11Alive.com | Politics - Ga. Convention Looks at Immigration

The Georgia Republican Convention on Saturday was supposed to be a showcase of unity after a bruising legislative session.

Since our senators are so eager to vote for this bill could they please tell me; why we are reading about trauma centers having to be closed? Who pays for emergency care for all these millions of people? Who pays when they drive without insurance and cause accidents? In the midst of a drought, where are we going to find enough water? Where is the money going to come from to pay for all the babies they are having,(with instant citizenship)? And who will pay for all the crimes the illegal felons are committing? The average American is paying, not the senators! Money always talks and apparently our senators, Congressmen,
"Representatives", and Bush think money is more important than standing up for the rights of bonified Americans!

Enforcing present immigration laws will solve the problem. We have the technology to register every single illegal alien in this country. Big business may get cheaper labor, but the taxpayer is paying for health,education and crime of illegals.
To GRANT citizenship/amnesty to millions of Hispanics, many belligerant and angry, who consider that they are RETAKING THEIR COUNTRY is asking for future civil strife and unrest.

Now that amnesty has been temporarily shelved, it is time to consider disengagement from both of the major parties! We citizens feel betrayed by both of them. Neither party is interested in what the average taxpayer feels, or they wouldn't have tried to ram this stupid bill down our throats to begin with. Big business and corrupt politicians are only interested in lining THEIR pockets. Just google "illegal immigration" and see how many disgruntled people there really are. Go to Firesociety, NumbersUSA, Townhall and eaglescourier.com to name a few. We don't have the government and big business lobbies funding our every move like the illegal aliens have. It isn't a coincidence! I agree with Jj s rocca that civil strife is bound to occur if illegals keep pushing for "their" rights in "our" country. Why don't they change their own country? We do not want to become a third world country!
