This came in my email today. Thought it was worth sharing.

WHY ARE WE BANKRUPT?

Informative, and mind boggling! You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?

Boy, was I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq
war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I find that to be RIDICULOUS.

I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I also have included the URL's for verification of all the following FACTS.

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.

If this doesn't bother you then just delete the message. If, on the other hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including every elected representative in Washington , D.C. - five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance
of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof.

The solution is so simple, and it may happen because the new Homeland Security person is the ex-Governor of Arizona and she has mentioned doing this.

Forget about the Illegal, go after the employer. Fine for 1st offense of hiring Illegal: $10,000. 2nd offense: $100,000. 3rd offense: $1,000,000.

You could pull all the people off the borders and justcheck worksites. After the employer has to pay $100K
just one time he'll stop hiring them. NO JOBS--NO COME.
