"Thousands of Cubans rushing the U.S. border in record numbers are being greeted with a Welcome Wagon operation the provides them with taxpayer-funded benefits including cash, a Social Security card, food stamps, and Medicaid, according to a review of the latest immigration crisis on the border. During a field trip to the Laredo, Texas crossing point, two experts from the Center for Immigration Studies documented how Cubans are provided with the services free of charge in a storefront operation set up by a Cuban immigrant, who even provides housing and schedules transportation to Miami. The door is wide open. Come and get your free stuff, is how Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies, sized it up. Center for Immigration Studies photo."
I hope they look and act quickly. Both legal immigrants and illegal aliens are coming with hands out. We cannot continue to carry all of this people. Between our own that don't want to work and these people, the few left can't carry them. With the older population passing on, who is going to be paying taxes? Not enough people to carry the rest.

You are so right it has to stop but with most candidates being in favor of amnesty how do we vote?
With Hillary or Bernie it is only going to get worse and it is the same way with the GOP candidates except Trump but he seems to be trying his hardest to blow his chances.
I am all for legal immigration but coming here illegally and getting handouts. Who came up with that idea?
The problem is when America crashes the immigrants can go back home but where do we go?
I saw this in a Brazilian community during the recession.

the father-land-- most of us not from here - and I'm an against illegal but our ancestors all came here hungry--
I know this, but it's ridiculous that just because someone comes over for whatever reason, they get on welfare, for the rest of their lives. This wet foot, dry foot bit is silly. Why can't illegals work like everyone else has to?

I read the other day that we're getting close to the tipping point, where the people on welfare are catching up to the taxpayers who are supporting their lazy butts. That's why Obama wants to stop medicare and slash mental health funding, and whatever else he can that helps the white American citizen. Well, he also wants an 18% raise, lols. He doesn't help older people, but he sure has his hand out.

I'm from here. My European ancestors came here, and built this country, established laws, and created the birth of a nation. No one else did. Only the Europeans.

Your ancestors simply settled here. They didn't "build" squat.
They are illegal. Only 20,000 Cubans are allowed to enter the country legally every year. But many other Cubans enter illegally every year. Apparently there's a fear among Cubans on the island that the newly improved relations between the US and Cuba will lead to a dismantling of the Cuban Adjustment Act. And so, thousands of them keep on coming to US, illegally.
And yes, no other nationality gets that type of special treatment once they get here.

Just stop it, please.
Except for the Aztecs and a few other Indian tribes, none of them built "squat" here either before the white man came here . Most tribes were nomads moving from place to place.
