I know the money crunch all to well. And it REALLY boils my blood knowing all those ILLEGALS that were in teh hospital popping out anchor babies when my wife gave birth were covered 100%, meanwhile we ended up shelling out close to $10K last year for medical even with her platinum lined Blue Cross state policy.

No, using "Jose" is what makes it racist. Use Joe or Bob or Bill or John or whatever generic name you want and I'm with ya all the way. Just don't use somethig that is exclusively tied to one particular race.

Look, I'm NOT condoning the actions of the illegals. If it was up to me I'd put them all in jail, make them work to pay off their debt to our society, and then ship them all back to whatever country they came from. Condoning them has never been my position. All I'm saying is that there is a huge population of legal immigrants, from the same countries that the illegals came from, that do not deserve to be lumped into the same pot with the illegal varity. Doing so is wrong. It's not being politically correct, it's just being correct. As far as the subject of voting blocks, money cuts, anchor babies, etc., etc., goes I'm with ya. I don't like it any more than you do. My wife also works for the state, and I also have seen the pay cuts just like you have. But I'm just not going to condem my friends because their names happen to be Spanish in origin. I think Hitler did that a few years ago with anyone who's name's happened to end with Stein or Berg etc. I'm not going there.
