I really desagree the american action to take the south of the actual US (Texas, New Mexico, etc, and of course, the Golden State: California).
I ask myself how could US be now without those states under it's kingdom?

we have "diversified" and "immigrated" ourselves into the toilet. Its time to send all non-citizens home until we can straighten out this mess. Stop any immigration until our economy will support us again. and everyone everywhere needs to enjoy the mess they made of their own country for awhile. without the strain of illegals and non-citizen foreigners, we just might get out of this hole, Is that right California?

sharkshit: we NEED a military, we don't need thirdworld, diseased, uneducated criminals . "a few immigrants" you are too stupid to be allowed to use up oxygen. you must be one of the cockroach shit illegals, get out motherfucker. Immigrant, implies welcome and wanted, illegal aliens are not "immigrants", rather you are unwanted scumsuckers. you will leave, one way or the other.

You've been watching TV too much, couchpotatoe! With only the money spent in Iraq every person in the states could have medical coverage. However dumb uneducated animals like yourself are too busy getting high on smoking toilet paper than reading. Now go fuck yourself , asshole!

everyone can have insurance now, all they have to do is pay for it like i do mine with my own money. Iraq has nothing to do with it. I have plenty of money, highly educated and not NEEDY like you. I suspect you are undereducated(dropout) and so moronic that it limits your ability to get a well paying job. And it is the needy like you that have fucked yourselves, too bad huh? i dont give a fuck if all you needy get sick and die without ins. you could have worked for. po you.

we need to deport all Illegals and their children they had in this country because their birth here was Illegal in the first place so they should not be considered citizens by naturalization.

I think most of them do contribute. They work and spend money, I don't see how that wouldn't be considered contribution.

By that standard, every human being spends money for their own existence.

Even goats and sheep eat grass that costs money, so they may be spending through their owners for their existence.

Beyond that, what is the contribution of illegals? They take away jobs that would otherwise exist for legal people, jobs that legal people would pay tax on their income for.

So illegals put legal people out of job and pay nothing to the state in the form of taxes.
