I'm sorry some of you failed to see the cynicism of my question; you must be products of our public education system

Are you high or what? Our troops should have the best money can buy to protect them. The illegals can go straight to hell as far as I'm concerned. If the American public really knew what these free loaders are getting in public entitlements they have a stroke! Wonder why the taxes are so damn high, look south of the border! we pay for their medical, education, college, food, house payments or rent, free school lunches for illegals ! public assistance $$$ every month, Social Security even though they've never paid a dime into it ! thank you Ted Kennedy! Social Security won't be there for me or you because the illegals and their multitudes will have sucked it all up !
this country is going bankrupt supporting Mexico's problems, I'm damn sick of it and then there's people like you asking dumb as_ questions like this.

Our troops should have the very best. Just as they should also have better pay and better treatment and care when they are disabled. Their families should be taken care of better.
Illegal aliens think that because we are a 'free' country everything should be free. They have a sense of entitlement that our own legal citizens don't have. They have no concept of what a 'free' country means, it isn't what they think it is. Our troops fight for our country and an entirely different meaning of free, freedom.
If Iraq has taught us anything it should have taught us a country needs border security. Had Iraq had secure borders we wouldn't have had a problem with insurgents and would not have had Iran and Syria sending in their terrorists. It's a lesson that could be applied to our own country. Because we will someday have that same chaos if we don't secure our borders.

Great idea. Take all the money wasted on illegals and use it to help the troops!!
God Bless The Troops!

No! Illegals should get nothing expect a kick in rear and if they can't afford to get home then they should be made to work there trespassing off before sent back. No reason why we have unarmored troops or vehicle's and we are giving illegals hand out. We should help out all people who don't pay taxes... uhhh I think not.

The only thing we should be giving illegal aliens is a free trip back to where they came from.

Absolutely not, of course! It costs about $5,000.00 on average to locate and deport an illegal. Compared to the $500,000.00 it costs to provide social benefits to him, incarcerate that disproportionate percentage of them that commit violent crimes, etc., etc., and -- to be fair -- less the tax revenues he generates, that's still a 100-to-1 return on investment. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Umm...heck no!!!How about free healthcare and free (truely free, as in I don't have to buy boxes of tissue, crayons, glue etc...) education for American citizens first. And still investing in protective body armor for our troops and stop trying to send more weapons over to middle east.

i imagine the illegals will be demanding it soon. they're under the impression they deserve super citizen rights (with the whole translator and financial aid and etc.). they're not satisfied with just not paying taxes, among other things.

i think the better investment would be to use the illegals as human shields
operation get behind the illegal

No, you are here illegal - you have broken the law why should you received any thing except a one way ticket back to your country. I have to pay for my health care why should not everyone else.
