[QUOTE="Meat, post: 3893090, member: 61324"] From a monetary perspective, who gives a :censored:? It’s impossible to judge the exact cost of illegals on an annual basis, but some estimates come in at around fifty plus billion a year. We are looking at trillion dollar deficits for the foreseeable future regardless of that figure. If either party really gave a :censored: about the average citizen, they would be fighting to fund Medicare (Part A starts to run at a deficit next decade) and Social Security (starts to run at seventy-nine percent capacity in approximately sixteen years - keep in mind that is the only income that a significant portion of the population has, and the current average benefit is approximately $1300). In short, there are much greater problems that need to be dealt with, and it amazes me that average citizens are tolerating this nonsense from our elected officials when a significant portion of them will NEVER retire.
