but what the majority of Americans don't realize is the cost in BILLIONS EVERY YEAR to American taxpayers

Most Americans tend to think in terms of feelings, not numbers. They don't want to talk numbers. They will run away if you talk numbers. Numbers represent reality and that tends to be unpleasant to think about.

You're not kidding, are you? I never knew that was a goal of that group.

well I am still optimistic,
between talk radio and the Internet, I believe more Americans are aware of what the heck is going on more than ever before! And as long as we keep the clowns in D.C.'s feet to the fire there still may be hope. LOL

It repeals a 1996 law that prohibits state universities from offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens. huh? someone tell arkansas, texas and few other states that offer instate tuitions rates to illegals already and for years.

I'm not kidding, unless the author of the article was kidding, and I don't think Schlafly was!

It seems to be a buried fact. But looks like we're going to fund this if our "leaders" get their way.

I think Americans that *choose* to know what is going on have great opportunities to do so these days. As an example, if you want to know what a particular bill is about, it takes only a second to download it. You need not rely on some reporter to tell you what someone else told him or her about it. But then, I don't think most people truly want to know beyond learning about things they want to be true. Understanding the ins and outs of a lot of problems takes some learning...and most people simply will not take the time. As one former Senator told me, "People say they want the truth and the truth is often readily available but the truth tends to be complicated and dull so the truth goes unlearned."

"The problem employers are most likely small businesses and labor contractors looking for cheap labor."

Yep - start fining and/or jailing the dishonest employers. That would put a quick end to the situation.
