Although it hardly addresses the bigger problem of an out of control government that has grown into such a behemoth that it consumes and enslaves taxpayers in its wake --- a large degree of this problem would be alleviated by not providing jobs and taxpayer funded benefits to illegal invaders/squatters.

There was an astonishing fact posted on another thread about California recently. The State Budget was something like $26B in the hole, and they estimated that paying for illegals was costing about $23B. Even with the obvious answer staring them in the face, California's "leaders" won't do the right thing.

Yes - its amazing. We have a 'leadership' class that cares only about growing the size of their personal empire of bureaucrats - and not a whit for the State (or the Nation).
People have murmured on other threads how our Nation is adopting some of the characteristics of the old Soviet Union - with a "Nomenklatura" caste, and those closely associated with the Government, vs. the 'common worker' caste (aka, taxpayers; aka, bitter bible and gun clingers).

I suppose its human nature. You can take the best country and government devised by man (a Constitutional Republic designed to govern - but at the same time, limit the size and power of government) - and yet man's inherent sinful nature (pride and greed) will destroy that over time. Just cling to your Bible and the Truth -- we're strangers passing through a strange land.

Do you have a link to that? I’d love the back up.
