July 7, 2008, 3:07pm (report abuse)I am a taxpayer too, and I think we are responsible for supporting people who got an asylum in this country - in a case they are not able to work and support themselves. They did not sneak into this country - they all came here legally, getting away from persecution, so they are not "parasites". Besides, that's peanuts, comparing with what we are wasting on a war in Iraq.

But now, just count seconds before this ugly bank bailout bill will be signed into law.
Maria - you do not want to support refugees with your money, do you? You would rather support all these Wall Street fat boys, right?
