Has anyone ever thought about us just making Mexico the 51st state? It would be a lot easier.  You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?

Boy, was I confused.  I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be ridiculous.

I hope you read the following 14 reasons so many times that you get sick of reading them.  I also have included the URLs for verification of all of the following facts.

11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S. from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report:  http://tinyurl.com/t9sht
12. The National Policy Institute estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five-year period. http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportat ion.pdf

The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 billion dollars a year, and if you are having trouble understanding this amount of money, it is $338,300,000,000.00, which would be enough to stimulate the economy for the citizens of this country.

Are we that stupid? Yes, for allowing the criminals in the U.S. Congress get away with this year after year.

If this information creates some righteous anger and indignation, I hope you share it to every legal citizen in this country, including every elected representative in Washington, D.C. - five times a week, for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of honesty and intelligence to our government policies and enforcements.
