The Dems will give away America for some votes........What trash.....
$22 billion from $338 billion still leaves $316 billion being spent for lawbreakers...
Agreed. But I just wanted to clarify that statement because I don't want to knowingly post false information. I did go back and read through most of the others and so far what they said was all true.

For the record: both Houses of Congress and the White House were controlled by the Republican Party 2001-06------and; during that time we were inundated by illegal immigrants.
I am ready to give the Dems a chance this fall-------this coming from one angry Republican.

most of what you posted was false, but i don't feel like going through all of them.

Actually no they are not, I already went through them. But thanks for the heads up on the one! But I think that the post threads should be one, since there is no sense in this being discussed on two different threads. My bad for not realizing it was already posted.

You haven't included the costs of displaced Americans that now live in poverty. They apply for social welfare and add to social costs too. There are up to 40,000,000 US citizens in this country living below the poverty line most of whom would jump at an opportunity to earn a decent wage.. and they would pay their taxes at a higher rate of incidence meaning more revenue for the government and would also spend their money here in this country instead of sending it out of the country. Oh there's all kinds of intrinsic reasons to end illegal immigration.
OOPS! I didn't realize that someone had already posted this info before. Seems a bit redundant to have it in two threads. Perhaps the mods could combine them both.
I already conceeded on the one point you made, you were correct, it was about immigrants, not ILLEGAL immgrants. However, I've gone through the others and they seem spot on.
However, I do think it's important to stress that illegal immigrants come from many different countries, not just Mexico!
For example: According to the Federation For American Immigration Reform, there are thousands from many countires here illeagally. These are old numbers, if anyone has an update, please add it. Thanks!
