Recession... time to enforce Deportation ?

This is mainly about illegal immigrants.

Does anyone else feel like they are someone of a help to the recession?..
aside of all the banks and such which actually caused the recession..

I'm talking about people who are being laid off work due to this but can't receive any financial aid. All programs who assist low income families due to being laid off by the recession along with other programs who aid no longer have room to help all these people.
For example medicare is riding of their free vision and dental programs because there is just too many people on this program.
So everyone has to suffer... People who truly need this aid.. disabled people and the elderly. They no longer have any vision or dental programs and have no way of paying for it on their own.

Now my next issue.
Illegal immigrants make up around half the percentage of people covered by welfare.
and now to get more into that... more than 30% of those illegal immigrants have families which they don't report their husbands working so they get that extra income. They get money for every child they have. plus wick.. and sometimes even the women work and down report that.
Along with that.. their garages are rented out as homes.

So they get at least 4 different sources of income coming in. Plus free medical from claiming medicare.

They break the law and see nothing wrong with this as long as they have enough money to put them into new 2 SUVs and a new truck.

Do your research before you bad mouth me.

Innocent americans who abide by the law who are being affected by the recession who have worked their whole life and are down to the last dime of their rainy day fund are suffering.. they can't get on any aid cuz it's full.
They lose their car and forced to drive an 85 corolla while these illegal people are riding pretty in their brand new rides, taking advantage of the system and not having to worry about anything.

When my great grandparents came to this country they made sure they got their citizenship asap! they lived by the law and were happy and thankful to do so. As did most of the immigrants in that generation. They were so happy to given the chance to be a free american. But it seems now days they don't care about America.

I think citizens should be first in line to receive any kind of aid. I mean it's only fair right?
I would never go to another country and take advantage of their system then expect to receive all these free benefits. It's just wrong!

Everywhere I go... I see illegals who can't even speak english driving these big new cars. They work under the table and have a legal family member sign for everything they own.
It's embarrassing to see them park next to honest americans who are driving a beat down car just because they were laid off too late to receive any help. They are forced to move in with a family member because they lost their house.
While illegals are living comfy in their house that they just remolded with all the money they cheated from the government.

I'm not against illegals but I'm against them abusing our system.
I'm not categorizing all illegals do it like that. But a fare enough percentage of them do...
It's like stereo types... they all came from something true right?


It has been past time. I am just glad more U.S. tax paying citizens have become aware of the actual destruction of illegals.


How does alcohol and marijuana affect driving skills? | Weed Seeds ...

Don’t listen to comment#2, it’s bullsht.

Alcohol: you feel dizzy, sleepy, too comfortable in the safety of your car, not too responsive either

Pot: you are way too reactive but can drive safer than under the effects of alcohol. also, being stoned will make you feel like you’re driving way faster than you acctually do.

I don’t recommend either. bbye

Wow, a bunch of uninformed people chirping on this one. Amazing what people will ingest without even checking up on it first.

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant: It lowers heart rate, blood pressure and inhibitions, and can, in high doses, shut down major organ systems. It, like a lot of other drugs, is a toxin, which means you can overdose on it (and thus the name intoxilyzer for breath tests). One other thing alcohol does in small amounts is reduce fine motor control, which is why feild sobriety tests are effective. Small motor control is used a lot in speaking, which is why drunk people slur their words, fumble/drop things, etc. Fine muscles also control your eyes, so when you are drunk you develop a nystagmus, which basically means your eyes twitch instead of moving smoothly, because the muscles lose fine motor control.
