Commentary

I would definitely have to agree [with this post]! But I must say that some of the cost is a bit offset by those that do pay into our government tax programs such as social security and never actually get a pay out. What really irks me though is those that never pay into it yet find a way to milk social security at a younger age off of someone else's number. There is a gentleman at my workplace that recently completed the process to become an official citizen and as of yesterday can now call himself an American. After studying our history, taking an exam and paying a few thousand dollars, he passed with flying colors. He learned our language and holds his own just as the rest of us that were born here. Why can't those who sneak in, don't contribute, look for a free ride, at least learn the language? Oh and on top of that, bring extra crime and costs while taking jobs? Good topic! While so many criticize the wall, I think it is definitely an inexpensive start to helping our economy getting back to what it used to be!
