Dean Martin sends Napolitano $1B bill (More fighting back)

Arizona Treasurer Dean Martin sent U.S. Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano a bill for $1 billion Wednesday.

As Arizona governor Napolitano had penchant for sending invoices to the Bush administration asking the federal government to reimburse Arizona for the costs of illegal immigration, border security and incarcerating illegal immigrants.

“The cost of illegal immigration has exhausted the Arizona State Treasury,” said Martin. “In order to pay for the federal government’s responsibility of securing our national borders and incarcerating individuals who enter the United States illegally and commit crimes, the state has incurred hundreds of millions of dollars of debt to pay these bills.”

Martin, who is considering a run for governor, cited Napolitano’s invoices to Bush in his press release announcing the $1 billion bill.

Ya think? It’s a good one. Do to Janet what she did to Bush.

“Publicity stunt.”

Yes, but it sure does throw this back in Napalitano’s lap.

Illegals cost us a fortune.

RE “Illegals cost us a fortune.”

What about the ‘jobs Americans wont take’ ??
How about ‘our fast growing economy’ running out of available workers?
Remember those arguments from early 2007?

Democrats would be insane to try this with unemployment at 10%

Solution:

- form large chain gangs of illegal immigrants in AZ, have Sherriff Joe supervise

- Build a 2 layer border fence along AZ border

- use AZ companies, AZ sourced materials, AZ engineers

- begin deporting ALL illegal aliens from AZ

Excellent!

I hope we all make the attempt to elect governors who are willing to exercise state sovereignty. These next elections aren’t just about Congress...

“Democrats would be insane to try this with unemployment at 10% “

22-25,000,000 new Democrat voters?

Not insane, just evil.

The Dems are just daring us....

Truth be told...if California was smart enough to figure it out...its exhausted as well from illegals.

RIDING THE US GRAVY TRAIN---THE SAGA OF PEDRO An illegal alien w/ wife and five children violates our borders. He gets a job mowing loans for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that low wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, so each year, he files an Income Tax Return to get "EITC---earned income credit" of up to $3,200 scot-free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps and no deductible, no co-pay free health care. His children get free school breakfasts and lunches. The kids qualify for monthly SSI checks by faking ADD; the illegal and his wife get SSI by faking being aged, blind or disabled; SSI qualifies them for Medicare.

Plus illegals don't have to worry about pricey items like car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance, and they qualify for relief from high energy bills.

ALL OF THAT IS COLLECTED WITH JUST ONE IDENTITY Evidence shows illegals establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents (which these "poor immigrants" buy from document brokers for several thousand dollars). All those phony identities vote, too.

The illegal gravy train increases our costs---state and federal taxes, homeowners and auto insurance, utilities and healthcare, so that greedy illegals---violating our borders with their hands out----can enjoy a perpetual free ride on the US gravy train.

“Nel blu dipinto di blu”

[sickoflibs]

I understand Dem’s rationale except illegals cant vote immediately after passage and if they try to pass it and fail again (to pass it) they will have the same election disaster Republicans did with no future gains.

What is nice about this is it puts McCain on record. MSNBC Morning Joe Politico reported McCain is just ‘acting conservative’ to get through his primary.

I know all that liz, I posted a Heritage Foundation study on this (how much illegals cost) back in 2007.

I was just pointing out how idiotic the pro-amnesty arguments were. ‘We need those workers’ LOL

I knew that something like this would turn up in this thread!

Laughing my tush off! Thank you.
