How much longer we can last with No jobs, open borders, wide open welfare and no improvement in sight. Just asking and how big will the entitlement list grow. We have to stop it somewhere somehow

    Where and how yodeling began?

    Many years ago a man was traveling through the mountains of Switzerland.

    Nightfall was rapidly approaching and he had nowhere to sleep. He went up to a farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could spend the night.


    The farmer told him that he could sleep in the barn.

    As the story goes, the farmer's daughter asked her father, "Who is that man going into the barn?"

    "That fellow traveling through," said the farmer. "needs a place to stay for the night, so, I told him he could sleep in the barn."

    The daughter said, "Perhaps he is hungry." So she prepared him a plate of food and then took it out to the barn.

    About an hour later, the daughter returned. Her clothing disheveled and straw in her hair. Straight up to bed she went.

    The farmer's wife was very observant. She then suggested that perhaps the man was thirsty. So she fetched a bottle of wine, took it out to the barn, and she too did not return for an hour. Her clothing was askew, her blouse buttoned incorrectly. She also headed straight to bed.

    The next morning at sunrise the man in the barn got up and continued on his journey, waving to the farmer as he left.

    When the daughter awoke and learned that the visitor was gone, she broke into tears. "How could he leave without even saying goodbye," she cried. "We made such passionate love last night!"

    "What?" shouted the father as he angrily ran out of the house looking for the man, who by now was halfway up the mountain.

    The farmer screamed up at him, "I'm going to get you! You had sex with my daughter!"

    The man looked back down from the mountain side, cupped his hand next to his mouth, and yelled out.....

    Let's clarify a bit. Welfare is NOT wide open, unless you are an illegal of course, then there is no documentation necessary. [:(!]

    The U.S.A. is starting to look like the Costa Concordia, holed and on its side -- with an idiot for a captain.

    Have we already passed the balance point? Is it only a matter of time? I don't know. But a nation on the rocks, just like a ship, can be salvaged and made right again.

    I think we past the tipping point sometime ago.

    Examin the figures of American Citizens on the Welfare Dole,, the Illegals drawing welfare are a drop in the bucket..

    I do agree however if you are not a citizen of this country you are not entitled to tax payer help in the form of welfare..

    I live close to an area where Hispanics are the majority and very few of them are on Welfare.. Some of those that have children born in this country get some help, otherwise they are not entitled to get welfare..

    We cannot blame all the Ills of our welfare program on the illegals as they are just the tip of the iceberg, a problem yes, but the little end of the major problem..

    That is the difference between Cubans and Mexicans, Most Cubans despise the illegals & socialist government programs as they saw what it did to their homeland and are here to escape it....
