The difference is, our ancestors came here legally, learned english, became citizens, and WORKED to provide for themselves and their families. There were no food stamps, no free medical assistance and no HUD--WE haven''t forgotten, our government hasn''t forgotten either, they are looking for "legal" slave labor for their corporate friends.

I wonder how many OTHER countries give REBATES to citizens that are legal immigrants in that country?

This is not the first time we have gotten a rebate. Maybe it will come again. When it does perhaps this couple will get the full thing. It is unfortunate for them but, that is part of the game when you marry outside of your country. I know in OTHER countries if you want to marry and stay in that country there is a very lengthy waiting period in which you may or may not be granted permission ever.

America started this whole immigration problem the day they instituted "Press 1 for English." What does that tell you? It says come one, come all, we''ll adjust our American ways to cater to the masses from another country. It''s not so much that people from other countries live here, but the fact that we don''t require them to really BE American. It is all well and good to stand the moral high ground...but at what cost?

Do you all realize WHERE this "rebate" money is coming from? Our GOOD ole FRIENDs from CHINA, that''s where!!

Personally, I don''t even WANT it, no matter HOW much I NEED it!!

Racists....The true nature of America.

It''s a d*mn Shame.

The ones we should blame are the greedy corporations who give our jobs to foreigners. They ship all the jobs they can overseas and give what''s left to foreigners.

If all the jobs that went to China over the last ten years had gone to Mexico, maybe there wouldn''t be an Illegal immigration problem!

Wake up America! It''s not the fault of the foreigners, it''s the fault of our own Corporations and Politicians who have sold us out.

The waters that brought them to America, will take them back to where they come from! Don''t like the facts, go home.

We need to be more concerned with the elder United States citizens and NOT the ILLEGAL immigrants. Our elders have worked and paid taxes their whole life. It highly upsets me, our government seems more concerned with ILLEGALS over the backbone of this country.

Well for those who count their chickens before they hatch, DON''T! I am NOT relying on anything. It all sounds good but you will not know what you "may" get until it arrives, if at all. Plus, don''t moan about it. geesh!
