The cost of 9/11 to New York City alone is over $83 billion...and rising. I can't find the total economic impact to the nation. We are paying to rent a battlefield if that makes it any easier on you.
"Iraq he says, has 60 thousand border guards, protecting them against Iran...Where's our border guards for staying the daily flow of 10 thousands of illegals on our southern borders?"
Two things, that's insulting to our border guards who are out there every night doing their jobs. If you must, call for more of them, but don't ignore their efforts. While I recognize the issues surrounding illegal immigration, they are far from being anywhere near the same as the situation over there.
"...and why would or should WE cut OUR programs?"
Well, so that people woudn't be coming here illegally to abuse them just like the native-born abuse them?
Now that should be in the quote of the day catagory! I don't know who decides these things, but if it were up to me, you would win!
Well said!
