Good point. I would say any legally documented person is entitled to all the rights the other people have

.....as they should be but other than that,no.

I agree.

I'm fairly certain there are more Americans that contribute nothing to society that collect welfare than illegal aliens.

Hello; You are correct. I know of a few personally here in Tennessee.

i dont understand how a non citizen is able to collect public assistance.

Hello; Nor do I. I do not know any for sure myself but have seen some TV stories with such claims. There was a discussion on C-Span some days ago. Seems there are some illegals/aliens/refugees that get a pretty decent package of benefits. I do not understand it either as there are homeless citizens who appear to get less help from the government.

I have no problem with but the lamestream purposely misuses that word,if one is illegal that person is not an immigrant but is an alien.

Hello; I agree with you on this. They come up with terms like "undocumented" in place of illegal or other more correct terms.

Still not sure why this isnt a more widely discussed aspecr of the whole debate.

Hello; My suspicion being that the larger part of the media has had a big control of the illegal discussion and has chosen to downplay it and spin it. Perhaps with the current changes in our leadership those of us with a different view will get some say so??

I do think welfare should be gone through and modified heavily to prevent freeloaders, aliens or not.

Hello; I agree with you on this. Some reforms have been tried a few times but with limited success. There is a very large population on some sort of government benefits. I guess I am included being on a state pension as a retired teacher. I may not be classified as a freeloader as I put in over three decades.

If you were to just up move to another country just because you don't like the way things are here you would be thrown in jail.

Hello; This sounds right.

grinds my gears is how the legions of illegals that are here have the nerve to march and protest for rights.

Hello; This grinds what few gears I have left as well.

any legally documented person is entitled to all the rights the other people have

Hello; I can go with some basic rights, but not all the rights of a citizen. As already mentioned those here illegally should not get welfare type aid nor be able to vote. There may be other rights that should be denied to non-citizens.

What's this?

What's this?

Apparently shortly after Tom Brady led his team to Superbowl victory someone in the locker room snatched the jersey that he wore during the game.
The Texas Rangers are said to be looking into it.
