Here's a another link from the bottom of the Yahoo article you posted showing that our government is a far greater problem than Illegal immigrants as far as $$ goes.:sick: [URL='http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2015/03/18/Government-s-125-Billion-Slap-Face-Taxpayers']The Government’s $125 Billion Slap in the Face to Taxpayers[/URL] Despite the Obama administration’s attempts to curb the billions of improper payments federal agencies dole out each year, the problem is actually getting worse.
