BOHICA, folks -- BOHICA. (Bend Over, Here It Comes Again)
12 million? How many lettuce pickers do we need? Has anyone ever seen a number of immigrants that this country really needs? And yes, it would be difficult to deport that many people but it will never happen if we don't start.

Fed-Mexico plan eases bank transfers
By Jerry Seper
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
December 8, 2006
The Federal Reserve Bank and Banco de Mexico are jointly touting a new program known as "Directo a Mexico" that will allow U.S. banks and financial institutions to more easily send money transfers to bank accounts in Mexico.
Offering "more pesos for every dollar," the first-time program gives U.S. banks and financial institutions direct electronic access to more than 41 million accounts in Mexico, but U.S. law-enforcement authorities and others fear it could be abused by migrants illegally in this country, crime syndicates and would-be terrorists.
The taxpayer-subsidized program "seems designed to facilitate the transfer of wealth by illegal immigrants to bank accounts outside the United States," said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a Washington-based public watchdog agency.
Mr. Fitton said the program "undermines our nation's immigration laws and is a potential national security nightmare."
Elizabeth McQuerry, a vice president for the Federal Reserve's retail payments office in Atlanta, said the program's goal is "to make cross-border payments more efficient."
... While those who either send or receive money under the program are expected to have established legal residency in the United States, the Federal Reserve Bank has no responsibility to ensure that they have. Mrs. McQuerry said that under existing federal regulations, the banks who participate in the program have the duty to ensure that their clients qualify legally.
"It would be impossible for the Federal Reserve to know all of the banks' customers," she said. She noted that 26,000 of the 27,000 account holders are receiving some form of Social Security benefits.
I'm just about ready to go to the window as directed by the guy in "Network"!
What are the Washington elites gaining by giving the country away? Has anyone fiugred it out? I sure can't.
Stick a fork in this country...it's done. Stock up on your firearms and see how long you can survive.
