Kyle said they could build a very good fence for $2 billion!

I wonder what the costs involved are going to be in suing AZ?

Thus POTUS is agenda driven and that agenda doesn't bode well for our sovereignty.

Plus 300 BILLION in foreign aid to their government.

Eventually, it add up that your tribe is paying for everyone.

First, actual cost to taxpayers is at least double, since about 1/2 of households do not pay taxes.

Second, eliminate all aid to Mexico. Let the country tax remittances sent from families in the U.S.

The Fed’s lack of enforcement turns our states into piles of manure, and they expect us to call it roses.

Even the old, weak and disabled blacks are getting screwed big time.

It was never about helping the ‘with-outs’, it was strickly
about taking over by pulling the wool over everyones eyes.

$133 billion a year? Chicken feed, and a bargain at TWICE the price, compared to what the Muslim President is currently adding to the deficit!

" Free medical, free education, free food, free day care etc., etc, etc."

If the taxpayers are laboring
to pay their taxes
so that illegals can have their free stuff

that means that the illegals are the masters
and we are their slaves

"While they may be costing some of us money, others are saving money on cheap labor for home improvement projects."

What happens if the "cheap labor" source injures himself on my property and decides to sue me?

That’s the dream of the politicians in DC and the execs in the boardrooms. That explains why everyone is so worried about the blue collar support behind Brewer and Palin.

Why would an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF
want to crack down ... on ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?


Let's examine
I refer you to Birth Certificate Vs. Certification Of Live Birth.
But you STILL WON'T ACCEPT THE TRUTH that

Here is some more information and links


I have several witnesses, that have proven to me that Barack Hussein Obama II was born in Kenya.

First witness, Barack Hussein Obama II himself:
The above artice is also found at FreedomsPhoenix.com.
They have a great spoof Birth Certificate you just gotta' see.
Also view the video at Proof Obama Admits He Was Born In Kenya.


Second witnesses, his mother and father, indirectly through their divorce papers. I believe that "indeterminate person" probably SAW the Obama Dunham Divorce Documents BEFORE Page 11 disappeared and viewed the Kenyan Birth Cerfiticate,
thereby telling Ed Hale
The Obama Dunham Divorce Documents are viewable at this location.
There's a great assumption of the time lime at at link.

Third witness, is Barack Hussein Obama II's grandmother,Sarah Hussein Obama:
View the video Barack Obama - Born in Kenya II at Youtube.com.
Watch and LISTEN to the video BARACK OBAMA - BORN IN KENYA - The Documentary - STUNNING!
and prove it to yourself.
Also watch Affidavit and Tape-Proof Obama Born in Kenya.

The fourth witness, Tim Adams,
(It is now confirmed by Hawaii that Tim Adams did indeed work as a senior elections clerk in 2008)The Fifth witness, Michelle Obama.
The Sixth Witness, Kenyan Ambassador Peter Ogego:
The Seventh Witness, James Orengo (the Kenyan Parliament Minister of Lands):

The Eighth Witness, Lucas Daniel Smith,


Case CLOSED!!!

As I recall my comment, there was no race distinction: Anyone who is old, diabled or weak is a target.

The ADA laws were set in place to help those with disabilities, but in enacting them, the laws helped a lot of seniors because as we age, we become weak and disabled with various diseases that have a late onset in life.

Because the disabled draw social security classified as disability, the funding affects them as well as the seniors. And it’s across all races and classes of people. There is no distinction between them. The only criteria being that they are dependent on the government for their livlihood.

Although there are programs to help them get better services, even those programs are cut. It’s not pretty, no matter who it happens to.

And 20 million illegal alien families times $20,000 per family per year comes to $400 BILLION PER YEAR.

The figures I've seen estimate 20 million illegal aliens, not illegal alien families. If you figure 4 per family, then you get $100 billion per year; pretty much in line with the figure in the article.

What about the cost of the tens of billions they send back to Mexico that does not get spent here in the US. In a booming economy it is not noticed so much but now it is contributing to no or negative economic growth (jobs).”

I have achallenge for Freepers:

Get out your phone book & find the Western Union station closest to you. Many are in the grocery stores.

Go there on a Friday afternoon or a Saturday morning.

Just sit & watch the parade of persons lined up to send their money south of our borders.

Get an eyeful & pass this info on to others.

Be prepared to be shocked.

Cost to US Taxpayers = $113,000,000,000 per year
Length of US-Mexico Border = 1,969 miles

We could take the equivalent of what illegal immigrants cost us EACH YEAR, and invest that money into building one monstrous wall, at the cost of $57,389,537 per mile, or $10,869 per FOOT.

One year’s worth. I’m just sayin’.”

I second that motion.

Excellent calculations !!!

Puts it all into perspective.

Personal observation: I went today (100 degree temp. predicted) to Home Depot to buy ACs. At 11:30 am there were about 40 hispanics hanging around hoping for work. When I left at 2 pm, there were about 25. On other occasions I have seen as many as 100. While they may be costing some of us money, others are saving money on cheap labor for home improvement projects.”

In So Calif, before I left there, Home Depot was building ‘shelters’ from the sun & weather for the illegals who were hounding shoppers for day work.

I got so mad that I have not returned to a Home Depot store since 1992.

They are part of the problem much more than they are part of the solution.

That's because the estimates you see are deliberately low [so as to lull you into a false sense of security].
 
We probably have at least 60 million Mexican/Guatemalan/El Salvadoran Indians and their anchor babies in the USA now - maybe even 80 million.

Thanks...I didn’t expect it to be that drastic, but after calculating, I myself was blown away!

Glenn Beck needs to hammer these numbers home!

” were hounding HD shoppers for day work”

These guys were clustered under small trees, and rarely approach anybody. Sometimes they smile and wave. I think they must have a raproachment with HD. Don’t bug the shoppers and we won’t chase you away.
