| I got this via email a bit ago. Didn't do any fact checking. The links are mostly there. I don't have CNN premium membership so I couldn't really check that one. The pdf file on the mass deportation document seems to be for sale now. Anyone have a link for that one? Or a link for #4? Also, number 14 seems to have gone AWOL, so I don't know if it's real or not. I wonder if this is all taken into account using the accrual method that Congress seems to eschew so much whenever they bring up the topic of Social Security. This first link seems to be the original material, or at least more original than mine. http://rense.com/general79/seniors.htm 1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://tinyurl.com/zob77 2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html 3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html 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! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.0.html Note page not found on 12/19/07 5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html 6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html 7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html 8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare and Social Services by the American taxpayers. 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. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html 10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two-and-a-half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html 11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report. http://tinyurl.com/t9sht 12. The National Policy Institute, "estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period." http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf 13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 MILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm 14.

BofA seems to be offering credit cards to customers lacking Social Security Numbers. http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/bankofamerica.asp |

| #4 Any tally should include those injured as well. There have been a lot of injuries due to illegal immigrant drivers, most if not all are without insurance coverage. And add to the list of expenses the damages paid by the victims of the uninsured illegals for both repair/replacement of vehicles and medical expenses. |

| #3 BoA, IIUC, is getting into the money transfer business a la/in competition with Western Union. Dropped their asses when they charged me (they signed me up) for one of their programs I didn't sign up for and only recoverd about 75% of what they charged, two months later. Any tally out there concerning the number of lives lost each year in situations involving illegals? |

| #2 According to this, it's cheaper to deport them all. $46B a year for five yrs vs. $383.3B a yr if we do not. I'm all for it. It could cost more & I'd be all for it. Sometimes principles and sovereignty are worth taking a hit in the pocket book. |
