Really? What tribe? Just being born on this continent does not make you
"Native American".

Most of the folks I've met from Mexico work harder than their US
counterparts, and are willing to take jobs that many US Citizens won't even
consider.
As for free food and medical... If the governments policy allows it, that's
a price we pay. Either change the policy, or quit complaining. Again, this
is the governments fault, not the fault of the immigrants.
