Its time America to put our own people first.We can not help the world if we can not,do not help our own people
first,last and always.We MUST take care of our own.
That article is a disgrace to this great nation.No one should be hungry or homeless in the mist of plenty.
Whats wrong with our government that wont close our
borders and deport the illegal aliens,as a way to secure jobs for theses poor Americans.

Easy. Take a page from Jesus-lore, and teach people to help themselves. Have them learn about farming, sanitation, and so forth 'on the internets'...help people to help themselves...in Mexico, in the US, anywhere. I don't think there should be any illegal aliens working in the US as long as there's homeless people that could use a job and a paycheck and something to eat...

Claim to the oil companies, those companies are now stealing a lot of money from Iraq's oil, they can help all the world.
So you must know about the politicians and the companies are cheating your people.
Your government every year applies more and more taxes, oil companies get more and more money they don't give any cent to the people.
So communicate to the other people this news.

I wonder if illegal immigration is increasing our problem with homelessness. How many of these people lost opportunities for jobs or assistance because the illegals were given preferential treatment?

I feel that our own people should definitely come first. But we are trying to show the rest of the world that we can help, even if we are incapable of doing so without consequences.

I totally agree with you, Hurricane Katrina was a perfect example to show the world the amount of poverty that is taking place in America today.

VALID POINT!!!
When I first started posting here (months ago)......my main concern and actually the reason I kinda hung around was BECAUSE I was trying to point out "WHY are we spending BILLIONS on illegal immigration?.....instead of spending BILLIONS on getting people off the rolls, building affordable housing, finding jobs and affordable healthcare."
That got clouded along the way......BUT......my main concern has always been "LETS direct the MONEY THIS WAY......not that way!"
My first answer EVER in immigration was "lets fix us and then work on fixing this". I don't know if "fighting illegal immigration" will help that........doesn't seem to be so far.
Just my spin.

I am with you. I like the way that you think. We should ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN FIRST.
