[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 202974, member: 1246"] So often, we get caught up in a debate over political semantics and end up ignoring the hard-shell realities of what we're talking about. According to <[URL="http://immigrationcounters.com/"][U][COLOR=#0000ff]http://immigrationcounters.com/[/COLOR][/U][/URL]> immigrationCounters.com, Here are some of the realities that Flake-Gutierrez Bill would airbrush out of the picture: Number of Illegal Aliens in the Country 20,807,645 Money Wired to Mexico City since January, 2006 $22,213,001,672.00 Cost of Social Security Services for Illegal Aliens since 1996 $397,450,739,563.00 Number of C hildren of Illegal Aliens in Public Schools 3,958,789 Cost of Illegal Aliens in K-12 Since 1996: $13, 965,063,431.00 Number of Illegal Aliens Incarcerated 332,594 Cost of Incarcerations Since 2001 $1,398,127,429.00 Number of Illegal Aliens Fugitives 642,799 Skilled Jobs Taken by Illegal Aliens 9,872,838 Figures can trick your eyes. Take particular note that items 2,3,5, and 7 reflect BILLION not millions of dollars and that item 3 exceeds one-t hi rd of a TRILLION dollars. Can you imagine how much it will cost taxpayers if we triple the number of Illegals entering t hi s country!! **************** So, What's in a Billion?....... Granted................. this is from the US ! The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending your tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases. A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet. E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it. While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans . It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division . . Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number, what does it mean? a. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), y ou each get $516,528. b. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787. c. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012. Washington , DC . .... HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken?? This is too true.........And these numbers don't lie.........and, it's not funny!!! WHAT AN EYE-OPENER! [/QUOTE]
