    Can you find any honest politiciaon in USA? I have not come across one yet. they keep talking about immigration and immigrant worker. None of them really interested in solving the problem. republican millionaire want cheap lobour and poor democrat want them out and do not want to work for little money. Republican cry foul about immigrant childern getting edjucation. They want them ignorent and unedjucated so they can have cheap labour. If middle east arab who got sand in there head insted of brain can solve there lobour problem with guest worker, why can”t we do it.

    Perry calls people who don’t want to sponsor education for children of illegals “heartless”. What does he call people who don’t want to sponsor education for children of American citizens? Republicans
    When are we going to stop giving preferential treatment to immigrants over American citizens? Immigrants (illegal and legal) can get loans for housing, business, and education over citizens. Republicans want to eliminate any social benefit for citizens (education, Pell Grants, health care, Medicaid, Medicare, Head Start, WIC, jobs) because of the cost. Yet, at the same time are giving it away to illegals and call people “heartless” if they don’t agree to it. Want to save some money – stop giving it away to those who were never meant to get it.
