The Real Cost of Illegal Immigration
WHY is the USA BANKRUPT?

We have been hammered with the propaganda that it was the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I also have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts...

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments. Verify at: http://www.fairus.org/site/PageServer?pagename=iic_immigrationissuecenters7fd8 

2. $22 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. Verify at:http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.HTML 

3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens. Verify at:

4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! Verify at:http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANscriptS/0604/01/ldt...0.HTML

5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. Verify athttp://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANscriptS/0604/01/ldt.01.HTML

6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. Verify at:

7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens. Verify at:http://transcripts.CNN..com/TRANscriptS/0604/01/ldt..01.HTML

8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers. Verify at:http://premium.cnn.com/TRANSCIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.HTML 

9. $200 Billion dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. Verify at: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRI

13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home$45 BILLION in remittances to their countries of origin. Verify at: http://www/..rense.com/general75/niht.htm 

14. The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One million sex crimes committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States. Verify at: http: //www.drdsk.com/articleshtml

The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AND IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, 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.

BILL HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!


This is a re-post from my FB page, it is honest and forthcoming, and given to all of us by a National Treasure, Bill Cosby, whom ALWAYS tells it like it is, period.



BILL HAS DONE IT AGAIN.

They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.
I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...
And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.
And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.
In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.
People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.
The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.
$500 sneakers for what?
And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.
Where were you when he was 2?
Where were you when he was 12?
Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?
And where is the father? Or who is his father?
People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?
Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?
What part of Africa did this come from??
We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa .....
I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid.

I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England , Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa.. So stop, already! ! !

With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap ......... And all of them are in jail.
Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.
We have got to take the neighborhood back.
People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.
We have millionaire football players who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard..
We cannot blame the white people any longer.'

Dr.. William Henry 'Bill' Cosby, Jr., Ed..D.

WELL SAID, BILL
It's NOT about color...
It's about behavior!!!

Gun Safety??!!

"Five people were wounded in accidents at gun shows in North Carolina, Ohio, and Indiana on Saturday, according to authorities."--NBC News 


Three people were wounded in an accidental shooting at a gun shou in NC when a man unzipping the case of his 12-gauge shotgun went off wounding three people with bird-shot pellet. On Ohio, an exhibitor was removing a gun from a box when it went off hitting his partner. and finally a man in Indianapolis shot himself in the hand while unloading his gun. I am going to dissect all three of these, and maybe make some sense out of them. WARNING:  I may be sarcastic at times. 

Here is some background on myself. I was raised by a Marine, who was and avid hunter and fisherman. He had rifles and a shotgun, as well as a pistol he bought while he was in the Marine Corps during WWII (he had a permit issued in 1946 by the Onondaga County Sheriff Dept.).  My father was meticulous, never did he put any of his firearms away dirty or loaded. If he had not gone hunting for a year, he would take his rifles & shotgun out to clean them, one by one, he would remove them and put them back in the locked gun cabinet in our home. His .22 caliber Colt he kept loaded, however without one in the chamber  so an accident would not happen. Whenever he would handle his pistol the very first thing he did was remove the clip, and pull back the slide to make sure that the weapon was not loaded. My brother and I learned these lessons so if we ever chose to have a firearms we would know how to hand them safely. While at this time I do not own a firearm, I do know how to handle one if need be. I did not start attending gun shows until after I was married (when we divorced I still attended them), I loved seeing all of the different models, calibers, and gauges. I enjoyed seeing the 2nd Amendment at work.

WHAT WERE THESE PEOPLE THINKING???? Obviously all of them do not care for their firearms or their firearm would have never been put away loaded!! Ever hear of cleaning your firearm after you have been in the woods hunting buddy? By the way, how does one shoot themselves in the hand while unloading their firearm, clip fall outs, slide pulls back neither of these things will put your hand in front of the barrel, either will opening the chamber of a "six shooter". So now I ask how the hell were you raised? Did you not take a hunter safety course? Or a course on how to load and unload your firearms safely so no one gets hurt??? These people make Elmer Fudd look like "Firearm Owner of the Year".

In the case where the man shot his partner while removing a firearm from a box, my question is this: You have an FFL to buy and sell firearms, did you not remove the firearm from the box to examine it? Remove the clip, or open the chamber to examine them? Pull the slide back to see if it was in working order? Look down the barrel to make sure the barrel was not tampered with? If you failed to do any of these things then you fine sir should have your FFL revoked, permanently!!!

Yes, I know that there are really stupid people out there. At times I am one of them, for me they are my "Blonde Moments", however never are any of these moments when I am around or handling a firearm. Never would I hand someone a firearm that I knew was loaded. What would have happened if one or all of those injured was a child? Let's face it, those of us whom have kids have brought them to a gun show to show them the 2nd Amendment at work. We would hear from those in Washington, "Outlaw Gun Shows", "Revoke All FFL's Except the ATF", it would NOT be pretty nor would any of us be safe from the criminals. 

I will not step off my soapbox, and return you to your normally scheduled programming which is already in progress.

Sandy Hook, The 2nd Amendment & Gun Control

This blog was begun a few days after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. I originally wrote it to relieve the pain I was feeling for all of the lives lost, and for the survivors. This is the finished piece, forgive the delay. 

First and foremost I am a mother, that means like every other mom & dad out there, I am grieving. Grieving for twenty children who will never graduate from high school or college, get married, have babies. My heart hurts for every parent who lost a child my prayers are with them. With that said I am also a patriot, that means I believe that the Constitution is the "Law of the Land" and should not be struck down because people choose tyranny over freedom.  

When are we going to stop talking about "GUN CONTROL" and begin to talk about the true underlying problem with the latest tragedy, and the rest of the mass shootings that have been in the news lately, "MENTAL HEALTH"? Last time I looked there is a question sections on most if not every gun permit/license form in the United States. The following questions are found on the OH Concealed Carry Weapons application*:

(13)  (a) Have you ever been adjudicated as mentally incompetent or mentally defective?
         (b) Have you ever been committed to a mental institution?
         (c) Have you ever been involuntarily committed to a mental hospital or facility for purposes             other than observation?
         (d) Have you ever been adjudicated as mentally defective (which includes having been adjudicated as: incompetent to manage your own affairs or ever been committed to a mental institution?

When are the powers that be going to understand that more "GUN CONTROL" only works when every illegal gun comes off the street? Chicago has the toughest "gun laws" in the country, yet they have the highest murder rate per capita of any city in the United States. I am NOT talking about the "justifiable homicides" in which a homeowner, business owner or person whom was being threatened by a "criminal", I am talking about the homicides that were committed with ILLEGAL FIREARMS. 

CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY THEY LAW!!!! They obtain firearms from other criminals, shady dealers, or through thefts of homeowners and gun/pawn shops. The firearms the criminals obtain often have had the serial numbers ground of or have been obliterated by acid. The sellers DO NOT do background checks, wait three days, or sell trigger guards, barrel locks, lock boxes, or gun safes. They sell ILLEGALLY obtained weapons from the street corner, a trunk in a parking lot, someone's brother, uncle, aunt, sister, etc. The criminals also have someone rework many firearms to become automatic, which by the way every RESPONSIBLE firearm owner knows are illegal to obtain or own. Criminals have networks to dispose of  these "ILLEGAL FIREARMS" after they have been used in a crime.   

The U.S. Constitution is like the Ten Commandments....they ARE NOT suggestions. The are rules we all live by. The first is the law of  the land, the second is about personal responsibility. 

Owning a firearm comes with responsibility!!! It is the owner's responsibility to get training on the firearm he or she possesses; it is also the owner's responsibility to keep the firearm under lock and key, which includes a trigger lock and/or a lock box. While my good friends & family whom know me well, know I do not hunt, however they know how feel about my 2nd Amendment rights. 

Do NOT take 2nd Amendment rights away from the responsible gun owners because of a few who. Does it become a slippery slope to revoke other Amendments to the Constitution because they are not good for us?
