Back To Our Future*
America Must Return to Meritocracy

| In
the 1950s America was headed for the moon and beyond, but we
took some wrong turns. It is time we regained control and returned
to that future. -- Glenn Spencer |

Christian Science Monitor -- March 18
The
hidden cost of illegal workers
Low-skilled individuals,
legal or illegal, cost the government much more in services than
they pay in taxes.
....Rector worries about the costs of
opening the country to a new flood of immigrants. A proposed
Senate measure. "would be financially ruinous for the United
States," he charges.
Rector calculated that a bill passed
by the Senate last year would have increased the number of immigrants
gaining legal status over the next 20 years by 55 million to
60 million. Most of those immigrants probably would have less
than a high school education. And since low-skilled individuals,
legal or illegal, cost the government much more than they pay
in taxes, Uncle Sam would be out- of- pocket $70 billion a year.
