If you don’t think our Congress is taking Americans for a ride, think again. According to Dr. Madeleine Cosman, "At least 300,000 to 350,000 anchor babies annually become citizens in California." In 1994, 74,987 anchor babies in maternity units cost taxpayers $215 million in Stockton, California. In 2003, 70 percent of the 2,300 babies born in San Joaquin General maternity ward were from illegal aliens. That number has exploded today with over three million illegal aliens residing in California.

The French economist Frederic Bastiat said, "The unseen is more expensive than the seen." In Stockton, California, the Silverio Family was featured in the Wall Street Journal in 2003. They were fruit pickers who arrived illegally from Oxtotilan, Mexico in 1997. The wife, Felipa had three kids, but popped an anchor baby named Flor. The child was premature and spent three months in a neonatal incubator at a cost to the San Joaquin Hospital of over $300,000.00. They conceived another, Christian. The second baby made them eligible for $1,000 per month welfare. Because Flor is disabled, she receives $600.00 monthly for asthma. Although the illegal aliens made $18,000.00 annually picking fruit, they collected $12,000.00 of your tax dollars for their anchor babies. One night the father, Cristobal crashed his van. He had no license or insurance. Taxpayers paid for all hospital bills. That’s why 77 hospitals in border states were going bankrupt in 2003, but Senator John McCain wrote a rider into the Medicaid Bill for $1.4 billion of your tax dollars. It passed. Not to finish the spending spree on these anchor babies, the children attend California schools at a cost of $7,000.00 per year over and above what their parents pay in taxes. The cost for all five of their children for one school year exceeds $35,000.00 times 18 years for a grand taxpayer total of $630,000.00. This is only one family. No wonder California is $38 billion in debt.

and the strive for more, outside of the corporate view? What impacts will these perceptions have on the long term sustainability of the country, and how do you think that current monetary views are influencing the obvious corruption that is taking place in both government and corporate settings?

George Washington warned us against many thing. One of those things was not to form political parties. Yet that's exactly what we did.

Now look at us. Look at "America the United"; the "United" States.
How are we united? All that political parties do is fight over which one's better and blame the other for everything wrong.

It's a wonder we haven't had a civil war over this yet.

I am not into law, but I was watching a show and it puzzled me. Shouldn't a jury have odd amount of people just so there will "always" be a verdict(never thought about this till now). And in cases when the there is no verdict and the jurors are classified as a "hung jury", what happens to the defendant?

In most cases the political banter is enjoyable and stimulating. Too many people are acting in an insidious manner and should either not read or respond to questions they disagree with, but please let us stop the reporting. FREE SPEECH IS ALL and must remain so and not give Y! Answers the opportunity to censor us.

...their platform looked like this:

a) 10% flat tax rate

b) mandatory domestic military service of 1 year prior to age 25

c) life in prison with no chance of parole for the following crimes: murder, attempted murder, pedophilia, computer sabotage (viruses and hacking), terrorism (can be anything from dropping objects from overpasses to blowing up bombs), treason (aiding any enemy of the state, including financing terrorist groups). The list would probably grow with further discussion.

d) No clemency for young offenders. If you can do the crime, you can do the time.

e) long prison sentences (5 years or more) for politicians who are guilty of corruption.

f) freedom of religion (including the right to believe in morals and to preach about them)

g) 75% (or more) of the profits from government-owned companies are shared with taxpayers via rebate cheques. This is tax-free.

Front Page Story by Mark Mazzetti of the New York Times quotes the conclusions of the National Intelligence Estimates which attributes a more direct role to the Iraq war in fueling radicalism worldwide than the White House or the Republican's in Congress want the American people to know.
The sources compare the spread of terroism to a rapidedly spreading cancer.
