How much do illegals cost us really? Compared to how much they give us or how Bush-cheney have cost us with their war in Iraq, deficit spending and gas gouging buddies? It's really no comparison. In fact here in California the Enron-Bushie energy company gouging was what bankrupted us, not anything to do with illegals. In fact illegals may even be a net plus for our economy. Plus wealthy Bushies are the most eager to hire illegal aliens. They are the ones who need cheap servants the most. Why do you think Bush fights for illegal immigration and does nothing about the border? Because his pals make fat profits off those illegals.

>Seems like we're already doing that by allowing illegals to come across the border, no? Perhaps... I haven't weighed in on that topic though! Not my intellectual territory right now. >By the way, if your presumption is true, and we've made our fortune "upon the backs" of poorer countries, then wouldn't it be a slap in the face to give their governments 1% of our GDP? The money doesn't have to go to their governments. I'm sure we could come up with a better way. -Z
