Thanks for the ping. I am totally disgusted that there is not more coverage in the MSM. The only ones who are pushing for more illegal immigration are our Congress members, big business, and special interest groups.
I think more people would be concerned if they only read this excerpt:
"In California, for example, immigrant households account for 50 percent of all households using at least one major welfare program; in New York it’s a third; and in Florida, Texas, New Jersey, and Arizona immigrant households account for between half and a third of those receiving welfare."
Everyone screams about our out of control spending and how we should be controlling it....the first step is to quit spending money on welfare for those who enter illegally or refuse to work for a living (IMPO). Taxpayers should start standing up and demanding that Congress and Pres. Bush enforce the immigration laws on the books and not to allow any more "amnesty" for illegals.
Enough is enough.
Enough is enough? I keep asking the pro illegal group, HOW many is enough? They won't answer.
This is from FoxNews a while back:

But a poll released this week from the Center of Immigration Studies/Zogby International may complicate matters for President Bush, who has said he supports some form of amnesty.
According to the poll, 55 percent of U.S. citizens — including 51 percent of Hispanics —believe it’s a "very bad idea" to grant amnesty. And 33 percent of Hispanics said they would be less likely to vote for Bush if he continued to pursue amnesty.
"The payoff (for supporting amnesty) is supposed to be greater support from Hispanics, but there seem to be no indication of that," said Steve Camarata, director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies.
Bush has made courting the Hispanic vote a cornerstone of his political agenda, and his support for amnesty was widely believed to be in keeping with that strategy.
