Scott, The point was that such a line of thought was inappropriate in this setting. You could/should have stated simply that your comment was meant tongue-in-cheek and left it at that. I certainly have opinions on this matter that would certainly ruffle feathers, but that is the extent to which I am going to speak of it here.

I dont care about the ones who are here legally... its the ones that are here illegally that irritates me... since you and I are paying all their medical, taxes, etc. If you want to pay their way in this country, feel free.. I for one would rather my hard earned money go to pay for other things... like health insurance, that many americans cannot afford to pay or dont even have it... yet we pay for theirs. My post was a bit of a joke, but if you want to get serious about it... I could write a book about my feeling on this subject. But this subject is not for a geocaching forum.... so I will end it now. I have nothing against mexicans (or lets be politically correct and call them hispanics)... just the ones here illegally. Funny thing.. as I write this.. I am listening to a Rick Trevino spanish CD and singing along to it.
