Brett let me just say that I have experience working in a field in which I often heard conversations between White Americans talking about how they are taking advantage of the system. My point to you Brett is why did you call on everyone to take an assume name and that this name should be Spanish Sounding? That is a racial statement.

Brett read what you wrote: "We can give ourselves Spanish sounding names" Why did you say that? Is it only people with Spanish sounding names who abuse the system or are hear illegally? You told me to get out more, so I answered you by saying lets compare our passports because as you know being the world traveler that you are that our passports will show all the places that we have been. Keep up Brett!

Brett please explain this comment: "I think we should all line up at the HHS building and demand free services. We can give ourselves Spanish sounding names, make believe offspring, and ficticious income sources. We could then receive housing allowances, food, and most importantly MEDICAL coverage that many Americans so covet" I will gladly lay my Passport on the table to compare to yours buddy! You want to try and tell us that you are not make racial assumptions here? Hey buddy these are your words.

We need to do like the middle eastern countries do, catch them as soon as they step a toe over the border, lock them up and never let their families hear from them for many years. Nobody wants to sneak across those countries borders because of that. Let's do this here. If they can catch some kids "hiking" and accidentally crossing the border, why can't we catch the ones coming here? Make it heck for them instead of heaven and they won't want to come here so eagerly. I'm sure it's spread every where in the southern countries that if they come here, they can get all this stuff free and still work. Enough is enough, let's get tough on them, not just round em up, give a finger shaking and send them home so they can come back again. Did any of you read the gang round up the other day? 466 were caught and only 110 were USA citizens.
