I too have no problem at all with legal immigrants where ever they are from as long as they play and pay by the same rules and speak english like the rest of us and no special programs..On our elected officials issue I have to say that its all part of the slimy bottom feeder world they live in..they are all lawyers and make unethicial deals every day to get this or that bill passed that makes them popular at the expense of important programs that as a result go unfunded. After Vietnam I went to Law School under the GI bill but got fed up with the left wing BS and quit after a year to join the DEA. In law school you learn how to technically manipulate the system,sway juries, plea bargin, jury shop, judge shop intimidate cops and witnesses, frighten victims of violent crimes while all along they know their clients are 100% guilty and have probably committed numerous other violent crimes. As a result justice is held hostage by the law and the best actor wins and when they get into elected positions like senators and c >:(ongressmen they continue this behavior to stay in office forever. They are trained to be pathalogicial liars ..Frank
