The Federal Government is content with passing more legislation for border security and taking no action to accomplish it. Meanwhile they are continually attempting to pass amnesty legislation and give illegals access to Social Security.

I recently received an e-mail "What Costs More Than the Iraq War?" Since I didn't know, I did some research.

Iraq War…           $ 101.6 Billion

Illegal Aliens…   $ 338.6  Billion

2007 Earmarks… $18-$20 Billion

 

The Congressional ‘Golden Parachute’ may even top those. Sen. Byrd and Congressman White will receive $7,800,000 annually in retirement. Their wives get $275,000 annually after their demise. All on the taxpayer! Compare that to your SS payout!

 

Here are some outstanding ‘PORKERS’ from the 2007 Pork Fest:

 

   * Hillary Clinton (D-NY)                  $728,300,000

   * Barack Obama  (D-IL)                  $118,600,000

   * Harry Reid (D-NV)                       $335,717,010

   *Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)                       $87,096,000

 

Hillary came in second for 2007… topped only by a Republican Thad Cochran of MS who earmarked $773,598,178.

 

The illegals and our own government are bankrupting this

whole country... not just the border counties!

how can they year after year promise to fix this problem for us and do nothing for the american people, all they do steal our money to give to illegal aliens so they can send all the money they make back home, im telling you , the people of america can fix this, vote everyone out of office, i mean every one , then they will know we mean business, please vote them out , i dont care how much or how long they have been in office. please vote them out, i sure am

These counties have only themselves to blame in large measure I spend winters close to Brownsville and all of these counties are just clearing houses for illegals to go further north. They would have to enforce federal immigration law before getting any kind of federal aid.
