The Pork of it All

President Obama plans to begin addressing the country’s immigration policy this year, including looking for a path for 12 million illegal immigrants to become legal. The Federal government just has no idea how to handle this run-away problem. Have you ever noticed that this 12 million figure NEVER changes? It has been the same number for years now. All you have to do is Google and find STATS and you will learn that the number of illegals is nearly double that. I would bet that nearly half our City is made up of illegal immigrants, the ghost population.

There is belief that the illegals comprise of up to 40 million in our country. The odds of even guessing how many are here is like playing the lottery. All we know is, we see hordes of them every day in our City. We read the crime statistics. It just won’t go away because our local politicians encourage the madness and break the law.


Roy Beck, of Numbers USA is right when he said, “It just doesn’t seem rational that any political leader would say, let’s give millions of foreign workers permanent access to jobs when we have millions of Americans looking for jobs.” Roy Beck is the executive director of Numbers USA, a group that favors reduced immigration. Mr. Beck predicted that Mr. Obama would face “an explosion” if he concentrated on illegals right now.

We, as taxpayers, are spending our borrowed money and putting an albatross around the necks of our children ( the Stimulus Plan) with a large part of it to keep illegals in jobs in our country. Insane?

President Obama just announced that he will be spending $400 million to upgrade security along the U.S./Mexican border. This is a pittance and an insult to the American citizen particularly when you consider that $7.7 billion dollars is going towards “pork projects."
