More on Bush and illegal immigration

Illegal aliens, for the state's former governor, George W. Bush, are nothing except hard workers. Super-liberal Molly Ivans agrees:

Racists seem obsessed by the idea that illegal workers--the hardest-working, poorest people in America--are somehow getting away with something, sneaking goodies that should be for Americans. You can always avoid this problem by having no social services. This is the refreshing Texas model, and it works a treat.

Aren't y'all grateful that we're down here doing exactly nothing for the people of our state, legal or illegal? Think what a terrible message it would send if you swapped Texas with Vermont, and they all got healthcare. In Texas, we never worry about illegals taking advantage of social benefits provided by our taxpayers. Incredibly clever, no?

But there are lots of federal government benefits for poor people that illegal aliens don't use only because their illegal status renders them ineligible. (Documentation here.)

Once given amnesty, or made guestworkers, they can belly up to the public trough like anyone else. Too many liberals have transformed the American Dream of achievement through self-reliance and hard work into a hope that one day everyone will be dependent upon the government.
