I have loved your site since the first time I saw it. I’ve laughed so hard i could cry. If this is legitimate and not a April 1 prank, then I can tell you without question that I will stop your feed and never visit again. Glad to find you have found such a fine outlet for your bigoted racism. A good racist can always find somebody seemingly below him to blame for the miserable state of his own life. You simply suck.
You undoubtedly are simply another of the great uneducated idiots that we are all forced to share oxygen with. You are so sadly misinformed on so many levels that it would be a waste of time to bother explaining the truth to you. Yech, you simply make my skin crawl. No doubt you are next gonna tell us how you are a Christian too!
Send your vicious diatribe on to others? Are you insane? Well, strike that, of course you are. The only place I’ll send it, is back into the oblivion of cyberspace.

@Sherry Peyton
I have seen your continued visits and comments to the site and have been appreciative of both. I must let you know that you are wrong with this comment on all marks and I have let it through unmoderated despite that fact. The truth behind this post is easily apparent in all sources linked for each line item in the long list so this is no April fools though I wish I could say that there was no immigration problem. There is nothing in this post that is bigoted or racist and I am offended by the suggestion that I have aversions to legal immigrants or people of race other than my own. To suggest that I have one religious affiliation or another is also very presumptuous and equally offensive. To say that “You simply suck.” or to make claims on my status of my personal life without knowing me is telling of your personality.
If you have a rebuttle for any points in this or any of the posts here I welcome you to make a blog entry complete with your own sources to back up your story so that I can accurately see where you are coming from. Otherwise try to refrain from flaming me personally.
Thanks for visiting the site and I hope to see your wonderful comments on future posts!

The rebuttals to the orginal article are many, but here are three easy ones to start:
1. Whatever the accuracy or inaccuracy of the numbers claimed, the article is a gross distortion, because it completely ignores the economic contributions of illegal aliens, not to mention the taxes they pay. Yes, we spend tax money on illegal aliens, just like we spend tax money on you and me, but the vast majority of illegal immigrants pay taxes (via withholding), just like you and me. People have studied this issue over the years and it’s very hard to get an accurate number on how much tax money illegal aliens are using vs. how much they’re contributing. Some have estimated they actually CONTRIBUTE more than they use, especially if you count social security taxes — because large numbers of illegal aliens never claim their social security.
2. I really detest, and believe that well-intentioned people everywhere reject, the politics of “let’s pick out a group of powerless people and blame crap on them” especially when the facts are grossly distorted as in this message. It’s un-American and un-Christian and in my opinion morally repugnant.
3. As if to confirm the dishonesty of the message, the author puts a reference to snopes.com at the end, claiming that it confirms the accuracy of the message. The snopes article he or she refers to is on another topic altogether. That’s just lying in an attempt to deceive the reader. Disgusting.
Bottom line: If this continues to be the level of the dialogue that we engage in as Americans, our country really is going down the tubes.

Point #9 in the list talking about $200 billion in lost revenue was originally an unsighted fact. I received an email with a link to http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html where the original source was for this information.
“That economy, we know the estimates by the most authoritative and recent study put the suppressed wages at $200 billion a year, as a result of immigration, both legal and illegal.”

And while we’re on the subject of the links, can I just point out that most of the links in the original article, which are offered as “verification” of the claims are in fact just transcripts of what some commentator said on a TV show? None that I followed showed any research or other evidence tending to indicate whether the facts claimed are true or false. That someone said it on TV isn’t evidence of anything. Whatever one’s views are on this subject, this particular article is misleading so many ways that it’s not at all helpful in addressing any real issues.

If the numbers are right, this should be a SHAME for the American government, because they have not being able to do their jobs in the right way…and still they are getting paid.
We need to understand that when somebody do business with the government, they are going to inflate 2 or 3 hundred per cent what they would charge…Billions of dollars/year?
Every time an illegal spend some money here, s/he is paying taxes.
When the illegals come to a wild hill worth $ 20,000.00, they clean it, cut trees down, and make a park out of it, at the end this is valued at $ 500,000.00. And the illegals get paid pennyes for the dollar.
When you go to a hotel, or restaurant, most likley the illegals are the ones who SERVE YOU (and very cheap).
All that drugs are coming to U.S. How is that? The police, Sheriff Dpt., DEA, FBI, etc do not have any control at all? If they are catching some, how is it that so many is coming in? Corruption? Negligence? Inneptitude?
No. All the problems are not on the illegals. Think again.

Wow, that was racist as hell.
When you ignore the fact that this is a list of money spent to better the lives of fellow humans who happen to be brown being called WORSE than money spent to slaughter fellow humans who happen to be brown, it’s still a horrible thing to say.
This is AMERICA. Anyone who wants to ought to be able to say “hey I’m here” and get a thumbs up. I mean, barring the obvious (Osama knocks on the door) anyone should be able to find refuge in America. Thats what this country was built on. You do know people used to be horridly racist towards the IRISH and others who tried to immigrate? Would you do that today? Just because you were here first doesn’t give you a right to say these people aren’t welcome.
These people work 70 hours a week at two jobs to feed their kids, sick relatives. You in fact probably save money by the exploitation of many of these people. You spent money on a career in gaining more money and lord it over them? Their culture values being able to eat and taking care of family and what do you value? Bigger TVs? What would you do with your money saved if the government didn’t use it to help people? Would YOU help people? Or would you buy another SUV? Don’t lie. You’re crying about your extra penny floating away when they’re crying about how they can buy the next meal for their children. You make me sick.
(PS did you know that 85% of people who have died cumulatively in the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent wars in the middle east (us and foreign) were civilians who had nothing to with any of it? And that murderous rampage is better? Give me a break, you heartless, evil creatures.)
