This proves my point about this not being a joke or funny, and shouldn't disguised that way. I don't mean any offense, but felt like I had to say something because the "joke" bothered me. I hope we can bypass an us or them argument, because that is certainly not my intention. Sorry for any negative vibes I may have generated.

what creates the problem is not funny at all and we won't get into that here.
undocumented workers, however, are not supposed to be here and i think we can all agree on that.

I'm all for not getting into that here. Happy sewing, quilter friend ;-)

This is so true, I cant get help, I am disabled and cant work, but I cant even get welfare. I have worked all my life and now I cant. I cant get more than half of my medacation. we have lost are home we have lost everything because we cant get help. I am praying that I can get SSS. this is why it is funny, not because you are from a diffarent country, but because of the people who come to ours ilegale and take all they can get, and then people like me who was borned here cant get any help. I call that a very sad day when are country cant help there own. Penny

Penny - have you applied for Medicaid or contacted you Cong. Representative? Also, now that the Health Care Bill has passed, I hope you'll be able to get some help.

I dont think I can handle much more. In another month they will take the pain med away because they want a MRI and want to send me to a pain clinic. but I have no money to do any of that. If they do take my pain meds away, I could not go on, it would be to much. Penny

I don't understand what anyone is worked up about. Take the joke at face value. No one should feel insulted unless they're here illegally. Sometimes, a joke is just a joke.......
