Yep, millionaire farmers in California need us to give them more help to take care of their illegal alien employees. They cost those poor taxpayers of California all kinds of money to keep them educated, fed, hospitalized and on and on but none of those millionaires think they should be responsible for any of that care.
I will argue with Ms. Coulter in that each and every one of those illegals is supposed to cost a fine of $10,000 according to the amnesty act of 1986 which is still in force. I don't think any of those people have paid even $1 per head for their illegals but they were supposed to pay $10,000. This tells me how much the laws passed by our Congress are obeyed and enforced.

I stopped reading Ann Coulter in 2012 when she decided that RINO Chris Christy was the right candidate for the Republican Presidential primary, and when he could generate no steam, instead of backing an actual conservative, she went immediately to Mitt Romney.
Below are quotes from her column with which I do, however, agree:
Quote:
"We" got hospital emergency rooms jammed with illegal aliens when we came in with heart attacks. "We" got the crime, drunk-driving and drug trafficking associated with illegal aliens. "We" got the overcrowded schools filled with kids whose illegal alien parents don't pay property taxes. "We" got to press "one" for English.
Note that the "overcrowded schools" in the quote above, "filled with children" who drastically stretch the budgets provided by legal taxpayers, and who can speak no English is a disadvantage that Rick Perry and other border state governors struggle against, as the political left criticizes them for students who fare low on the national average scale.
Quote:
According to the California Hospital Association, health care for illegal aliens is costing state taxpayers well over $1 billion a year.. Eighty-four hospitals across California have already been forced to close because of unpaid bills by illegal aliens.
The above expenditures created by our federal government's refusal to enforce our immigration laws is a main reason behind Obama's claim of a "healthcare crisis" as his excuse for jamming through the Obamacare law.
Quote:
If Mexican farm labor is so much cheaper, maybe we should be growing our fruits and vegetables in Mexico. There's absolutely no reason to import Mexicans to do something they could do at home and then sell to us. I believe this is what economists call "competitive advantage."
The budget of Mexico can no longer be considered impoverished, due in large part to the development of their oil industry.
If the millions of illegals that have descended upon the United States would stay in their own country, and demand reform, and a larger share of their own national pie, their would be no need for our schools and hospitals to be bankrupted.
Quote:
I care more about my fellow Americans who can't get well-paying jobs than I do about multimillionaire farmers, demanding that the rest of us pay to support an industry that claims it can't compete without taxpayer-subsidized illegal alien labor.
There are now 91,000,000, -
that's ninety one million legal American citizens that have left the U.S. labor force since Obama was enthroned, because they've given up looking for work.
...and still, all emphasis is on helping the illegals, rather than those who have legally invested their entire lives in supporting this nation.
