Illegal Alien Criminals: Politicians Still Can't Bear to Part With Them
Fewer than half the foreigners convicted of crimes in the U.S. -- most of whom are illegal aliens -- are deported after serving their sentences, Bloomberg reported in an article packed with jaw-dropping illegal immigration statistics.
Before you read the article, consider this. In 2005, Congress blew $454 million on those two Alaskan bridges to nowhere.
Now, Bloomberg reports, Representative David Price, D-NC, who heads a panel overseeing Homeland Security Department funding, wants to get tough on illegal immigrant criminals by increasing spending on a program to identify and expel these people "by 31 percent, to $180 million."
"There's no convincing case for putting anything higher on the priority list in terms of deportation than persons who've committed crimes,'' Price said.
Unfortunately, you can't tell that by the dollar amount Congress is spending.
The White House also wants to "get tough," Bloomberg reports. Bush is requesting a $29 million boost for the criminal-deportation program, a 21 percent increase from its current $137 million budget. WOW!
The $454 million for the Alaskan bridges was just a down payment, by the way. The full tab will run upwards of $2 billion.

if someone shoots and illegal invader with an illegal gun and illegal bullet does that mean three wrongs make it right. or do you lose your citizenship

Here's a novel concept -- dissolve the US Department of Education since the Federal Government does not belong in the business of public education (that belongs to the states) and use $67.2 billion dollars per year (see http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/index.html?src=gu) to fund the DEpartment of Homeland Security's Immigration division. That would increase funding of Immigration and Customs/Border Protection from $15 billion (see http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/budget_bib-fy2008.pdf, p. 19) to $82 billion.

Not to pull my tinfoil hat on too tightly... but try googling for 'Halliburton detention center'. I remember reading about these camps going back to 2005. Temporary detention centers they call them. Depending on the source.. they have either already built dozens of them across the country or they have contracts and funding in place to build them at a moments notice.
So see... they are spending plenty to get ready for some big event... one has to wonder what they are expecting to happen.. and who might end up in these camps.
