StumbleLetter: Illegals treated better than war veterans
Saturday, April 22, 2006 | 7:27 a.m.
I am writing for millions of people who are in the same predicament as I am. I am 84 years old and served in the military during World War II. My wife and I are living on our small Social Security pensions.
What I can't understand is why my wife and I cannot receive free medical care, free food stamps and subsidized housing, but illegal immigrants can get all these benefits. Why do they receive these benefits?
A notice to all members of the Senate and the House: How long will it take to correct this situation?
