(One often doesn't know if one's words are ever read!) You and I, alas, will never agree on certain points. You say, what if a family HAS TO enter another country illegally and work in order to survive? I say, there are millions of people in that situation around the world, and they can't ALL be allowed into the US, Canada, Sweden, or England, as they seem to want, can they? You say, they have to be given free medical care if they are here. Well, pardon my French, #$%^#@! I don't get free or employer-paid medical care in my line of work, and I can't afford insurance, so I have to hope to heaven that I don't need to see a doctor. When I worked in Europe, I lived in some countries that had national health care, and IF I had a work permit, I could see a doctor free. You say, should we just tighten the borders? It sounds as if you are referring to Mexico. Sylvan, I lived in Mexico many years ago and I have a sentimental link to that country, its culture and its people. But I don't think we can solve Mexico's problems by inviting everyone to come here. Mexico controlling its population growth would be a start to a solution. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
