It's messed up to assume that just because someone's speaking another language means they're illegal aliens or something. Also, not everyone that dresses nice is rich... sometimes bad things happen and people get down on their luck and need a helping hand. Try visiting a shelter or a food donation center sometime, you might be surprised at what type of people show up and why they're actually there. How can you judge anyone without having a clue,just because they don't speak English does'nt mean they were not born here.Lately I've been reading a lot of this crap...who in the hell made us perfect to judge anyone Are you mad at me for saying this? I said the same thing you did.. lol

Who really cares where they were born, to make it in america you must speak english. If kids are learning another lang then there prob not here legally. Birthright for non citizens is messed up.

Lets not forget that anyone here not legally is a criminal. But...if you are here not legally, you have committed a crime. It's not legal.

Welfare is for the poor, if you can buy nice clothes then you can buy food. Food, shelter, & clothes then everything else. They might have been not as whell off because they cant speak english. Nice clothes can be bought at second-hand stores and yard sales.

Bottom line to me with WHERE we are going as a country,,, We put MORE desire in making money than we put into having FAMILY time. We have become a TWO house-hold income marrage. both need to work in order to HAVE what we need... And MONEY is EVERYTHING,,,OVER ALL VALUES, WANTS, NEEDS, to live here, and to survive here, YOU BETTER HAVE MONEY. But who cares if you pay-back 300,000 for the house you bought for 100,000,,,,NO-ONE,,,THATS AMERICA..

So let me see if I have this right, if you have food stamps and don't speak English, you are an illegal immigrant, is that correct? What kind of idiotic, lame and very judgmental assumption is that?! Not to mention, ignorant! Get over yourselves! I'm so tired of people berating others because of where they come from. So what if they have food stamps? Do you know the circumstances that brought them to that grocery store where you work? Automatically that makes them "illegal"?? Just like that? I know that there are people who do take advantage of the "system" and they do it without remorse, but guess what? They are citizens of the United States! What? Not just illegal immigrants??? I work for the government, give me a break! I see ALL kinds of people who "milk" the system. Sure, some happen to be here illegally, but some happen to be here very legally and they are the ones who take, and take and take and don't work even though they are very capable of doing so! So don't just lump them all as being "illegals" that's crap! What if I were to judge some of you soley on the basis of your spelling?!! There are some horrendous grammar and spelling errors that were posted on this topic, would you like it if I judged you for that?

Yes I would Your right lots of people abuse the system, I've never taken a cent from the government. A firm beleiver in self-responsiblity/respect.
