I was not insinuating that the people involved with the fundraiser were not legal. I was referring to all the aid that will come to the ILLEGALS here in Texas after the flooding. The ILLEGALS that do not speak English and take our food stamps and government aid when they have paid nothing in to our government to receive this aid!

Some of you are heartless. Have you seen the CHILDREN that are suffering, starving, and dying due to lack of food and water? CHILDREN, people!

"A lot of these people have no shame in their selfishness and indifference." And a lot of them have the common sense to recognize when somebody urinates on our head and then tries to tell us it's raining; On Al Jazira, the people in the Pakistan flood zones keep claiming that they aren't Taliban, they hate the Taliban, yadda yadda yadda...and then in the next breath condemn the Pakistani government and US for not sending more aid into the areas where the Taliban (living among them, please note) are setting up IEDs and beheading Red Cross workers... They KNOW who and where these people are, but haven't lifted a finger to tell the government or stop them from blocking the help from getting in... they'd rather whine that WE won't help because we "don't care". Well, you know what? As long as they keep that attitude up, I DON'T!
