I guess our legal system does favor illegals

As an American citizen he faced 15 years in prison, but as an illegal, he got a free ride to Mexico.
Is it any wonder they come here to commit crimes?
There''s no deterrent thanks to our liberal courts.

Utah Man, Jaime Alvarado, Poses as Illegal Immigrant to Avoid Long Prison Term

Alvarado was arrested last year on a second-degree felony charge of possessing cocaine and heroin with intent to distribute, according to court records. Facing as much as 15 years in prison, he pleaded guilty and gave an alias, Saul Quiroz, and a fake birth date, and said he was an illegal immigrant. He was deported to Mexico.

How many outlaws did John Wayne chase across the brush country in order to keep them from escaping to Mexico?? Now we give them a bus ticket and escort them across the border!

Preaching to the choir here. I moved from Utah to VA this summer and have been unable to get a job making more money than a babysitter would cost, so I'm currently unemployed and uninsured.

I'm also pregnant and getting all my prenatal care at the local Health Dept. I don't qualify for Medicaid, WIC, or any other gov't assistance because I refuse to kick my employed fiance out of the house (which is a totally different issue) so I'm paying for everything out of pocket.

The Dr who works at the Health Dept is a really nice guy.... he told me that if I were an illegal immigrant I would qualify for a free ultrasound and reduced-cost labor/delivery because there are GOVERNMENT GRANTS for this.

I said "So since I'm a legal resident of the USA, born here, lived here my whole life, been working/paying taxes since I was 17 (until this summer), and am trying to provide a 2-parent household for my children, I don't qualify for any gov't assistance. But if I was born in Mexico and snuck across the border, I could get freebees????"

Dr patted me on the back and said "This is why I retired from private practice.... the system favors the illegals at the expense of the working poor."

Its a sad system we have........

When I need health care, I'm going in as retired coffee bean picker Juan Valdez from Columbia.

Ask your Dr if you can change your name to Maria Juanita Luis Lopez de Santa Anna, and you was born in Cafe del Gato, Chihuahua de Mexico

Coon, the Dr did jokingly ask me if I was sure I hadn't snuck across the Canadian border. I'd never pass as Hispanic, but I could be a Canadian illegal

I was stopped at a sobriety check point the other night and the wife told me I should tell them I don't have to show them a DL because I was an illegal.

I think this was a stroke of genius, and it worked... the first time. I don't think it will fly the next time though. I have always had a problem with the way the illegals are just dumped across the border, only to have them come right back. I say dump them in Cuba. They won't be back anytime soon

A trip to Mexico is a lot cheaper than 15 years in prison.

Or just get halfway there and dump them.

No reason to free a guilty person
Bill Mexico $500,000 a year for each of their people we are housing.

That wouldnt be right... what has Cuba done to us? I favor sending them back to Mexico, but not on the bus.... air fare isnt really that much more... and when you get over their home town... kickem out the door. They wont be back, and their cousins may rethink things about coming this way too.

May be wrong, but back in the 70's, didn't Cuba empty out all of its prisons and psych wards and shipped them here?
