Free what? Last I checked, nothing I have received so far has been 'free.' Looking at the substantial tax deduction on my paycheck, I'm paying for all the government programs I use, and I pay for my health-life-car-property insurance, food, rent, electricity... pretty much everything else myself. In fact, the only things I can think of that I've received 'for free' have been my first semester in college from my parents (still paying the rest of those!) and various gifts from friends.

Immigrants as a whole don't show up, walk into a welfare office and get a check. They work and they PAY for the services they use via taxes. This concept that people who immigrate are freeloaders really frustrates me. They're not. And the simple fact is, there's absolutely no logical reason to deny them access to the thing that we love so very much:money and freedom to spend it. Because frankly, it won't cost us anything.

And yes, the trillions of dollars we've spent on our military could fund just about every civil project we can fathom. I don't think people realize just how much we spend on our standing army.
