Subj: Has the war been costly...?


You think the war is costing us?



OH! Now I understand!!!

Have you verified those facts via the links, Irish?


...Then why don't some of the links work?!?!

...And really, you should check that the links (those that actually work, I mean) do indeed verify the "facts" like you say they do. That "fact" #2, the one that says that "$2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens," is not verified by the link you provide. There's no point in checking out the rest of the sources you quote, as you are not credible in your reporting of facts.

Prediction:
I'm not responsible. I just got this in an email.

I won't comment on the claimed direct costs, but this was a doozy.

"$200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens."

This says that Americans would be earning higher wages if the cheap labour wasn't holding back wages. If that were true, then that money is still going to Americans (the bosses), so it won't count as a national loss.

Neige,

Annoyingly, several of the links are mistyped. Here are three corrections. They should open in your browser.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRI.../12/ldt.01.html
http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm
http://www.drdsk.com/articles.html

To respond to item #9, if unsuppressed – higher – wages were paid instead of the suppressed – lower – ones, the additional costs would probably be passed along in the form of increased prices. Would this be the preferred solution? If so, would it remain the preferred solution if the increased prices put the products or services beyond the reach of poorer Americans?

I can only repeat what I said before ... if our borders aren't worth protecting ... what is? Do we really not care who enters? Drug dealers? Criminals? Terrorists? Is there any reason we should assume they would not take advantage of an open border policy?

Men and women of ill intent won't let a few borders get in their way.

There are three obvious ways to go:

1. Eject everyone who is not in the States legally,

2. Throw up your hand and open the borders, (probably not a high probability)

or 3. Throw out all the criminal illegals and hang onto all the ones who
have dealt honestly after their illegal entry.

When they have solved that, world peace and cold fusion will be solved by the following Tuesday.

Actually the answer is:

WRONG!I am responsible & this e-mail was just to wake people up over just how much this is costing us.I haven't verified everything but this is just to
wake LEGAL citizens up!If someone wants to nitpick over everything-more
power to them!If people dissaree with anything than don't read it,there is no
mandatory thing that everyone has to agree with everything. Irish
P.S.If everyone agreed on everything,we wouldn't need elections!

Of course, we've got plenty of fine, upstanding, American-born drug dealers, criminals, and terrorists here, as well. I never really understand the assumption that the bulk of the people who will cross the border are from these 3 sociopathic groups. I imagine they comprise the same percentage in just about any population. Most people, though, just want to make a better life for their families, like you and me, and like our great-grandparents did when they came to this country.

I had an ice cold Fusion just the other day. It's an acquired taste. Probably just hasn't gotten around to Merry Olde yet.
