SHERMAN, Tex. ― Police in Sherman seized $180,000 worth of meth in what they call one of the biggest meth houses they have ever seen. Rashi Vats has more.

The Sherman Police Department held a press conference this morning describing what they are calling one of the biggest meth busts in the past 10 years.

Police served a search warrant in the 1200 block of North Branch Street in Sherman. Inside, police found more than 4 pounds of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $180,000. Police also found more than $23,000 in cash.

Sherman police say they arrested three men, all in their twenties and reportedly illegal immigrants from Mexico. Police say all three are at the Grayson County Jail, placed under a federal immigration hold.

"They have a hold placed on them through ICE for immigration, and there will be an additional set of charges placed in addition to the 4 pounds of methamphetamine," Sgt. Bruce Dawsey of the Sherman Police Department said.

The Sherman Police Department says that their cooperation with the Denison Narcotics Division is what made the bust possible.

The next step is a civil forfeiture hearing.

Posted by: Anonymous on Nov 19, 2008 at 01:56 PM
i'm with you kay. they come over illegal as they please then they have those babies on our dime, every single mexican should be shipped back to mexico, if they are not from mexico then let mexico worry about that. only if they are illegal mexicans. i have no problem with the ones that are legal whose families have been here for generations. that can speak english and do speak it. spanish should be spoke behind closed doors not in public where i have to listen to it. GO HOME TO ALL ILLEGALS AND STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ everyone making comments on racism and blacks...we now have a incoming African American President. so you can't call whities racist anymore.

@ Racist?..very well put. Bravo to the Sherman PD on the drug bust! Now on the part of discussing "illegals" on this thread. It's only when illegals are arrested we are able to voice our feelings about illegals. Allow me to say this, at a church function within the past word I was helping out at a dinner. I was approached by a hispanic and asked her if she wanted some bbq sauce with her brisket. She replied, (and this is what it sounded to me) "blah blah blah blah". Since I don't understand the Spanish language, I politely said to her, "I'm sorry I don't understand" she repeated her "blah blah blah blah" I once again apologized to her I didn't understand, at that point she snapped at me, rolled her eyes and said "Just a little" I then said why she didn't say that in the first place she snapped back at me with "Well you need to learn to speak SPANISH". The woman next me told the woman "if we were in Mexico we'd have to speak Spanish, so why don't you speak English??" She just walked away

Dear Kay, I agree with you. Strong words, but rightfully so. Will we protect our country and her borders or let her fall? I support the Minutemen watching our border.

You have the right to speak how you please? I also have the right to ignore the *%#@ out of you. My brother said years ago that Mexicans (illegals) make themselves 2nd class citizens. Not racist. To compete in the world today- you have to speak the language of the country you live in. If I go to Japan (or any other non-English speaking country in the world), if I can't speak that language--I make myself a second class citizen. The citizens of that country are not going to respect you like they would if you had the respect to learn their language. So, weather you are from Mexico-Germany-Poland(anybody remember the Polish guy that killed 10 people out on south 75-my neighbor had to translate)please have the respect to learn the language.

Posted by: notnthekkk on Nov 18, 2008 at 12:32 PM
Sure, ship them back to Mexico so they can turn right back around and come back to my home. I would much rather pay taxes to keep them in our jail for the rest of their lives then pay for their healthcare, food, housing, while they run the streets selling drugs. Better yet, just string them up.

There are aproximately billions of people in this world that live on $2.43 a day, And you can't understand why people die to get over here? Whats wrong with teaching our children culture? There are plenty of studies to support multi-language teaching being very beneficial to their studies.It also shows tolerance which if your against illegal immigration fine but if your against teaching your kids another language which could be anything,that i do not understand.If we sent all of our children overseas to live and teach they will understand the meaning of appreciation and not the latest trends that parents seem to garnish to kids before values.

I can tell you that I am not afraid to work and will do whatever it takes for my family. Actually I don't think you are truely seeing what is going on in the work force here locally as there are alot of people not using correct ssn for their employment. Course nothing you say will change what I KNOW! Good day everyone!

Illegal Mexicans crossing the border are turning our cities, states, and country into a third world toilet, exporting their poverty to America. Americans overwhelmingly do not want any amnesty for aliens. What we do want is for our "esteemed" elected officials to secure our open borders, enforce current immigration laws, punish parasitic employers who hire these felons in the first place, cut ALL social services to illegals, begin some sort of mass deportation process back across the border to "Mehico," and END BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, SANCTUARY CITIES, AND CHAIN MIGRATION. Taxpayers are sick and tired of footing the bill for these criminals and their token anchor babies.

To "reader" ...what an incredibly STUPID assumption that just because I ABHOR the RACIST slurs against Hispanic, then I must BE one. I'm not BLACK either, but I'm also against discrimination toward BLACKS. To the IDIOT that said , basically , hating HISPANICS isn't RACIST because that's not a "RACE"..go fill out legal/government documents you FOOL, check caucasian, afro-american, native-american, hispanic, asian. I happen to be a Scot-Irish Texan, and I bet about half of the nasty mouthed, HATE mongers commenting on this story are illiterate white trash who couldn't even qualify for a job at McDonald's.

Many years ago-in a land far,far away-there were decent paying jobs. Remember when road construction was a very sought after job, paid dang well. Then the contractors found they could teach the illegals how to do the job--"hey their ellegal - we can pay them less,cause their not going to say anything" Now- instead of $20 or $25 an hour(and that was years ago)--it's what $15 an hour. If people want to immegrate,fine-legally. Then demand proper wages, then you won't have to work two jobs. No, your not doing jobs Americans won't do- but you allow them to pay you substandard wages. I have friends from Germany--their German, England-English-Poland-Polish---MEXICO-MEXICANS -they shouldn't be ashamed of where they come from.

Hey John with the illegal wife...does she pay income taxes when getting paid money for cleaning houses? Just curious. That's where I draw the line, I will not hire anyone and pay cash unless they can prove that they pay taxes like I do. That's the problem with paying people under the table, they can have a pretty good income but since it's not "on paper" then they can also get a free ride on the government's hind tit.

I thought about moving to sherman. But ther are some many over in sherman and i don't want to live around that stuff. They bring down the place parking in the yard and having old junk cars. I mean they have them in all races of people but for some reason they have more from the hispanic's. I think it is they do not ticket them for doing wrong the cops just say well they are mexicans they con't know. What ever happend to when it comes to law ther is no excuse for ignorance.( yesi know i aint that great of a speller)

LoveGuru, we are all migrants. The difference between a migrant and an immigrant? Immigrants carry passports and obey the immigration laws. The difference between an alien and a citizen or legal resident? An alien is not a citizen or a legal resident. An illegal alien, has no business being here.

Education time, campers............where did your ancestors originally come from? I mean the ones who first setr foot on these shores waaaaaay back? I can wait...... OK, now, how many of you are Native American (amd should know even YOUR ancestors migrated here thousands of years ago via the Bering Sea landbridge druing the last Ice Age)? OK. Now to you closet racists (you too Fed Up from Southmayd), we're ALL immigrants. I am not against immigration- if people want to come here the right way to better their lives, more power to them. Sneaking in is wrong, regardless of where you come from (Asia, Mexico, Middle East). The fact that these guys caught were illegals is on them- personally, I have no problem with immigrants in this country (shut up over there, Fed Up) Why should they hide their heritage? Should they learn the local language? You bet they should. Should they abandon their heritage, mother tongue, etc? NO. Where in Southmayd do I deliver the new robe & hood?

My wife is an illegal alien, and we have 2 kids, US born citizens. So you haters out there mean to tell me that you want to leave my kids without a loving mother who cleans other people's houses for very little money just because she came into this country illegaly? Did you know that it takes 5 years in order for a foreign immigrant to be considered serious for a working visa? And it takes another 5 years in order to become a citizen? So these poor people had no other choice but to break a stupid law in order to work for very little money in order to save their familes back home from dying of starvation and illnesses. I love my wife, and I will not let stupid uninformed people destroy her character by grouping her with people who sell drugs, kill innocent people, or do other worst crime. Being illegally here is not a crime, it's an unfortunate circumstance that needs to be addressed soon.

Oh man, yeah I hate these illegals. They are living the life earning $5 an hour at McDonalds or constructing roads or ditches. Because who wouldn't love putting up with whiney customers for 8 hours or that 100 degree weather in the summer?! Man, I am so tired from working in my A/C'd office, with a television and a chair! Oh and the drugs were TOTALLY okay right? I mean, as long as they are for us natural born Americans, it's completely acceptable. But the fact that these 3 illegals made them and not US citizens is out of the question. I guess 3 rednecks were out of a job because these 3 illegals took their jobs too. YEAH, THIS IS WHAT I AM BASICALLY HEARING WHEN I READ ALL OF THE HATEFUL RACIST COMMENTS AGAINS ILLEGALS! Selling and producing drugs is a much bigger crime than being here illegally! These 3 dudes should be deported immediately because they are scum. But Maria the Busser is not harming anyone by working at a restaurant without the proper documents! STOP THE HATE!!

Posted by: Ha, you racist people are hillarious! Location: Texoma on Nov 15, 2008 at 02:14 PM
All of you complaining about the illegals "taking yer jobs"... ARE YOU SERIOUS?! You mean to tell me that a foreign immigrant, who barely speaks English got hired over you? Could it be that they didn't care about the legal status of the illegals but instead about the quality of work of the person? If you don't have a job, then it's your own fault! Americans usually don't want to do "Dirty Jobs" unless they get paid like a person with a degree. GET REAL! Unless you go to a college/university, don't expect to get a job that pays $15 an hour. These illegals are doing these jobs because they know that hard work=$$$. Yes, they drive nice cars, but it's because they save up their money unlike a lot of people out here who blow it all on meth or drugs. Stop hatin' on these hardworkin people and instead get off that couch and go out there, there are A LOT of jobs out there!

Posted by: Disappointed in our community... Location: Sherman on Nov 15, 2008 at 02:08 PM
First it was hate against blacks and now against undocumented Americans? (Yes, I said Americans). So I guess doing meth is okay but going to another country without the proper documents to have a job and raise US Born kids is a complete abomination?! GET REAL! God gave us this world to share equally, and while I do think we need borders to keep out the people who do cause us harm (terrorists), I think anyone who wants to live the American dream should be allowed to. These 3 men should be imprisoned because deportation would be too good for them, but the undocumented Americans aren't causing any trouble. Please, stop hating minorities in this country and be more tolerant! RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2012!

Posted by: Grandmother of 10 Location: Denison on Nov 15, 2008 at 02:01 PM
Hate, Racism, and Intolerance... I agree with that person that mentioned how not many seem to care about the meth bust, but are instead focusing on the three illegal aliens. Really? I guess I am not that surprised considering our area is the "Meth Capital" of the USA. Yes, these three young men should pay for their crimes including being here illegally and destroying our community with drugs, but to label all undocumented immigrants as criminals is absurd. I am 65yrs old and I have bi-racial grandchildren, and I hate to see that in the year 2008, there is still hate towards minorities. My ancestors were once considered "property" and not humans so I can sympathize with these hardworking people who just want a better life. Yes, the ones causing harm should be imprisoned, but the rest have the right to live here just like you and me. And to anonymous at 12:19...OBAMA WON! Get over it, unless you have a problem with him too and want him deported b/c his father was from Kenya. LOVE!

I live on Branch St., 3 blocks from this particular house and for the record, there have not been "illegals, Hispanics, Mexicans, or any other such ethnicity walking, creeping, ect.. up and down this street. Meth. is not the drug of choice of most African americans, this was obviously a drop and pick-up house and the traffic would have used cars to and from the location. The anger and racial anxiety is missed-placed, and if we would look after our neighbor's goods and neighborhood wellbeing and stop trying to stereotype a particular group of people, ther is no doubt in my mind that we could avert any such corruption from entering our city and endangering our children. Let us keep our eyes open and our mouths shut until we have something helpful and constructive to say. Life is too short for irrational, small minded behaviour. Let us support our local Law Enforcement and bring about positive change that promotes and build our community. Lets Love each other a little bit more everyday.

First of all, if they are illegal and paying taxes then that means they have to have a ss#? Right? So therefore, this apparently is falsified if they are not a legal citizen, so are these "taxes" took out of their paychecks? How NOBLE of them!!! Its suppose to be okay they are paying taxes using fraudulent documents and a SS# that there is no telling where they got it? Tell me, you people defending illegals working and paying taxes, how exactly does this work????

TO SECOND GENERATION MEXICAN: Thank goodness your grandparents got amnesty (free ticket), they broke the law too coming here illegally! It is not fair to the immigrants that come into this country the legal way and file their paperwork, etc. How do you think they feel seeing all of this people getting a free ride in? And for the comments saying there are white people doing the same thing, yes, there is, but they are SUPPOSE to be here, they are legal citizens, so we have enough problems dealing with that, (already feeding too many people in prison), much less illegals here doing it!!!! come in legally or dont come at all!!!!!

I take it you do not live in a neighborhood so full of illegals that you can easily sleep at night because their music is so loud it sounds like a Rolling Stone concert--nor do you have to lock everything you own into storage just to keep it from being stolen during the night, the illegals prowl the streets all night looking for whatever they can steel. The police do try to stop them but they just take off and run in different directions to prevent being caught.

Love Guru I am American Indian. Did you know that the Mexican government once placed bounties on Apache scalps for silver? Look it up if you don't believe me. The Apaches actually wanted to help U.S. troops rid the southwest of Mexican Nationals and Mexican solders due to the animosity between Mexicans and American Indians. This was during the American/Mexican war. There was no love lost between American Indians and Mexico.

My heart breaks for the level of ignorance and bigotry being written throughout a majority of these posts. The "Our Country" argument is not very solid as everyone except American Indians are immigrants at some point in their family trees. Another weak excuse is the job loss... it's not the fault of any one people, it's the business owners that make decisions to lay off American workers for laborers willing to work for less. So greed should be the sin creating this disparity for which you cry. What makes this country great is the fact that America takes people in who want to make a better life for themselves and enjoy the same freedoms that we all do. America is a land of dreams and prosperity that should be shared with others. Love one another, give people a chance, get to know your neighbors, do something nice for complete strangers, etc. Less hatred, fewer excuses, and more of God's love is all that is needed.

Also to Legal Immigrant can you not read? You said nowhere does it say Mexican. Read it again. This is what it says above as I only copied and pased! "Sherman police say they arrested three men, all in their twenties and reportedly illegal immigrants from Mexico." I do believe that says from Mexico!!!!!!!!

To Legal Immigrant: Do you not realize that what you are saying? Yes these people are willing to work twice as hard and for less pay because they aren't paying in TAXES!!!!!!!!!!! Do you not see the issue here?? Illegals take benefits but do not pay taxes! They get the same priveleges we do living here legally but they don't pay taxes like we do! It just kills me that people use that argument. Well they work harder and for less money. Yeah cause they get all of there money. None goes to the government to replenish what they are taking.

Posted by: American Location: Here on Nov 14, 2008 at 10:10 AM
To Anonymous you don't know that illegals are getting benefits? What rock have you been hiding under. It is happening all over the place. I also do believe it is going before congress as to if illegals should be allowed to draw social security!! I can't believe you don't know that illegals are getting public assistance. Either pay taxes and speak english or get out!!!! I'm not racist and I don't have a problem with people coming here. But do it legally people! Speak English and pay taxes like the rest of us!

Nora - you don't work harder than Americans. Stop puffing yourselves up. My son is a contractor. Currently he has no work. He employs an "all American" crew. The contractors running the mexican crews have work. My son pays his employees well, so he has to bid higher. Of course the quality of the owrk shows. I noticed where a mexican crew poured a patio. It was horrible, you could see the rock in it - it was all honey-combed, like I said - it was horrible. But, in this case, you get what you pay for. Oh, yea - he takes the time to pay the taxes on his jobs, too.

1st off, this story has little to do with immigration. It has everything to do with the meth habits of people in Texoma. There is a high demand. Some people just chose not to address that (and good job law enforcement!) and instead are taking blame out on illegals. There are plenty of citizens that make meth too, is it really any worse that an undocumented does it too? As for "dishonest work" why would you blame somebody for taking advantage of an opportunity to better his/herself and/or provide for their family better? That makes no sense. I'd be foolish not to do that myself. It would make more sense to blame EMPLOYERS that provide them opportunities and to demand that the government reform laws so that the illegals that supposedly live off welfare can't (i'm not saying that they do, but if they actually do, don't let them). Again, you cannot blame somebody for taking care of himself or his family, that's being HUMAN. Stop demonizing people. It's Nazi Germany all over again

to leagal immigrant @4:37. those red necks and American born are from here they should be the ones getting the help not the illegals or the legal immigrants. for those who were not born here they should all go back to where they have come from. become a legal citizen not a legal immigrant. pay taxes, buy car ins, get helth ins. ect. to eh; this is America we speak English, if another language is spoken it should be behind closed doors. every lable on the stores shelves should be in English. and lay off of outrages grahmar, if all you can do is complain about some ones spelling, capitalition then you need to get a life. nora; go back to where ever you came from. this is our country, not yours. i dont buy the stuff you are selling. GO HOME!!

Mythoughts- it's a case of "my sources vs your source" (and the site you provided is a nasty agenda driven site) from http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN246261520080226 : People born outside the United States make up about 35 percent of California's adult population but account for about 17 percent of the adult prison population, the report by the Public Policy Institute of California showed. /// US born Americans commit a disproportionate percentage of crime. Foreign born people (legal illegal) commit a disproportionate amount. Illegals want to stay out of the public eye because they do not want to be sent back. Of course there are some illegal immigrants that commit crimes, and the news media won't hesitate to expose them. This has helped lead to the fact that Latinos are now the #1 victim of hate crimes in the US.

If we deport them they will just come back. I think a life sentence is better, we may have to feed them but they won't be selling drugs to our children. Of course, there are other alternatives...

To John: The Goverment may not let thme in by walking them accross the boarder but they do noting to stop it or when caught they are set free and come back accross with another name and a new SSN. I know this for a fact due to I lost a job due to company in Denton with 80% illeagls there. They even help pay to bring them accross!! Wake up!!! To "A Legal Immigrant" I am gald your are legal and welcome anyone as long as they come here the right way. I also stated "where ever they are from" so read before you comment. Read above and yes I have lost my job to illegal immigrants as many more have in this country!! Get your facts before writing your blog. I had over 10 working under me and 3 of them had the same SSN??? 1 was 21 years old (we think) but she had a SSN for a 82 man!! There is a problem with that in our system when this goes on. I have a family of Mexicans living down the street from me and watched them steal from a community center thrift store. What a good family, duh!!!!

What part of illegal don't you folks understand. It doesn't matter if you work hard. If you are illegal then you are illegal. Become a citizen or go home. Try to go to another country and remain there illegal and see what happens to you. Send these guys back to there home country now!

Oh and for Nora and who else. Yes you guys do work hard as the rest of us do, but the main reason alot of you immigrants have these nice cars is because when there are 17 of you adults living in a 3 bedroom house and most working, whether it be real jobs or drug jobs, hey when that is split 17 ways, bills are cheap, where you all can have nice rides... LOL

Racial Profiling. It's just another phrase for prejudice and bigotry. As for the figures from www.usillegalaliens.com, first of all that is not any sort of "official" website, just bigoted views of the author...and while it does talk about increases in crime it states..quote.. "How much of that is consequence of illegal alien crimes is largely unknown because NOBODY IS TRACKING IT." So "Mythoughts"..your comment "this statistic is proven " is TOTALLY UNPROVEN. It's call "spinning" the truth. For example: There are government documents that show the crime rate in Houston has gone up 24% since Hurricane Katrina, which is exactly the same percentage of increase in population due to Katrina evacuees remaining in Houston. Does the report SAY the increased crimes were committed by Katrina evacuees? No, but that is what SOME PEOPLE assume.

I am tired of being run out of my neighborhood for illegals. There are 3-5 families that live in 1 3 bedroom house. That is how they drive nice cars. Rent is $600.00 and between 3 families, well you figure their part of the rent. Drive around and you can see 4-6 cars up in the yard and in the street. Get papers to live here or get out. Teach your kids English. Our teachers have it hard enough, but having to teach your kids to speak the correct language shouldn't be their job. Yes, there are some of you that do work hard, but for the most part, all I can see is all these families in 1 home, outside drinking their beer. At least you are keeping the beer companies in business. Way to go Sherman PD. Now get all of these drug dealers, rather they are white, black or hispanic.

YOU ARE ALL RACIST IGNORANT PEOPLE!!! Blaming all undocumented immigrants for the crimes of these 3 loser! Really? So I guess all whites and blacks must be deported as well because they too produce and sell drugs? Do y'all hear what y'all are saying? Oh, and to that idiot that wrote about the Spanish newspaper... WHAT? What does that have to do with anything?! This is sadly racism at its worst. Thank God my generation is more tolerant of other people. AND THEY ARE NOT ALL MEXICANS! The proper term for them is HISPANICS! So before you all condemn these poor people for wanting to improve their lives, look and yourself first and figure out if you are perfect! I know I am not, so I will not decide that I am better than them because I was born here in Texas and they weren't. U guys just need to find some hobby and be more loving towards everyone else, legal or illegal. God Bless you all and may He continue watching over our beloved and multi-cultured country!

Posted by: Anonymus Location: Sherman on Nov 13, 2008 at 10:51 PM
Good, I am glad to know that these three criminals were caught. I think that they want to be deported because they won't have to serve time in jail otherwise, so I hope they serve time for their crime...HOWEVER! Since when is wanting to make a better life for your family a crime? I am so disappointed in a lot of your comments Texoma! Honestly, to label all illegal aliens as criminals is absurd. They hold at least 2 full-time jobs, pay their taxes (those that get paychecks), they send their kids to school and encourage them to become more American than Mexican... So what is wrong with legalizing them? Yeah, some of them are loud or rude sometimes, but when you go to a restaurant, do they not offer you friendly service? And this non-sense about not speaking English, do they make you order your burgers in Spanish?!? Don't think so. So please, look at them, after all, they ARE GOD'S CHILDREN TOO! If you don't like them because of their race, then I hope you will open your heart!

My grandparents came to the US illegally in 1970, but became US Citizens after the 1986 amnesty. My parents were both born here, as well as myself and my siblings. My parents speak perfect Spanish and English, and I am beginning to take classes to improve my spanish. So to all of you people saying that illegals won't melt into the great melting pot, I am living proof that you are wrong. All of this hate towards these hardworking people is nothing more than fear and racism. Most illegal aliens here don't speak perfect English, but listen to their kids' and you'll see that they are American. What's next? Hate towards Asians or Middle-Eastern people? Yeah, these three bozos screwed up and they deserved to be deported, but don't label all of these people as criminals because they are not. They only want a better life for their families, and they want their kids to be 100% AMERICAN!!! So to all of you haters out there... GET OVER IT!!! Change is here and it's not going anywhere!

Posted by: Proud American Location: Sherman on Nov 13, 2008 at 10:36 PM
IDIOTS!!! I cannot believe what I am reading. Yes, these 3 men were illegal immigrants from a hispanic country, but that does not mean that ALL illegals in this country are bad. Most of them DO pay taxes because they get paychecks stupid, they DO NOT qualify for any benefits, their kids do, and their kids are US Born Citizens, so they have the same rights as my kids to get help from the government. I knew that there were false rumors about these hardworking people, but all of you racist people calling on their deportation give us all white people a bad name. I know that you will not agree with me, but I mean, how many times have we heard about illegals here in Texoma compared to the 1000s of other times where AMERICAN CITIZENS have commited crimes? Stop blaming these people because most of them just want to live the American dream, and we have no right to stop them from achieving it. So don't let these 3 idiots represent the other 20 million that actually love this country!!!!!!!!

Nora:first of all I will not trade with anyone that is not American and the only reason that the immigrants work 2 jobs is to send it to the rest of the family in Mexico! second of all my feelings on the speaking english thing is speak it or leave don't make my kids learn your language cause we don't ever plan on going there and they are dang well not willing to learn our language I really get sick of everywhere I call I have to press 1 for english when in my opinion there should of never been an option 2. To Outraged.. I got your back I feel the same way. To the LEGAL IMMIGRANT lots of immigrants take OUR jobs and it is NOT because we are lazy we do what it takes to get by if we are so lazy then why the heck don't you work where you came from??? I am glad that Sherman PD got these so called people!

Unlike the illegals...I work an honest job. And if you want to degrade someone who works and lives by the laws of the land-be my guest. Maybe that will inflate your ego. But your attitude to Americans (born or naturalized) leaves a lot to be desired. Now go ahead and make more excuses.

Legal immigrant- You are wrong about the crime rate. EIGHTY-FOUR THOUSAND women and children are molested, raped or murdered by illegals in ONE year. This stastitic has been proven. Most of these offenders get kicked out of the country and then are back doing the same or worse. Go to http://www.usillegalaliens.com/ . Here is my source of these facts. Where is yours?

Posted by: a legal immigrant Location: sherman on Nov 13, 2008 at 04:37 PM
for Anonymous, concerned, etc. Nowhere did it say that the "illegal immigrants" were MEXICAN. Illegals can come from Chile, Honduras, Argentina, and nonhispanic countries like Canada, Poland, Kenya, etc. Not all "illegals" are draining country via welfare, Lord knows there are plenty of rednecks and American borns that do that. Also, studies have shown that undocumented residents commit crimes at lesser rates than natural born US Americans. For people that complain that Mexicans took their jobs, what kind of position/education did you have where you had your job "taken" by an undocumented resident willing to work twice as hard for half the money. Thanks to immigrants and Wal-Mart, inflation has slowed down and there is a workforce willing to bust their butts for your lazy spoiled butts. America is in such great shape that people are willing to come here and work, they CHOOSE to be US Americans. If you want them to stop coming, tell your businesses not to hire them. God bless America.

Hey outrage, If you want to be American and reap the benefits, learn that freedom of speech includes the right to speak in whatever language one chooses (starting to sound like I'm in Iran). In addition, before chastening others for their lack of English, learn that English is capitalized, benefits only has one i, I is capitalized when used as a pronoun and the first letter of a sentence is always in uppercase. What were you saying about English again?

I don't know why people are griping about illegals getting government benefits... THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THEM! (If you see someone speaking Spanish at the grocery store and they have a Lone Star card, it's likely they were born here in the States but grew up speaking Spanish anyway- that happens a lot).

Illegal aliens in Sherman??? No, say it isn't so! That's what happens when you allow the Mexicans to invade. INS isn't go to do anything. They're as worthless as the border patrol. Send them back, they'll just be back in town next week. Close the borders and send all the illegals back. It's the justice system that puts them on probation and allows them to stay here in the first place.
