This topic was on the radio today about civil rights groups lobbying to give the illegal immigrants (mainly mexicans) drivers licenses and healthcare benefits.
This is the most obsurd thing I have ever heard. First they are here ILLEGALLY...so why should my taxes go towards their benefits. Secondly...how are you going to give a illegal immigrant a government issued ID card and let them drive? I mean come on, that is idiotic! This is what I propose...tell the country that all illegals are allowed to sign up for these benefits, then when they show for the paperwork, arrest them and deport. Simple. They have no business in this country illegally, and therefore the only thing they should get is a escort back to their own country. If they want to come here that bad..do it the legal way. This is a country based on laws, so why should the gov't reward them for breaking it? Can I go to mexico and get a drivers license, healthcare and other gov't benefits? Heck no I couldn't, so why should it be any different for them? We need to do something about this problem, because its only going to get worse.
