#1 But ... but ... I thought all those illegals were a net positive to society!

#2 That's a lot of graft.

#3 No, they are ready for all us "freeloaders" living outside of the Peoples Democratic Republic of Caliphornia to pay for it.

#4 The wall needs to start at the California border.

Shame about the deep water ports.

#5 And the official estimates provided by government agencies are always low. With an influx of illegals to the new freebie, sanctuary state expect the real bill to be 600-800 billion.

#6 Appears we may be spending money on the WRONG border wall.

#7 But when you ask them whether they would support it if taxes went up for most people, and then 63% oppose it.

As long as it's paid for with other people's money, I want more of it! Unexpectedly!

#8 Ricardo Lara has been in the news a lot lately. He's an up and coming political star, he is.

As for an additional 15% on top of my already onerous state income tax, well, North Carolina is looking better all the time. But there is hope in history. Former Governor Gray Davis was recalled when it was found the state had run up a $26 billion deficit. That pales in comparison to $400 billion. When you start after people's money that way, party affiliation might not be as important as Lara thinks.

#9 Abu, SC is way better than NC. Every tax you can mention is lower across the border except for a slight difference in the income tax rate (but SC allows you to deduct more.) My wife and I crossed over 8 years ago and have never looked back.

#10 Tom, what is your opinion of the Aiken area?
