I call all of this the "fat, dumb, and, happy" syndrome. As long as it doesn't affect people directly, they don't care what happens, until it's too late. This has been going on for years now, in a lot of administrations, but like I said, if it doesn't affect them, they don't care or want to know. I certainly hope that the state is not paying for any of these stays, that to me would be taxation, without representation. A subject like this affects me directly. I came to this country on a visa, I became a citizen, and I enlisted in the military during the Vietnam War. I don't hear anyone wanting to cross the border to join our military to defend this country, all anyone wants is the benefits, that only some of us, have earned. So, as a humanitarian, I am willing to give people a chance to prove themselves, to find work, to pay taxes, to pay rent, or buy a house. I'm just curious how much of our tax money is sent as "Aid" to these countries, and now it's costing us another 3.7 trillion dollars. Money that should be spent here in this country. If I were the governor, nothing or no one would stop me to see what I wanted in my own state, to talk to who I wanted to, and to take as many pictures as I wanted.
