If you assume for a minute that Illegal Mexicans are not hurting our country - read on.

By the time they set foot on American soil they know how to work our government's system. Mexicans invade the United States illegally then commence to having baby after baby. Pregnant illegal women will immediately get on a program that provides: milk, cheese, beans, fruits, vegetables, cereal, bread, juice, eggs and peanut butter. They don't speak a lick of English so the government provides interpreters. While we are providing healthy food for them to eat, we also provide medical services for them to give birth.

As soon as the babies are born we are paying for their formula. And now, since the baby is born in America it's a citizen. 'Anchor babies' open up a whole new door for services. We will continue to pay for the baby's food until it's five.

This is not welfare. This is a federal program for infants and children up to five. During pregnancy and after birth the illegal mothers get the benefits for six months to a year. One of the first and perhaps the only words illegal Mexican women learn is "milk".

To add insult to injury, they act as if we owe them these services. And how dare we not speak Spanish when they call or come in. On this program alone, millions of our tax dollars are spent. Add the free insurance we provide for illegal Mexicans and that's millions more.

The more children these illegal families have, the more benefits they get from other government programs. Our government even funds migrant day care facilities through grants. These facilities only cater to illegal Mexicans.

Illegal Mexicans can obtain housing and college educations too. They are eligible for benefits that lower and lower middle class Americans are denied. Another benefit common for illegal Mexicans to collect is disability assistance. The anchor babies are evaluated, free of charge, as you would expect, and any delays in development or birth defects, earn the illegal parents a check. Now our government is giving illegal families cash every month.

The inexcusable images of teenage Mexicans hanging "Old Glory" upside down with a Mexico flag flying high over it speaks volumes. There are serious doubts that any of these teenagers have ever been to Mexico but guaranteed the teenagers are legal citizens of the United States. Their actions stem from being raised by illegal Mexican parents. They so hate and disrespect this country yet will hold their hands out for the same government to
