Many more facts and figures are presented in the article.

In other words, good little 'Rat and RINO voters...

Just another core Dimmocrat constituency.

I’d call the illegals beggers, but it’s not fair, they don’t beg. They demand.

I can’t blame these illegals because they have been sent ‘compassionate’ pass that taxpayer plate embossed invitations.

These kinds of issues are where We the People have an increasing problem with Washington....increases in welfare dependents are GOOD for DC...more need for federal bureaucrats and funding...more opportunity to increase agency spending..increase the budget, expand committee power.etc.etc.etc...it is serious. It is why the concept of enforcing existing immigration law is foreign to Washington...and why they’d rather continue playing smoke and mirrors with another piece of legislation.

Is there any reason Mexico might have for trying to keep their poor? They've got too many poor people and a bunch of them want to leave and many of those will send back money once they get to America. Must sound pretty good to the Mexican government.

Are there any reasons a poor Mexican might want to take part in all the freebies here? Heck yeah, and we give them more and more reasons constantly. Judging by all the freebies, our PTB love illegals as much, if not more than their fellow Americans. Besides, the worst thing we would do to them is send them back home. Must sound pretty good to a poor Mexican citizen.

This is an American problem and I am hopeful it becomes a campaign issue. The more people know, the more urgent it will become to actually solve illegal immigration. It can be done. The solutions are obvious for those willing to see them.

We really only need a few miles of 10’ cyclone fence for a large square enclosure that is open on one end, the southern end.
Foreigners breaking our laws have a choice of a tent and `three hots and a cot’ or going home. And an American government that was serious about our budget whould start sending the bills to Mexico.
We’re not their Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare, even if our president and their president think so.
It isn’t complicated: Either our immigration laws are enforced or they are not.

The system we’re implementing is nothing less than slavery lite.

FTA:

>> “According to CIS, 34% of all immigrant households — or 13.3 million — don’t have health insurance.” <<

I don’t believe that for one nano-second! This article is actually saying that 66% DO have health insurance? Bull.

This leaves out what it costs to incarcerate illegals when they arrive and commit crimes (other than trespassing on our property)—jail and prison costs dwarf other expenses like health care and education.

Where’s Old “Turtle Head” Chertoff? Haven’t seen much of him lately.

Is anyone in Washington listening?

Nope.

But, God willing, in about a year we're going to throw the bastards out.

Illegals are becoming a semi-permanent, welfare-dependent underclass.

And therefore a natural fit for the Democrat party "base".
