Why, yes, in fact you ARE!
I just found this absolutely comical post on the sub-freeper web site. They seem to think the off-budget war which costs billions PER WEEK is not the cause of America's financial problems. It's -- say it along with me now! -- them dang illegal aliens! One of the funniest attempts at slight-of-hand with the facts is the addition of things like $200 billion in "suppressed wages" or the money "illegals" send back home. They take dollar amounts akin to what Cheney finds in the sofa cushions of his secret lair and try to make them add up to something "big." The actual, real dollar amounts you can add up in this post are less than one week of expenditures in Iraq. Look at the desperate lengths they go to to lay America's financial woes on them thar illegals...and then they ask "are we that stupid?"
The answer to that one is obvious. Obvious to anyone but a sub-freeper, apparently.

It's time we wake up. Boy am I confused. Listening to the Partisan "politicals", I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.
Now .... I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts.
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year.
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! To view links in this forum your

7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US
11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border.
12. The National Policy Institute, "estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period."
13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin.
14. "The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States ".
