U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested 59 people in a raid April 8 at Lansdowne Resort near Leesburg.

Imagine how much money it is going to cost to process, house, provide health care, and then transport/deport these "immigrants": guess who pays?

That was probably McCain's margin of victory this November, right there.

Good riddance.

Now, if they're serious they can go visit the 7-Eleven parking lot at the corner of Elden Street and Alabama Avenue in Herndon.

Any day of the week.

Early morning would be best.

Does this mean the Caddy Shack is empty at the golf course?

It will cause a lot less than allowing them to stay. We're already paying for their healthcare, welfare, etc.

Oh, this has to be made up. We all know George Bush doesn't allow the arrest and/or deportation of illegals.

How about this:

“All of the people arrested will be interviewed by ICE personnel, Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Immigration Health Services staff, and offered access to Social Services to record any medical, sole-caregiver or other humanitarian situations.

Based on these interviews, ICE will determine whether detainees remain in custody or are considered for humanitarian release. In all cases, undocumented immigrants will be fingerprinted and processed for removal from this country.”

Believe me: this is going to cost big bucks, so multiply that by the MILLIONS and you can see that illegal immigrants’ crimes actually do COST the country versus whatever they supposedly CONTRIBUTE to our economy.

Yeah, it's gonna cost.

It's worth it ... put pressure on the illegals, and the POS who hire them. If it starts to be "no fun, being an illegal alien" some of them will self-deport. That doesn't cost us a dime.

What are attempting to say?

That it's not worth deporting them?

The bill for all of all that money-saving, cheap labor should be sent to Lansdowne Resort.

The same people who have been providing them free health, education, and subsidized housing services for years. But maybe it will end for this bunch of thieves, but they need to send the women as well.

Come On folks, give the relevant data. Here it is from the Article:

"Through analysis of the I-9 forms, ICE agents identified information that led them to suspect that many of the employees were using fraudulent documents or had stolen someone else's identity to secure jobs at the resort. "

So they are actually looking at those I-9 forms.

“Two female workers were released at the site for humanitarian concerns”

These two were probably pregnant with their anchor babies. To avoid “breaking up families” an additional 60 illegals will move to Leesburg.

“What are attempting to say? That it’s not worth deporting them?”

Not at all: what I’m saying is that whatever “contribution” illegals make is offset by both benefits they recieve AND the cost of arresting, housing and hopefully, deporting them, which, just in this case alone will probably wind up costing MILLIONS, so look at what we’re in for if ICE/et al DOES become proficient in doing their job.

5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html

11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border.

Homeland Security Report
http://www.house.gov/mccaul/pdf/Investigaions-Border-Report.pdf

12. The National Policy Institute, ‘estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.’
http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/publications.php?b=deportation

13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin.

14. ‘The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States’.
http://www.drdsk.com/articles.html#Illegals

The total cost is a whooping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR !
