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.

Are we THAT stupid?


If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including every elected representative in Washington, D.C. - five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof.

Both are costing us too much. The war is also costing the lives of young men and of course innocent Iraqis caught in the crossfire/bombings.

How many American lives do you think illegal aliens are costing us? Our military men and women peforming their duty in Iraq know what to expect but that's not true of our children, brothers, sisters, mothers, ect. that die as a direct cause of illegal immigration. It's one thing to die for your country in a foreign land, however, it is something all together different to die in your own country by the hands of someone who isn't supposed to be there. Whether we belong in Iraq or not is debatable but there is no debate when it comes to illegal aliens in the United States.
