The National Research Council has estimated that the net fiscal cost of all immigration (legal and illegal) ranges from $11 billion to $22 billion per year.
The current cost of the war in Iraq is $432,265,000,000 and counting since March 20th, 2003 when the invasion began. For the mathematically challenged thats over 100 Billion dollars a year not to mention the lives of over 3000 American soldiers.
Many of you Y/A posters are on here vehemently challenging and complaining about how much illegals are costing us yet you give the pass to the war which cost 5 to 10 times more. I don't know about you but if the wind blew a dollar out of my hand in one direction and a dime fell and rolled the other direction, I would go after the dollar first.
IMO most of you pro-war, anti-immigration types are chasing the dime. Your thoughts?
