I received this email and I really thought it was worth passing it on. Any comments! 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 many Democrats and Republicans are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops, and are even threatening to defund them?

YOu know why the democrats want amnesty for the illegals? Not because they care about them...there are 12 million of them...they want their votes. That is it. It is about Power and elections...not compassion...not humanity. You are right that alot of our elected officials care more about the illegals than they do about our troops. Which should tell you something about their character right there.

I feel safe saying that MOST Americans would much rather their tax money go to our troops than illegals. You are absolutely right in your assessment.

This is the right mindset for the right people. My father and grandfather served and now my brother is over there. They are the strong and willing to help others at all costs. God bless our troops.
