Immigration Reform Update: What a Joke!

Reform? Yeah right!

Citing "budget cuts" they have decided to cut the number of Border Control Agents on our Mexican border  a minimum of 50%. Who in their right mind could ever imagine that half the number of Agents could even begin to control the never ending influx of illegals and criminals into our country along a 2000 mile stretch, especially when the current number aren't cutting it either?

California alone will be cut from 264 to just 14 troops. This in a state that is over run with illegals.

Homeland Security Officials have stated that the increase in troops over the last few years has made the region safer. They referred to the latest figures that showed apprehended illegals "fell to 327,577 in fiscal 2011, down from 447,731 in 2010, and from 1.6 million in 2000". (Washington Times, Stephen Dinan, 12.12.11).

We American taxpayers should be OUTRAGED. Especially when our government is spending BILLIONS protecting and supporting other foreign countries and wars. Shouldn't the most powerful nation on the planet be able to accomplish the simple task of controlling it's own borders? This is idiotic, hypocritical, ludicrous and insane.

The financial costs to the American taxpayer associated with illegals in our country is STAGGERING. In addition, the strain on our system, infrastructure, schools, hospitals, insurance costs, unemployment, crime, and national security,etc. is also STAGGERING.

We taxpayer/citizens need Immigration Reform and we need it NOW! Don't let your elected officials get away with sweeping this issue this under the rug any longer.
