Minorities
* We need to show more sympathy for these people.
* They travel miles in the heat.
* They risk their lives crossing a border.
* They don't get paid enough wages.
* They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do.
* They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language.
* They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day every day.

I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans;
I'm talking about our troops!
Doesn't it seem strange that many Democrats and Republicans are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops and are now threatening to defund them?

I saw a documentry on a marine vet who was in a humvie that got hit by a AED and he got shrapnel in the head and burned over 90% of his body they did not believe he was going to live but after numerous operations and the loss of his right arm and some fingers on his left hand, they put his big toe on his left hand as a thumb, he is getting screwed by the VA for monthly payments being less then he deserves and they classified him as not being able to cllect more. I don't know the full details on the VA classifications but they screwed him. On the positive side the marine who was engaged to be married when he deplyed finally got married after all the operations.
