<P><STRONG>Mexicans greedy? I think not. . .a tad delusional
perhaps. What makes them think they're going to see a doctor or a
dentist when so many hard working U.S. citizens cannot afford to.
Someone on the other side of the border must be feeding them a crock. . .
. or they just can't read the news and understand how caring our
Government is toward it's veterans, young children, mentally ill, senior
citizens and the working class poor. </STRONG></P>

Yes, the scores and scores of Mexican immigrants I know are here just
because they're greedy enough to want their kids to have enough to eat and
clothes to wear. Maybe a doctor when necessary -- and the really
avaricious ones think they might even get to see a dentist before they lose
all their teeth.<BR><BR>Boy, that sort of thing really chaps my hide.
I'd write more, but I'm off to the store to get AA batteries for my sons'
headphones. Not the on-ear ones. The other ones. It's hard
to keep track.<BR><BR>keely<BR><BR><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">"And
