    I had the exact same experience, meanwhile every illegal that couldn't speak English received food stamps, health care, welfare and job training assistance.

    Bullshit. They are absolutely fucking idiots. Illegals come into this country, frequently to get health care and to vote in our elections. Its done every day. If you're a repeat offender, they keep you in jail and you do receive decent to good health care.

    And as its unpopular to actually verify citizenship in border states for elections, millions of illegals vote every year.

    While I don't agree with everything going on in Arizona, the simple truth is, most people who oppose it are either ignorant morons (vast, vast majority who are not part of the second group) who have no idea what's actually going on or are illegals and/or friends/family of illegals.
