(Volunteer @ Mar 28 said:OklaVol, do you know what illegal immigrants do with the cash they earn illegally here in the U.S.? They send it to Mexico, the government of Mexico knows this and actually budgets for it. If you don't believe me, next time you see a Tienda Mexicana, that is a mexican store, look at the signs in the window, since most of them are in spanish, I'll translate them. They advertise the services to send their dollars to Mexico.
It means nothing to you? Why not? Are you not interested in seeing our economy suffer because billions of dollars are sent back to Mexico ILLEGALLY?
To say "It means nothing to me." is true ignorance.
I can see how you might misconstrue my comments.
But when I said it means nothing to me, I meant because they are having no impact on my opinion. I'm against amnesty and certainly against illegal immigration. They can march all they want, they are not going to change the opinion of the majority of Americans.
In the polls I've seen, 80% of the people are against amnesty and illegal immigration. Those comments you had, I'm heard those before, the 86 billion cost to the social system, impact on hospitals, illegal drugs they bring into the country, etc. its all over the internet and radio, shawn hannity and michael savage talk about it almost every day.
I lived in Tucson, Az for 4 years, and it is 1 hr from the most heavily crossed border (illegally) in the U.S. I know first hand the negative impact of illegal immigration. But thanks for calling me ignorant. :biggrin2:
