People can get bank accounts, drivers' licenses, houses, and can even SELL DRUGS, without it haunting them for the rest of their lives.
The rest of us... crimes, bad driving record, debt.. IT FOLLOWS US FOREVER. Some have even had one night stands that left them in debt to some easy
drug addict for the rest of their lives.
So very true. Even one's school records follow them, not to mention arrests. I would be nice if I could just cross the border, get new documents,
then go back as a new person.....
I feel offended by the way Americans are held accountable for every action we make or not. PLUS the Federal Government's DEBT. You know each
American citizen owes like $36k for that?
Actually, it's a lot more than that. Something like $250,000 for each American. I too am offended.
The "plight of the poor and desperate".... WE, AMERICANS, are ALSO poor and desperate. We just want the same ability to start a new. No other
country in the world (that I know of), awards trespassers.
WHY can't American citizens have the same chance to just, start a new, and lose our past mistakes? It is unfair. This $%^*in SSN binds us to problems
our whole lives.
Yes, why not? Americans don't even get a new start on their credit, bankruptcy follows one for 7-10 years, and one bad credit score and no house or
car for you, friend.
I too have thought that disenfranchised Americans should invade Mexico, and apply for all the help available there. Stand around in the stores talking
English in a loud voice, and undress their women with our eyes. Start our own grocery stores, and have only American foods..
For the record, I have no problem with anyone, from anywhere, who comes here with legal papers in hand, learns the language, learns our customs, and
becomes an American citizen. The problem I have is those who swim the river to get here, then take advantage of services, like using the hospital
emergency room for their personal doctor. And the mules who smuggle people over for a price, and the people who come here only to deal drugs and
commit crimes.
By the way, I have a niece who took up with a Mexican fellow, got pregnant by him, then he was arrested for molesting a child and sent to prison. I
have another lady friend whose fiancée was killed by a stolen car driven by Mexican who could not speak English, nor had a driver's license, and was
drunk. Am I angry? Yes, I am! Do I feel that America is being actively invaded? Yes, I do. Hoist the colors...Stand by to repel borders!
