Invasion

My country is being invaded by illegals.  My government is doing nothing to stop it.  All those businesses hiring them need to be shut down.  If they can't hire and pay citizens then they should not be allowed to operate.  Deportation.  No amnesty.  The voters in Virginia sent a powerful message with the defeat of Cantor.  But the politicians in Washington can't seem to wrap their minds around the fact that they represent the rank and file citizen of the United States.  They do not represent these lawbreakers sneaking into our country.  They represent us.  The taxpaying citizen.  Until they wake up and smell the stink, we will continue to vote them out.  Then we will go after those businesses that hire them.  And a lot of those tea turds are business owners that hire illegals.  They will have their day of reckoning.  The taxpayer is fed up.  We work to pay taxes only to see those taxes given to foreigners.

Aid to Mexico in 2013- 269,5 million

Honduras 2013-58.6 million
Nicaragua 2013 13.1 million

Overall cost of illegals just entering the US is 113 billion.  This does not include the money paid to these countries.  29 billion from Federal Government and 84 billion to state and local costs.  And Texas pays out a ton for illegals.  52 billion is spent on educating the children.  Now does anyone wonder why we are broke and why our schools are in the toilet?  The middle class could do wonders with that money.

Most do not pay income taxes and those that do, get it all back in tax credits.  What does the average citizen gain from this?  Nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  And if you think that all you pay is income tax, think again.  Taxes and fees on phone bills average $20/month.  Ditto for energy, city services, cable and don't forget sales tax and in most states, income tax.  Here in Texas, we pay a great deal in property taxes and our schools are majority Spanish speaking illegals.  We're screwed unless we get politicians that can do the hard stuff and enforce our immigration laws and deport, arrest, fine, close the border.  Along with that, make the embassies of those countries responsible for their citizens.  Mexico screams loud and long when we execute one of their criminals, but don't make a peep about using us as their welfare system.  Time to force them to pay the piper.  Speak up.  Contact your elected officials.  Let them know you are done.  Hold them accountable.  Virginia did.

Irony of the prisoner release

Our President negotiated for God knows how long to gain the release of our soldier who has been held in Afghanistan for 5 years.  He pulled it all together and he is now in our hands.  And enter congress.  The Republicans are pissed because he did not delay the trade until he could notify congress and allow them to vote on it.  This is the irony.  That same congress would have left our soldier in the hands of the Taliban to spite the President.  They would not have allowed the swap and they would have left our man there to die.  I will say this right up front and loud.  I am so ashamed of my country right now.  I am ashamed of what it has become.  I am ashamed that the small minded, bigoted, mean fundies have been allowed to gain control of my country.  I am ashamed of my elected officials for allowing it to happen.  I am ashamed that they have made us look stupid and petty on the world stage.  I am ashamed that they feel they can treat our duly elected President they way that they are doing.  And I am ashamed of my fellow citizens for allowing it to happen.  This country has not been in this big of a mess in my lifetime.  Yep.  This congress is full of fools who are in it for what they can get.  They don't give a tinkers damn about the country.  Take Ted Cruz.  Cruz is out to be dictator.  He has no history with this country.  His father is a terrorist.  He only sees this country as a chance to get himself a dictatorship.  Well, I hope the slime in congress will devour each other.  That would be fittiing.
