#1 Sometimes fee money has been diverted for things like detention centers.

Buried near the bottom, how illegals screw those attempting to do it legally.

#2 "Yes, but let's not make it too difficult. The people who immigrated here legally and now want to be citizens are great people, and we should be proud that they want to be one of us."

WRONG. They've been allowed to immigrate under far too lenient criteria. Since we don't need any more people, the ones we do allow to come should come with qualifications and capital that will be of real use to the country. Most of the legal immigrants coming now are off-quota family reunification immigrants. Just because they're related to someone who got in earlier should not automatically allow them to come also. For example, it does us absolutely no good to allow some guy's aged parents to immigrate if the first thing that happens is for the citizen to sign them up for old age assistance. The family reunification quota exemptions have burdened us with a LOT of underqualified welfare cases. Ask any West Coast or Fla Social Security worker.

#3 Bluetooth, I must say I find your comments pretty darned repugnant.

I have no problem whatsoever allowing families to stay together. This country was built on families. Having Mom and Pops come over after Sonny has made it good is wonderful incentive for Sonny to become a productive citizen.

We've been allowing families to come over for a couple hundred years. I'd be interested in knowing how much of your family came over on the boat, and how many followed after Great-great-great-great-grand Uncle Jomosing wrote a letter back to the old country.

#4 I like hard working immigrants. I don't like free loaders. Our laws have been changed to make it easier to be a freeloader. That's a problem.

#5 SW - agreed as long as those entering can pay for themselves (with or without family help). It is not our responsibility to pay for the future medical treatment or retirement of foreign citizens related downstream to naturalized citizens, izzit?

#6 Generally speaking The Health Care System is on or near the brink of failure everywhere along our Southern Border.

As the strain builds everywhere in the system you can accurately say that the CONTRACT between CITIZENS and our Government is breaking down and failing!

The CONTRACT has been BREACHED in many cases Dr. Steve because our Government refuses to say NO to all the illegal immigrants who have broken the law by breaking into the USA and squatting here!

Then our Licentious Government in full contempt of our hard earned taxes, Goes on a Spending SPREE with our money by casting Hundreds of Millions of Dollars on services for entire load of illegals up here.

Yes that's right, our own government steals from our Old Citizens funds which were contracted with them to go into the system for them when they retire Dr. Steve.

Here are just a few of the increased costs for us because of Illegal Immigrants. [Not counting the murders, theft, injuries, heart break and loss etc.]

Increased INS
Increased Border Guards
Increased Border Patrol
Increased Detention Centers
Increased Federal Court Cost Load
Increased State Court Cost Load
Increased Local Court Cost Load
Increased Local Jail Costs
Increased State Prison Coasts
Increased Federal Prison Coasts
Probation Costs
Parole Costs
Deportation Costs
Increased Juvenile System Costs
Increased Local Police Costs
Increased Local State Police Costs
Increased Federal Police Costs

School Costs K-12
Teachers Costs
Book Costs
Cafeteria Costs, Food Costs
School Plant and Buildings Costs
Heating, Cooling and Lighting Costs
Fuel Costs, Gasoline and Diesel Costs

College and University Costs
Medical Costs
Prenatal till Death

etc etc etc etc
