Giving toys to kids isn't being abnormally materialistic. They are just kids, kids need to be kids.

Even American kids deserve toys. Taking it too far is when you buy a 10yrold a cell phone and all the xbox games IMHO.

it's not the child's fault that their parents broke a law.

No it isn't the kid's fault but it is their parents that are groveling for every free handout they can get including donated toys and food. I happen to know this as fact. That is all the less that will go to poor American families and kids.

you are right on that but this isn't the cartoons where one lays out trip wires and snares to prevent others getting in line either.

When the Salvation Army opens up wake up early and get going.

Even if only citizens were to get these toys some won't because there wasn't enough to begin with.

So, with illegal aliens receiving them that is that much more less that a citizen won't get. This isn't rocket science, you know.

This isn't about me personally. I have no young kids at home anymore but I know many poor Americans who do.
