It's a fact, not myth. They can not receive any kind of public assistance, in fact can not even receive assistance from the Salvation Army, as they have the same requirements as the Federal Government. Illegal means no government issued ID, and no Social Security number...without both of those, they can not receive assistance of any kind. Many have been circumventing the requirements for many years.The country they want to immigrate TO gets to choose them. Not if they enter the country illegally.And everything I have heard has been negative towards anyone from Mexico coming here. A baseless accusation that tries to imply racism.As for the freedoms...I guess we need to tear down that plaque on the Statue of Liberty, since the sayings there no longer apply. The plaque refers to 'legal' immigration.If you are from any middle eastern country there is no lottery system. Only Latin Americans are hampered with this....even though they are not threats to the US. A stupid system that I already told you I'm not in favor of. At the same time, we are not required to bend to your wishes no matter how unfair you think it is.People from Mexico only constitute around 58% of all illegals in the US, All the rest are a much smaller percentage, aren't they? There should be NO illegals in the country.the Right jumps and says "Mexican", like a knee jerk reaction. You won't get anywhere by accusing us of being racists. Mexicans are the largest group of illegals by your own words. Why shouldn't the largest group get the most attention? Your attempt at political correctness is tiring.Did you now that the numbers of illegals from Mexico has dropped by almost 28% since 2007? Not enough. There should be NO illegals.Or that the number of illegals from India has risen 125%? From 100 to 225 eh? How many gangs are they running here? How much in illegal drugs are they bringing in? What's their percentage of crime per illegal immigrant? By the way, the accurate term for "illegal immigrant" is "invader".Those from India are the ones taking high paying jobs in Engineering and Information Technology... All of which helps to create even more jobs and makes our country stronger.and yet everyone is being led to point at the maids, landscapers and waitresses because they are from Mexico. That's because they don't understand that those workers actually help create more jobs. Only the illegals/invaders are a problem.NOW do you understand where the racism from the Right comes in? I understand that the race bating that you engage in is the most ugly, dangerous form of racism.Rest assured, none of the ones from Mexico come here to get "free stuff" and they couldn't even if they wanted it. A blatantly false assertion. You'd do better to approach this subject in a more honest way.The society they come from is not Socialist, and they are taught from the time they can walk that they have to work and earn whatever they want. Another false assertion. Mexico is a socialist country. Look it up on the freedom scale. As you can see, the date of its founding predates the founding of the United States by well over 200 years...as well as predating the English settling of the East Coast. So you believe that age relates to quality?? What you propose and agree to is extremely fair...and in fact all people here from Mexico have been asking for. Another load of BS. Many Mexicans want to go to war with the US to take over the SW US. They also want free health care and food stamps. Many come here illegally, demand free stuff and wave the Mexican flag in our faces. Please don't pretend it doesn't happen. It's been in the news many times.What they take issue to is the racism they are subject to...and this is not a modern thing either. I don't think you have a good understand of what racism is. You've already made a false claim of racism on this thread. Or at least you alluded to it.and singling out one ethnicity for retribution I don't know anyone who does this. Yes, it does happen sometimes, but my point is that it's rare. Your problem is that you see racism where there is often none. You don't know what racism is. If you do, tell me.
