    Is it fair that Illegal immigrants get all the medical care and benefits that legal U.S.citizens are entitled to?  Also, including Social Security Benefits that Nancy Pelosi wants passed when they have not contributed a penny into this country? They work here,use our schools, doctors, hospital emergency rooms and they don't pay any payroll taxes or pay into any government plan! They send most of the money they earn HERE back to their countries? Pesident Obama wake up! United states Citizens wake up!

      I could not agree more!! I think illegal entitlements are what is breaking the back of this country! I have known plenty of illegals that think they are owed something from the U.S. They don't even try to speak our language, they expect to get free education (where we have to pay for ESL teachers at the expense of our own legal, english speaking kids), They infest our hospitals with their FREE healthcare that we invariably end up paying for (Thanks to idiot Bush and other presidents that told illegals 'just go to the emergency rooms...')...Now Obama wants to give them free health care? Incidentally, Congress, nor the President will give up their health care plans to "enjoy" the health care plan they are jamming down our throats! There is something fundamentally wrong with this picture! How on earth does a 1000 page health care plan even get considered?!?!?

        I don't agree with your comments. 1. Many, many of these illegals pay taxes like anyone else. Maybe you didn't know that. 2) There is no law about if, when or how fast they or anyone learns "our" language. 3. There have always been many people who are in transition to English, some fast, some slow; Possibly including some from your own family. I don't think it's reasonable to disparage all. So many are here because they see opportunity here-maybe not to be doctors or lawyers but to earn some money.  I work in agriculture and I will assure you that many work like crazy 10+ hrs a day for minimum wage (5-10x the rate in Mex). I voted for "our" President and he still represents me. What you write makes you look ignorant and narrow-minded. Maybe you didn't know that either.
