I wouldn't worry about this issue...and I live in the Southwest. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Although it is a shame that we spend tax dollars to offer various forms of support for illegal aliens--call it what it is, Vincente--it is more costly not to do so. [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] Did I just say that?
Illegal aliens perform jobs in the economy that normal American citizens will not do; those jobs are just as essential as any others for the society and economy to function normally. If those workers disappear, a black hole would open up in the economy and jobs that previously paid minimum wage (or less) would have to offer more pay to intice workers to fill the positions. Those employers would quickly go bankrupt, etc.

The worst part of this whole issue are the coyotes who smuggle people across the border. They take all the money those people have in the world and then endanger their lives; they treat people who are simply trying to find a better economic situation worse than dogs.
