Dems complete election sweep of Congress Options

[joker]

WASHINGTON - Democrats completed an improbable double-barreled election sweep of Congress on Wednesday, taking control of the Senate with a victory in Virginia as they padded their day-old majority in the House.

The illegal immigrant issue isn't just about jobs... that's a small part of it. It's about taxes, health care, crime, gangs, reaping what's mine. Why should I work my ass off for 40+ years and pay taxes so Juan can get free money? Why should I pay my hospital bill when Julio doesn't have to? I'm all for immigration, we all came from somewhere.... but I'm sure majority of our families did it legally and we contribute to the country. All I see right now is MS13, a lot of jobless guys hanging out at 7-11, and a lot of crime. Ofcourse Mexico and other south american countries don't care because.... imagine if all the homeless, jobless, drug dealers, crime lords, and gang members want to relocate to Canada. Would we stop them? NO. So this whole thing is improving the Mexican econony while destroying ours.

Also, I hate the "they're just here to work and support their families" statements. It's like saying it's okay to be a drug dealer to little kids cause you're just trying to support your family. Now I'm sure there are a lot of "good" people that are coming over here illegally, but there are also a lot of "bad" ones that aren't registered. We try so hard to keep sex offenders registered in a database to protect people, yet we don't seem to mind the same kind of people coming across our borders to escape similar or worse crimes.

I'm not anti-Dem... I just wish they'd help solve the problems instead of putting the blinders on and wearing the heart on the sleeve for more votes. The Dems won because of Iraq. I don't know what their plans are, but we can't just pull out. Rebuilding Iraq and forming a democracy in the middle east is our goal. It makes it a lot easier to take down Iran and Syria, if needed. I'm interested to see how this all plays out in the next year.
