Default Sympathy - Please Read

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 so
many are
willing to lavish all kinds
of social
benefits on illegals,
but don't support our
troops?

Wouldn't it
be great if we took
the
$360,000,000,000 (that's billion)
we spend on
illegals every
year, and spend it on our
troops!!!

Just stumbled upon your post and I know it was made a while ago but I'm new here and wanted to say thanks for that. Our country owes them so much still!!!

I bumped into beerhunter in the back room checking out the old files. I agree this is a post we need to see often as we have about half of the country who see their future tied to as many voting illegal aliens and other takers as is necessary to bring the gift of total socialism to our once great country.

I couldn't agree more with the OP. We are a nation that has made a habit of getting priorities all screwed-up.

All of the above and then some!

Maybe have a portion of professional athletes salaries put toward our service men and women as well. Anyone that makes close to or well over a million dollars a year should be thankful to our military who put their lives on the line on a daily basis so that they can enjoy that type of freedom.

Thanks for reminding all of us the sacrifices our troops and their families make for us.
