Oh how they dress this fat, ugly sow up to look like a runway model; but this model is, unlike Obama's government dealings, very transparent and full of killer costs.

According to FoxNews.com Stephen Clark's December 02, 2010 online article, "DREAM Act Would Cost Taxpayers $6.2 BILLION Per Year..."per the Center for Immigration Studies. That's where the problem begins. It gets worse when all the facts are uncovered; facts that Democrat supporters of the Act, led by Senator Harry Reid, D-NV are not making public and hoping they will stay below the radar undetected. One interesting note from a FoxNews.com report of Phoenix, AZ on December 03, 2010, "Cops: Smuggled Kids Found at Ariz. House" states that 11 juveniles were "rescued" Thursday from a drop house and three suspected human smuggler were taken into custody. It should be pretty obvious where I am going with this bit of information; but to be up front, I think this is one of the first moves to start pouring young kids across the border into the United States to be recipient of the DREAM Act legislation mentioned above. The $6.2 billion per year of costs for this atrocious piece of legislation was just the estimate covering the illegal children already in this country, but these children will beget hundreds, thousands and millions more because not only will those under 35 years of age get multiple benefits from it, but the potential for those children to be able to sponsor their other relatives until the country is overrun with unwanted hordes of foreigners, along with the illegals that pour across the border almost unmolested thanks to Obama. The first report by Stephen Clark states that "Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, seeks an analysis from the Congressional Budget Office of the legislation's cost before there's a vote. King, who issued a letter Wednesday afternoon to CBO, claims Senate Democrats are hiding an analysis that shows the legislation will cost upwards of $20 billion." This Congressman's efforts to get the REAL financial report out to the public was met with this comment from Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano who said Thursday the CBO scored the current version of the bill in the House as neutral. "The cost argument really doesn't hold water anymore," she said during a conference call. Now one of those two people, Rep. King or Secretary Napolitano is either lying or very gravely mistaken. My money is on King as Napolitano is not known for her truth and candor. Just as the Obama Administration would never acknowledge that there was any veracity to reports that after these juveniles are placed in schools ahead of our own citizens' children, that they can sponsor their families to come to the United States, and guess who will pay for that, Mr. and Mrs. America? The liberal Democrats in our Congress, and Obama Administration can not be trusted to do what is right for the country; no, they feel that they must FIRST, see how many more billions and trillions of taxpayer dollars they can commit to illegal aliens to help saddle this country and its natural children for the foreseeable future. And the motives of these reprehensible liberal Democrats? Gather more votes for REELECTION to office. Now do you see why Term Limits (and ONE term only) is so important? If we keep electing and reelecting career politicians, they will literally EAT up our country. Wipe them and illegal aliens out of the picture. Getting back to the DREAM Act and its horrors from Stephan Clark's FoxNews.com report, "the Center for Immigration Studies says its $6.2 billion estimate is conservative and does not include the "modest" number of illegal immigrants expected to attend private institutions. The report assumes that most illegal immigrants would attend state universities and community colleges schools where both funds and slots are limited." "These institutions where most of these kids can be expected to enroll are in dire straits," Steven Camarota, director of research at the center who authored the report, told FoxNews.com. He calculated that "1.03 million illegal immigrants will enroll in public institutions and receive a tuition subsidy from taxpayers of nearly $6,000 for each year of attendance for a total cost of $6.2 billion year - a figure that doesn't include other forms of financial assistance that may also be provided." And as I said above, this does NOT include the costs of all the families that these students will sponsor into the United States and for which WE, the American taxpayers, will be responsible. Still like the DREAM Act? Harry Reid, Janet Napolitano and Obama sure do. Let's hope it hasn't gotten out of Congress before you read this and tell your Representative to STOP these country-killing liberal initiatives. Think of the taxpayers just once.
