Those children that the governor is cutting aid for are U.S. Citizens.
If we're going to get rid of birth right citizenship then it would only be fair if we went through all the records to find out if your grandparents came here as immigrants, and if they did, then we should also revoke your citizenship as you did not inherit your citizenship because your ancestors came here as immigrants.
I think this would greatly reduce the burden on our infrastructure, hospitals and welfareedit on 1/22/2012 by muse7 because: (no reason given)

But Rush implicated the Obamanomics as creating more dependence on welfare with his policies.
Didn't Rush say about a year ago he would rather the US fail, then be under a Obama rule?
So safe to say what his word is worth!!
I know this may be hard for some to grasp, but Presidents, Dem and GOP, do not induce polices to hurt the populace.
At times in our Global Economy , things are happening at a grander scale that despite polices, things do get worse.
I'm not at all surprised by this response from you based on your posts I've read recently elsewhere.
Are you disputing the point because you have so much hate for Rush? Are you going to not look at the statistics just because it was on Rush's show?
Are you trying to say that Presidents and both parties really care about all of us and therefore all that is happening is just some bizarre freak of global economy?
I believe that is an attempt to explain away the effects of One World govt policies made by Internationalists and the UN as being just an odd anomaly. Will it be fixed as oddly and spontaneously as well?
Are you an advocate of the Free market or an advocate of Statism and centralized planning?edit on 22-1-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)

You honestly see the quote above as a shot to your character?
And France was just 1 of 17 countries down graded, as I said, global troubles.
Man-made boundaries and hatred and subjugation and corruption are useless

...Just who do these people think they are? We stole this country fair and square. Our forefathers came over boat by boat and ship by ship to this land. They slaughtered scores of native Americans by introducing them to the business end of the firearms that they brought with them. They desecrated those heathen savages in every way possible, many times raping their women and killing their children until there was nothing left of them and leaving them nothing. Not even their pride. We stole this land fair and square right?
Our fore fathers brought slaves over from Africa. Ship by ship and boat by boat, cleared farm land, planted food and cotton with the aforementioned slave labor. They built this country on that stolen land and made it in to what it is today and that is something we can all be proud of right?
You can tell that I have mixed feelings about this. As a young man I thought I had seen poverty in America. I thought I knew what poverty was. I’d seen homeless people before. Not a lot, but I’d seen them. I didn’t know # [jacksquat from my own nose]
I strayed a little farther past the outskirts of town than most Americans travel and that is where I saw true poverty. I saw true fear, hunger and despair in the eyes of innocent children. I saw an old woman in her 70s holding a baby in one hand and a tin cup begging for coins in the other while her daughter and grand daughter were trying to hawk up some business in the whorehouse a few doors down the street. These people’s best days don’t even come close to our worst. I sympathize and empathize with them. I’ve seen how they live and I can understand their desperation. I understand why they are willing to risk their lives to cross our border to make a few dollars an hour picking beans and chilies on our farms. I hold no animosity toward these people at all. They are just people, who are a lot worse off than we are, trying to survive.
Having said all that, do I feel that they deserve a free ticket to the US? I don’t know. I don’t know that I even deserve to be here. I don’t know that you deserve to be here either. If I steal your car like our great great grandparents stole this land, do I deserve to keep it just because I have a bigger gun? Is posession really nine tenths of the law?
Don't we owe it to the children of the world to help solve this mess?
These are tuff economic times, not only in this country, but world wide. Does anyone really think that a laid off GM worker is going to pick lima beans for three or four dollars an hour? Who’s jobs are they really taking or are they actually doing work that Americans are to fat and spoiled to do?
I have no answers on this. I feel sorry for the rancher whose land and belongings are being ravaged and vandalized by these people. I feel sorry for the Mexicans because I’ve seen the horror they are trying to escape. I feel sorry for the Americans who feel they deserve the luxury of $5 cups of Starbucks coffee just because their forefathers sodomized the native American culture. I feel sorry. I feel sorry that I’m somehow part of it and I don’t have the answers. I am sorry.
I think it's great that their benefits have been cut, maybe then it would go to someone who is an actual citizen who needs the help.
In fact you completely disregard the entire point made by Rush and consequently by me, that under Obamanomics, that many people are on food stamps. Thus any one who happens to be out of work, illegal or not, are struggling.

I agree with your points about how bad a situation it is for these people, and how they are coming to this country out of desperation. However, my question to you is why is it right for them to dump their problems onto U.S. citizens? If they were in such a destitute situation, I would think the only logical thing, if they cared about their family so much, would be to not have children in the first place! What right do they have to come to a foreign country, have a child, and then demand that every citizen of said foreign country takes care of their children? I hope other states follow Kansas' lead on this issue.

If you want illegal mexican immigrants to stop jumping borders to the U.S., you make mexico safe for their people and help them build their economy to maximize their potential. The root of their problems are the massive amounts of drug cartels that terrorize the people for power and wealth. After you take down the drug cartels...
...you stabilize their government and ...
