Cheap at twice the cost.The long term cost of not removing the illegals is far greater.Get on with it.They are leaving Georgia because of the new laws and housing downturn.Thank God.

It might be worth another $100 billion to resettle them back in Mexico. Total Cost $200 billion. Estimated costs of illegals in the USA will run to 1.5 trillion over x years. I don’t recall the exact number. That number was put out a couple months ago.

...the American president [Bush] for his announcement today that he would propose spending an additional $30 billion over five years to fight AIDS in Africa, doubling the U.S. commitment.

Not a problem at all. Simple extinguish this one program and we're about 1/3rd of the way to paying for it.

It would cost at least $94 billion to find, detain and remove all 12 million people believed to be staying illegally in the United States, the federal government estimated Wednesday.

There is no need to do that and Bush and every other amnesty pusher knows that.

Build the GD fence you funded.

Start arresting employers of illegals. Real arrests not dog-and-pony photo-op arrests.

Well, will you look at that...our annual foreign aid budget is about $30 billion dollars a year. That's cash handouts to third world countries (you know, those third world countries that our workers are supposed to be competing against?).

Cut that program and we're now 2/3rds of the way there. Wait another year and we're all the way there.

That’s a government estimate, so the real cost will be at least 3 times that.

If you think of the expenditure by ICE not as an expense against the treasury of the Republic, but instead as an investment in the financial stability of the stressed component systems in the Republic, (Education, Law Enforcement, Welfare, Medicaid, etc), the ROI of this $300 billion dollars would be the best investment the US government has made for the American citizenry since the Marshall plan.

Investing $300 billion of the Social Security trust fund would return a better ROI over the next 5 or 10 years period, than any other investment the trust fund could make towards securing the promised and paid for financial and government services that the Social Security Trust Fund is tasked to perform.

In comparison, the Social Security trust fund brings in only an estimated 3.5% ROI historical average for the last 2 decades. Is there any doubt that compounded over 10 years the removal and guest worker registration of 12 million illegals would bring in a better return for the Baby Boomers?

a bargain compared to giving them healthcare, welfare, education and other things

It all comes down to this -- what price do we put on our country?

With systematic crack-downs on employers by both the states and the feds and starting with the largest companies, most illegals will return to Mexico since they won't be able to find employment.

The remaining ones can be given their choice -- either return to Mexico or face mandatory 20 years at hard labor. Since these people are obviously criminals and unfit parents, their children can become wards of the state back in Mexico or, failing that, given up for adoption right here.

I'm sick of playing games with these scumbags.

Money well spent — could probably raise a public bond to cover it in about a week.

Julie Myers, the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, gave the figure during a hearing before a Senate committee Wednesday.

BS- This sounds like another governmentally affiliated scab trying to make another buck. She should be charged that amount until the job is completed.

100B to secure our country, make our cities safer, reduce the cost of healthcare and other social services, lower insurance rates, and open jobs to American Citizens.

Dang. That's a frigging bargain.

Julie Myers?

PPPPPPpffffffffffftttttttttttt.

Strict workplace enforcement and cutting off all social services is all that’s needed. They will self deport. This has already been proven.

Myers is using faulty logic.

As is being proven in State after State, if you begin to tighten the noose on the illegals with hard new laws, many of them will self deport.

That saves us tons of money.

Our problems with the illegals would disappear if the elite in mexico would pay their peons a living wage and furnish the freebies they are getting from the US.
