The Cost Of War In Iraq vs. The Cost Of Illegal Immigration
February 12, 2008
Often when the anti-war folks rant and rave about why they feel our Troops should leave Iraq, one of the reasons they give is what they believe is the exhorbiant amounts of money we’re spending to finance the war. Often, they’ll even claim that the reason our country is headed for a recession is because of the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Honestly, I have to call bullshit on that claim. Especially after reading the following information that I recently received.
A few days ago, I received information about the cost of illegal immigration in our country as opposed to the cost of the war on terror and quite frankly, I was amazed. I never realized just how much money we were spending. Spending on people who have entered our country illegally! I checked the facts provided and became more and more convinced that our priorities as a nation are totally screwed up. Quite honestly, I don’t want my tax dollars paying for welfare and other benefits to someone who enters our country illegally. As far as I’m concerned, they should be immediately sent BACK to their country of orgin, and receive NO benefits from our country whatsoever. If they can’t follow the proper proceedures to enter our country the legal way, then they don’t deserve to be here and they sure don’t deserve any benefits. I’ll provide the information that I received, as well as links, so that you can verify the information for yourself. I think most of our readers will be as disturbed about this as I am.

I don’t know about you all, but I’d much rather my tax dollars be spent to ensure that the men and women servinng in our Armed Forces are able to continue to do their jobs in Iraq and Afghanistan, than to foot the bill for Illegal Immigrants in this country. I’m outraged that we’re spending that much to take care of these people, who could give a damn about our country and what it stands for. The only reason that they’re here is to take advantage of our generosity. Why the hell else do you think that Illegal Immigrants call the United States, “The Land Of The Big PX?” This is truly disturbing and disgusting. Next time someone uses the excuse of the cost of the war, as a reason to bring our Troops home, feel free to provide them with this information.

Terri I just learned this information as well. This is shocking. I’ve posted on this same subject and I actually have a liberal progressive socialist troll telling me that we can’t remove the illegals - he sites crazy reasonings. His defense of the illegals made me wonder if he himself is an illegal alien.
I’m with you, that money needs to be given to our troops to fight the war and also to the troops and their families! Those are the deserving ones of these funds.
Terri,
The DoD system blocked Soldier’s Mind for some reason and I have trouble getting on much. They have not blocked Flopping Aces, which I also write for. If you do not mind, I would like to cross post this there.
Feel free Chris. I noticed that too from my office, that I wasn’t able to get back onto the blog. That occurred right after Thanksgiving.
Twana, my thoughts are there are many, many things the money being spent on Illegal Immigrants could be spent for. I wouldn’t mind them spending it on anything, other than the illegals, if they didn’t want to use it to pay our Troops. Things like the healthcare system that they scream about needing fixed, getting people off welfare, etc, etc.
