Reply #12: Sorry, but if the bill isn't limited to people here legally, I won't support it. [View All]

I know a lot of people like to guilt trip others by saying that it's all about "compassion," but I've never bought into the idea of forced "compassion" for others. I don't support ANY benefit for illegals - health care, education or otherwise. I support taking away any incentive for people to be here illegally, period.

I realize I'm going to get flamed here for not getting all weepy-eyed about illegals, but I would ask anyone about to flame me to spare me the "But they're poor, just trying to build a better life for their families" argument. I've heard it hundreds of times and it doesn't move me. Millions of people are poor, we can't support them all and we shouldn't be forced to support people who think they should be able to cut in line because our laws are inconvenient for them.
