Immigration

Bank of America, can I help you?
Customer: Yes, I want to cancel my account. I don't want to do business with you any longer.

The Bank: Why?

Customer: You're giving credit to illegal immigrants and I don't think it's right. I'm taking my business elsewhere.

The Bank: Well, Mr. Customer, we don't want to see you do that, but we can't stop you. I'll help you close the account. What is your account number?

Customer: (gives account number)

The Bank: For security purposes and for your protection, can you please give me the last four digits of your social security number?

Customer: No?

The Bank: Mr. Customer, I need to verify your information, but in order to help you, I'll need verification of who you are..

Customer: Why should I give you my social security number? The reason I'm closing my account is that your bank is issuing credit cards to illegal immigrants who don't have social security numbers. You are targeting that audience and want their business. Let's say I'm an illegal immigrant and you've given me a credit card. I have a question about it and call for assistance. You wouldn't be asking me for a Social Security number, would you?

The Bank: No sir, I wouldn't.

Customer: Why not?

The Bank: Because you would have pressed '2' to speak in Spanish. We don't ask for that information when calling in on the Spanish line.

If it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, then forward it to every human in the country including every representative in Washington , DC four times a week for a month.

We are a free country, and there are laws to follow, people who come to the U.S. legally are welcomed. I know some of these people are desperate, but we have to draw the line. We are in an economic mess, we will never be able to help others if we lose all we have here.

I must admit, I am a Ronald Reagan fan. Didn't realize how much until lately. Where is he when we need him? Turning over in his grave I would imagine!

Reagan....

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

If you didn't know this, now you do. Wake up, get involed, vote, and save our country and the life we know and love. Common Sense!

Socialist! socialism!

UGH! What the heck? What are we thinking? I cannot even talk or write about it.......wake up people! COMMON SENSE!

If anyone cares...

If anyone cares about my opinion...here it is.
I am so thankful that I have health care. I am blessed. I want everyone to have it. I want the government to help and provide for people in need, disabled, and for the children.
What I DON'T want is universal, government controlled health care!!!! I can figure this out on my own. The government does not have to tell me how and what to do with my health! Why do they not get this? Who do they think they are? They need to clean up the fraud, corruption and mess they have in medicare. That's where the focus should be. Look at the mess it is in? If they can't get what they have now in order, why do they think they can manage the whole country's health plan? Give it up, do something constructive, and fix what we already have, if that's possible...common sense, please!

Reconciliation to pass health care...

If this is the route he goes...seal the coffin. His hope for re-election is dead. He and Charlie Rangel can join Bill Clinton and do some community service so they can feel better about themselves.
