I was rather impressed last night by the Green candidate, who was the only one with the courage to speak up and say that we shouldn't be rewarding these people for coming into this country illegally. Of course, the other candidates were too afraid of offending the Latin community in CA to say anything about it (for those of you who don't know, the percentage of caucasians in CA has dropped below 50%. Now we get to have our own television network and bitch about all the other races ).
I think it's bullcrap that they should get two years of community college for free when they broke our laws in the first place. They have better benefits than the white citizens already living here! I admit, CC's aren't too expensive (the local one here is like 12 bucks a unit), but I'm not too clear as to what the "free" means- if it includes housing (doubtful) or other stuff.
Also, the issue of illegal aliens getting Driver's Licenses makes me mad too. While I can see that they need to drive in some cases, we are still making allowances for their illegal actions. My friend got rear-ended by a Mexican who was driving a Semi (in a Dodge Caravan... it's about 2 feet shorter in length now). He didn't speak English, he didn't have a license, he didn't have insurance, and he got out and yelled at my friend in Spanish until the cops came. This is becoming a problem, I say.
On another topic, why should we have a socialized health care system? The way that I see it, our competitive hospital system has produced some of the greatest medical advances in the world. If we go to a state run institution, and doctors are paid less (as you know they will be if the gov't takes over), then where is the initiative for new students to become doctors? Why would any doctor want to do his job better than any other, if they're all getting paid the same? Where would the competition for the best hospitals go? Out the window, I say. If Arianna Huffington wants to have a state-run healthcare system, she should move to Canada (they have it, don't they?)
Anyway, my rant is over. Post your own!
