The entitled few. I suppose that several years ago it may have been a good thing to be among that group of the entitled.
Now, however, a new entitlement class has replaced the simply "entitled." The new class of those now in line for entitlements are illegal aliens.
We, the People, are paying for the upkeep of the approximately one-fourth of our prison population made up of illegal aliens.
We, the People, are paying for much of the healthcare of illegal aliens. We have the closed hospitals to prove it.
We, the People, have been replaced as employees by illegal aliens, who can be hired at such a lower wage than a citizen. Just think of the savings if no job benefits are necessary to be provided by employers. The new employment possibilities are attractive enough to illegal aliens, who are simply grateful, apparently, to have the job. Forget about any benefits that may have been available to employees who are citizens of the United States.
We, the People, who elected those people in Washington for our fair representation in government, must sit dumbly as those very people we elected fail miserably in the problems that are the side effects of the swarms, droves, millions of illegal aliens now mixing among us while refusing to be a part of us. Rather, the illegal aliens want to turn my country into their country.
I am at a total loss to understand how it is that while "we the People" have made it more than abundantly clear that we want an end to illegal immigration; that we want as many illegal aliens deported as possible; that we would love to have monumental fines slapped on employers having the gall to employ illegal aliens; and that we want an immediate end to a prohibition against what is laughably called "profiling," the people we have hired to work on our behalf pay no more attention to us than a gnat. Instead, they sit on their cushy chairs, rock, have assistants write conciliatory notes to constituents, have meetings, form committees, call people to testify, perform a few more studies, and idly watch TV reports of illegal aliens breaching the borders. And maybe scratch.
These illegal aliens form the new entitled class in the United States. The people we have hired to work for us in Washington have, in effect, said, "A pox on all your houses."
I am sick of it.
