I get it that people can often find a better life in America. My problem is that many of them get that better life being supported by our government....thus the taxpayers. It's painful enough to pay the taxes we pay......it's even more painful to see that money spent that way. We have PLENTY of homeless Vets, plenty of other homeless due to bad fortune rather than drugs. I really think that money should be spent there FIRST. You wouldn't feed your neighbors & watch your family starve. If you do come to this country, come legally. Work hard, learn OUR language, retain your culture, heritage & history but adapt to & accept our culture. There is a reason it's better here......KEEP IT THAT WAY. Never forget the opportunity presented to you & strive to be part of that. There is a difference between the immigrants of the 1800's & a lot of the current ones. Taking advantage of an opportunity is vastly different than taking advantage. We are all byproducts of the first wave of immigrants & we/they built this country. I don't see that type of pride & fortitude in a lot of what's coming now.
