost count of the number of illegal immigrants who 1) swap bogus Social Security Cards,2)give bogus names, and 3) refuse to speak English. She said, "Do you realize the danger of trying to treat someone who won't/can't speak English?" And if something happens guess who gets sued and/or loses their license?

Illegal aliens are also getting social security benefits while not paying taxes. Isn't the dire warning that Social Security will become broke in the near future? That's it, add to the early demise by straining it even further...

Moving this to the Current Events Forum, since this is more of a serious-tone topic covering non-personal( in general) news.

Cheers.
