Amen

It's best not to underestimate the total damage that's been done to our
country by allowing illegal aliens to abuse our medical system. Someone
has to pay for this abuse. Bottom line, we ALL do. The hospitals jack up
their rates to compensate...insurance companies jack up their
rates...employers are forced to pay exhorbinant premiums or send the
work out of the country...a vicious spiral. It costs us jobs and lowers
our mean standard of living.

And what has GWB's response been? Cut Medicaid instead of addressing the
real issue of illegal immigration.

The truth is GWB is a "cheap labor conservative", he does not want to stem
the flow of cheap labor into this country - in fact he called the volunteer
Minute men "Vigilantes". He wants "high priced" American workers to have
compete with illegal aliens for jobs. You are right this will definitely
lower our standard of living.

The biggest threat is from terrorists just walking across the border with a
dirty bomb on their back - it is only a mattter of time!
