55. The difference IMO is that this woman knew how to use the system.
Edited on Mon Jun-04-07 12:21 PM by no_hypocrisy
She was paid in cash.
She paid no income taxes.
Paid no property taxes or rent, so she didn't contribute anything to the public education her two
sons received.
Drove w/o insurance.
Invested her money out of this country.
My taxes paid for her ambulance ride to the hospital, the delivery of her two sons, and their medical care while she did not contribute a dime.

And yes, a native-born could have done the same thing, but the fact of the matter is that this woman just drove across the border and stayed and made a killing using the system to her advantage. She had no interest in becoming an American but wanted everything this country had to offer without the reciprocity of citizenship.
