The Sky-High Costs Of President Obama's Immigration DREAM
It is often said that we suffer because of those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing get their way. Indeed, all too often, it costs us dearly when the distinction between price vs value is ignored. It is important to not only consider monetary costs- but other costs which ultimately may be far greater!
On Tuesday, July 24, 2012, the Associated Press ran a report entitled: AP Exclusive: Internal documents shows Obama deportation proposal could cost more than $585M.
The article primarily focused on whether or not user fees paid by illegal aliens seeking employment authorization will actually cover the administrative costs of providing more than one million illegal aliens with employment authorization or if, ultimately, at least some of the costs of processing these applications will be borne by the American taxpayers.
Here is an excerpt from the article: Fee waivers could dramatically affect the government's share of the cost. The plans said that, depending on how many applicants don't pay, the government could lose between $19 million and $121 million. Republican critics pounced on that. [...]
What was not noted in the article was the impact that dumping hundreds of thousands of newly authorized foreign workers into a labor pool comprised of millions of American workers of every race, religion and ethnicity who are already unable to find jobs would have. It is important to note that American black workers and American Latino workers are already suffering from a far higher unemployment rate than are their non-minority counterparts! |

Can Baltimore fill its barrios with aliens to save its bond ratings?
 There's an old joke about the businessman who admits he loses money on every sale, but plans to make it up with volume. The mayor of Baltimore MD, and apparently some other innumerate city politicians around the country, similarly expect to make up their deteriorating tax bases with tax-eating immigrants. -- These politicians want to "do growth" for growth's sake, while reducing benefits for existing citizens... |

O'Reilly becomes gun control advocate

Such a database is specifically prohibited by law. -- The three night assault on the Second Amendment rights of citizens led one activist to refer to O'Reilly as a "faux conservative" and another to call for a boycott of The O'Reilly Factor... |

Syria: Washington's latest war crime
 One wonders what Syrians are thinking as "rebels" vowing to "free Syria" take the country down the same road to destruction as "rebels" in Libya. Libya, under Gaddafi a well-run country whose oil revenues were shared with the Libyan people instead of monopolized by a princely class as in Saudi Arabia, now has no government and is in disarray with contending factions vying for power... |

Huma Abedin's Brotherhood ties are not just a family affair
 Senator John McCain's claim that concerns about Huma Abedin are a smear based on “a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations' proves more embarrassing by the day. In fact, to the extent it addressed Ms. Abedin, the letter sent to the State Department's inspector general by five House conservatives actually understated the case... |
