Exactly!

I employ Latino workers. I'm not blind to the fact that they work for me for one reason and one reason only -- $$. I love them because they outwork any American I've ever had 3 to 1. So I treat them with the utmost respect and expect nothing in return -- except production. But it also bothers me to see some Latinos become "Americanized." In other words, learn how to get something for nothing, and start believing the Democratic Party line. I can't blame them for using our healthcare system for free. Wouldn't you, in their situation, if you or your child were in pain?

p>I see this immigration idea as a stroke of genius. Ties that bind. Mano en mano: You want to improve your family's welfare? Then come here, work and seek the American Dream. And if you want healthcare and have no plans to retire or stay here, fine, just present your temporary visa health card and pay for it with your family's accumulated work points. Need to leave and come back? No problem, just present your card with at least 1,000 points at the border for re-entry. Pay to play, or work. br> -- unsigned /p> p> Lawrence Henry is delusional. Presidente Bush's idea is just another invitation to disaster. If we really want to help the situation, we should send aid to Mexico with strings attached so that their people don't feel compelled to cross the border. Better yet, threaten to get rid of NAFTA and let the Mexicans keep their ... green onions, etc. br> -- Susannah Faria
