Wes,
Mexico is not a state and is a different country as is all of the others where the immigrants pour into the U.S from. As for the Okie comparison, that is way off. For one thing they were looking for work, not free handouts and were treated like dirt. They also spoke English and never demanded the country change it's language and customs to theirs. Go into any of the few clinics left here now and all you will find is illegals getting treated while any citizen sits there all day and is ignored. Everything must have a label on it that is in at least 4 languages.
The other thing is that this country is only so big and only has so many people to pay taxes to care for these free loaders. Our economy is as bad or worse than any other in the world and you think we should just keep taking care of these people? If they want to go through the process to become citizens, which used to require they learn our language, then I have no objection.If they can have free drivers licenses and citizens can't then why do you wonder why people are getting tired of this crap?
