We need to show more sympathy for these people.
* They travel miles in the heat.
* They risk their lives crossing a border.
* They don't get paid enough wages.
* They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do.
* They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language.
* They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day.
I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans ~ I'm talking about our troops! Doesn't it seem strange that many Democrats and Republicans are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops the way they should, and are even threatening to defund them?

I am all for supporting our troops. But under paid ?
Excuse me for laughing but the current base pay is $18,749.00 a year.
That figures out to $1,562.41 a month. 
When I was in the service I received $78.00 a month, which came to
$936.00 a year.

Yeah, but the Mexicans aren't here killing for oil though...not to my knowledge. Not to say two wrongs make a right.
Is it me or has my ass gotten hotter?

Green thangy. Great post, but it's not totally the Dems and Repubs......
Google the 1982 Supreme Court cast, Plyler V. Doe
I blame Judges that do not understand what the word 'is', is.
The author of the Equal Protection clause was very clear in many letters,
that the 14th Amendment does not apply to foreign nationals.
More of your Tax dollars are spent to feed, clothe, educate and house
illegals, than is spent on Afganistan and Iraq.

$78 a month?? HA!!! I made more than you did! I was paid $84 per month, which added up to $1,008.00 per year!
Hey... did we have to pay taxes on that? I don't remember- would be just like the IRS to do that though!!!
