Subject: Mr. Legal vs. Mr. Illegal You have two families: "Mr. Legal" and "Mr. Illegal". Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California. 1.Mr. Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted. Mr. Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table." Ready? Now pay attention... 2. Mr. Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Mr. Legal now has $31,231.00. Mr. Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.0 0 per year. Mr. Illegal pays no taxes. Mr. Illegal now has $31,200.00. 3. Mr. Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Mr. Legal now has $24,031.00. Mr. Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year. Mr. Illegal still has $31,200.00. 4. Mr. Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Mr. Legal now has $18,031.00. Mr. Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Mr. Illegal still has $31,200.00. 5. Mr. Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Mr. Legal now has 9,631 .00. Mr. Illegal receives a $500.00 per month Federal Rent Subsidy. Mr. Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Mr. Illegal still has $31,200.00. 6. Mr. Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. Mr. Legal now has $7,231.00. Mr. Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has $31,200.00. 7. Mr. Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc.. Mr. Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month. 8. Mr. Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work. Mr. Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family and friends. 9. Mr. Legal's and Mr. Illegal's children both attend the same elementary school. Mr. Legal pays for his children's lunches, while Mr. Illegal's children get a government sponsored lunch. Mr. Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Mr. Legal's children go home. 10. Now, when they reach college age, Mr. Legal's kids may not get into a State School and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Mr. Legal has been paying for State Schools through his taxes, while Mr. Illegal's kids "go to the head of the class" because they are a minority. 11. Mr. Legal and Mr. Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Mr. Legal paid for them and Mr. Illegal did not pay. Do you get it, now? If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens... You are part of the problem! We need to make changes ASAP! It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans! credit TARO

Does Obama Have Any Foreign Policy Successes? ....................................................................................................................... by Keith Koffler on February 22, 2014, White House Dossier Excerpt: At all? Any? Just one? The results speak for themselves. Let’s take a short trip around the world to see if we can find any foreign policy successes. Mexico: The country continues to deteriorate into a narcostate, and what’s more Mexicans are none too happy with us for fueling the problem with intentionally sent weapons. South America: Leftism has been in the march throughout the continent during Obama’s presidency. No reversals to speak of. Venezuela remains in ruins, but people there may finally be taking matters into their own hands. Cuba: Cuba still no libre. Canada: Obama has actually created tensions in what is normally our most harmonious relationship by bowing to political influence and taking years to decide on the Keystone pipeline. Europe: Obama does not seems to have developed friendships with any European leaders – the type of relationships that are needed for allies to operate seamlessly. Rather, there seems to be a kind of frostiness and some mistrust. Great Britain: Nothing special anymore about the special relationship. Russia: Reset button needs another press. Turkey: Prime Minister Erdogan is said to be one of the few international leaders with whom Obama has some chemistry. The result? Increasing authoritarianism and Islamicization of a key NATO ally. Syria: While Obama mulls his options, one of the great human disasters of the past 100 years – and that’s saying something – continues to unfold. Israel: U.S.-Israeli relations probably at their worst since Israel’s founding in 1948. Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Secretary of State Kerry on an unlikely mission to gain a peace deal and a peace prize. Egypt: A disaster until the generals took matters into their own hands and threw out the Islamist regime Obama had backed. Libya: After weeks of indecision, Obama orchestrated the ouster of Qadaffi. Now the place is teaming with Islamists, and probably needs . . . a new Qadaffi. Iran: Obama failed to back a serious challenge to the regime, which is now on the cusp of gaining nuclear weapons. Jordan and Saudi Arabia: Mortified at U.S. fecklessness and the prospect of a nuclear Iran Iraq: Obama withdrew all U.S. troops, and the country is once again a killing field and a magnet for al Qaeda-linked extremists. Afghanistan: An insufficient U.S. “surge” kept the Taliban from defeat and primed them to take over once most or all U.S. troops depart. Pakistan: Anti-U.S. anger as we take out bad guys with drones. Not that this is a bad idea. But the relationship doesn’t seem to be getting managed very well. Meanwhile, the Pakistani Taliban gains strength. China: No significant improvement in relations. Highly publicized “pivot” to Asia seems to be antagonizing China into even more aggressive behavior with respect to its neighbors, which the United States is not forcefully enough opposing. Article
