Sorry, but it isn't just the vets and homeless that our Congress and government agencies favor the i******s over. Foreign noncitizens, both legals and i******s, are given the rights and benefits of actual citizens but more so. Have any of you read about the new group of Somalian refugees/asylees given housing first, ahead of the hundreds of US citizens on waiting lists for the housing. Just one example. Refugees and asylees are signed up for all welfare services plus cash as soon as they arrive, no applying for them, no waiting, and no denials for these foreign noncitizens when it wotkd very differently for citizens. There should be no doubts in any thinking person's mind today that our Congress no longer represents ordinary American citizens, but, instead, only look out for the best interests of themselves, the big corporations that help them increase their power and bank accounts AND foreigners, legal and illegal, refugee and asylee and temporary status like TPS, VISA overstays, and other categories we don't even know about. Just think about it. We have no REAL factual information about foreigners in our country. How many foreigners here legally (a million plus annually for decades) have actually become US citizens? How many of these legal immigrant noncitizens get any welfare service? How many of the legal immigrants, period, get free medical care through our hospitals/clinics? How many legal foreigners are receiving our Social Security/Medicare? How many of the foreign noncitizens, legal or illegal, file income taxes annually using all possible credits and receive big refunds? Remember the IRS has tried defending this to Congress. We know an estimated 400,000 anchor babies are born annually to i*****l a***ns and that for each pregnancy, birth and aftercare for mother and child, they pay not one dime, all medical costs paid by American taxpayers. Now, it has been 60 years since I gave birth, but maybe some of you can estimate the cost of each of these pregnancies/births and multiply by 400 000 ( remember some pregnancies/births are complicated and much more costly. And this does not include any such pregnancies/births in the legal immigrant noncitizen group or the refugees, asylees, TPS, etc.

I've talked about this before.
I took care of a vet that had been in three theaters of war.
He was in a nursing for a time. It was impossible to leave him there.
He made too much for Medicaid to take over and not enough for a VA home.
It would infuriate me to see people in the hall that I know came illegally and were getting a free ride .
