(In
the case of those who failed to comply with US immigration laws to gain admittance to the US, the picture is considerably less clear.) Why is it less clear? Infectious diseases don't discriminate, crimes of desperation occur on both sides of the fence, and acting humanely includes all people. If the picture is less clear, then it must be for other reasons. Jose -- Get high on gasoline: fly an airplane. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

I haven't fully formed an opinion about this yet, but rather than subsidizing persons who have chosen to ignore US immigration laws and thus committed a felony to gain access to this nation, it might be more reasonable to arrest them or deport them. |

It's our country - we stole it fair and square. ![]() Jose -- Get high on gasoline: fly an airplane. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Are you able to provide any examples? I don't know if ktbr can but I'll be happy to. Look at the graph next to the third paragraph. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp- dyn/content/article/2007/02/13/AR2007021301091.html I hope you're not suggesting that Social Security payments should be slashed to provide more money for the military. I didn't suggest anything of the sort. Though, I wouldn't mind having my share of the $199billion that the poor think they are entitled to back in my bank account. Have you ever stopped to consider the horrendous effect failure to provide the indigent and their dependent children with the health care and other necessities of life might precipitate? Would you rather wade through infectious derelicts as you walk to the office, read of the sharp increase in crimes of desperation, not to mention suffering the guilt of failing to act humanly toward your more unfortunate fellows? I hope you don't think there won't be unpleasant consequences if fundamental assistance weren't provided the poor. (In the case of those who failed to comply with US immigration laws to gain admittance to the US, the picture is considerably less clear.) Have you ever stopped to consider that the exponentially growing cost of providing for the indigent simply makes more people indigent? Have you ever stopped to consider that the people of the US are arguably the most charitable people in the world and we might just help these people much more cost effectively if the government didn't tax us so much. Have you ever stopped to consider that if the government is going to give these people money out of the pockets of those that actually work that it might not be a bad idea to stop motivating them to have more out of wedlock children. |

There also needs to be workfare; you only get money if you are working on some program, to the fullest of your ability. -- Jim in NC |
