Thread: Many Americans are resentful of the 11 million undocumented immigrants

I am resentful of the 11 million - I am more resentful of the 30+ million.

Let's don't let them get away with using the same figure they used in Pres. Bush's first year in office.

Darn right I am resentful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They get treated better than citizens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My parents were immigrants....and they LOVED this country and spoke English!!!!!!

No one wants to admit it but our insurance premiums sky rocketed because someone has to pay for the uninsured and the % added into premiums has grown over the years to cover the uninsured. When I sat in a hospital waiting for my husband to come out of surgery worrying about how to pay the deductibles and co-pays. There was a family of latino's in the waiting room 15-20 of them. The surgeon came out and told them the surgery was a success. He said he would need to see their father in 6 weeks for a check up. I listened to them explain. Their father had came over a few weeks before from Mexico so he could get the surgery he needed. They told the surgeon that their father had to return to Mexico in 3 weeks as it was all arranged. The surgeon said to call the appointment. These are the type of things that leave the impression on American citizens. We see it and live it everyday!

Makes me sick to my stomach!

I too am extremely resentful and it sometimes scares me that I can have so much hatred for an entire group of people and feel absolutely NO ampathy for them.

I couldn't care less of there hardships, sorrows or fear they knowingly chose to live under.

My husband went in for Hernia surgery. We were in the Prep waiting area while the Nurse got him ready.

Behind the next curtain was a Mexican man, his PREGNANT wife and their toddler....making a bunch of racket speaking in Spanish and had to have interpreter! The baby screaming, my nerves were shot about this and the thought of my husband going into surgery and coming out of there safely.

So this pregnant Mexican has one she is feeding and giving birth to another one! I was livid and told the Head Nurse to get the father and the toddler out of there! They made so much noise. And this toddler should NOT have been in there, should have been in the waiting area. I wanted to load them up on a gurney and put them out the back door. Such rude people and they scam us each and every waking day of their lives for what they can take from others.

Guess who foot the bill for their anchors...US taxpayers!

SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS...GET THEM OFF OUR HEALTH CARE, OUT OF OUR HOSPITALS AND OUT OF OUR COUNTRY.

Just curious Beezer, how did the head nurse take your request to get them out?

What was her response?

I went up and complained...I was livid. She got the screaming baby and father out of there. I said send them to the waiting room.

I kept saying "Vamanos" behind the curtain we were in...it means leave.

She went out of her way to take special care of my husband from then on.

Then it was a 2 hour drive home since it was out-patient, exhausting. I am sick of these people.

I should have followed up with a letter of complaint to the hospital.

The Prep room you are in should be quiet, people are getting blood drawn, given anesthesia, getting ready to go into surgery. Not a place for blabber mouth Mexican's and screaming kids. They usually only let one person go in with the patient.
