340,000 and we have to pay the hospital bill on them. How much does it cost to have a baby these days. THAT'S ALOT of wasted money.
ReplyDeleteEven more money is wasted in the emergency rooms for the parents coming in for care. When will we stop the madness. Lock these people out of the job market by going after the employers (they know these folks are illegal) and you'll see them running in droves to get back across the border.
ReplyDeletecross the border for free health care and Obama has his arms open wide and we pay for it .
ReplyDeleteAs soon as they are born DEPORT THEM
ReplyDeletewith the rest of their families.
Go after the money- no jobs for the illegals, no more problems.
ReplyDeleteAS I see it these illegals, willing to work, are alot more moral than the tax cheaters willing to hire them.
We need the criminal alien removal act !

ReplyDeletedon't waste your time. These clowns blame Obama for the crack in the liberty bell.
Meanwhile the Repubs. they swear are the best thing since sliced bread. Seems like they would understand that the idealogues and politicians are gang raping america. The conservative side of the aisle is simply sitting back waiting their turn to jump on.
