I try not to go there

I try hard to refrain from getting into political issues in this BLOG.
But I just saw the movie Sicko. And now I read about the immigration bill that will more than likely be passed. The immigration bill is not so bad, for immigrants, and will perhaps sway some minority voters in 2008.
What about the Americans'? What have you benefited from over the past 8 years?
Food for thought.
