This is why illegal immigration is costing us so much money. Rewarding people for criminal activity is NOT the solution:

Please take this post off of your site because it sends off racist sentiments that can be misconstrued. I'm sure you are not racist, but "Jose Illegal" unintentionally stereotypes the vast majority of Hispanics in our country that have come to the US legally.
I'll make a deal with you. When the vast majority of Hispanics who came here legally join us in protesting illegal immigrants and the proposed amnesty for illegal aliens as well as demanding that those here illegally get deported back to their countries of origin, I'll take this post down.
