One hundred percent agreement on your last paragraph there. Absolutely
outrageous that OUR CITIZENS are secondary to immigrant "needs".
I have to believe that some of the garbage being thrown around about
this is exactly what you were describing in regards to FEMA/CBP/DHS
being used sort of interchangeably when they really shouldn't be. I'm
hoping that "extra" money being spent on (illegal) immigrants is not
coming from the same pot of money as the benefits meant for our
hurricane victims.
Thanks for the reply and the info!
... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
