Finally there is something that has lit the fire under Sen. Dole! And I thought she was a dud in office. This is something that should have been done something about a long time ago. Illegals are one of the largest causes for the downturn in the economy, healthcare and government run programs. They fuel the underground economy and help Mexico benefit from the free trade agreements with unfair advantage. They overtax the healthcare system in our country by hogging premium hospital resources and everyday American citizens die from the shortfalls caused by Illegals. And they sap the government (taxpayer) dollars set aside for the real Americans that need assistance. Just think what your food stamps and housing voucher would buy if the system delt only with real Americans under those programs. Glad Senator Dole woke up. Now she needs calls from us to make NC number one in being pro-active about this issue.
