nellie, i'm sorry that you think this was about you. in my area there is no problem with illegal spanish-speaking undocumented people, so the "joke" was certainly not directed at you. rather, it referred to the fact that there ARE undocumented immigrants from all over the world in this country who, unlike you, are not citizens, have not learned english, but are still using YOUR tax dollars for medical aid and to educate their children. the united states has 4 borders: 2 of them are major port coasts where immigrants enter, 1 is a southern border where immigrants enter and one is a northern border where immigrants enter. illegals get in from all of these places. people from all over the world come in through canada and also through mexico, as well as both coasts. this was not about any particular ethnicity and none was mentioned.
