An Eye-opener

[fourkidsmom]

So often, we get caught up in a debate over political semantics and end up ignoring the hard-shell realities of what we're talking about. According to mmigrationCounters.com, here are some of the realities that Flake-Gutierrez Bill would airbrush out of the picture:

Number of Illegal Aliens in the Country
20,807,645

Money Wired to Mexico City since January, 2006
$22,213,001,672.00

Cost of Social Security Services for Illegal Aliens since 1996
$397,450,739,563.00

Number of Children of Illegal Aliens in Public Schools
3,958,789

Cost of Illegal Aliens in K-12 Since 1996:
$13,965,063,431.00

Number of Illegal Aliens Incarcerated
332,594

Cost of Incarcerations Since 2001
$1,398,127,429.00

Number of Illegal Aliens Fugitives
642,799

Skilled Jobs Taken by Illegal Aliens
9,872,838



Figures can trick your eyes. Take particular note that items 2,3,5, and 7 reflect BILLION not millions of dollars -- and that item 3 exceeds one-third of a TRILLION dollars.
Can you imagine how much it will cost taxpayers if we triple the number of Illegals entering this country!!

So, What's in a Billion?.......
Granted................. this is from the US !

The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending your tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

IMHO we should give them the option of 5 years service in the US military if thye are of appropriate age and ability in exchange for legal status, not citizenship, legal status or send them home. We need a fence to keep them out, we need to keep this fence patrolled and in good condition and if you see them coming over arrest them and fine them and send them home with their names on a list and if they do it again have more severe consequences. There are thousands of people that came over to this country legally that have payed and waited for their citizenship and now are being pushed aside for these that broke our laws coming over here, broke our laws when they got here, and now we want to reward them by sending them to the front of the line for citizenship and make it easier for them to become citizens? I THINK NOT! These figures only scratch the surface, and yes when we send them home it will hurt our economy initially, but in the long run will help tremendously.
