Don't think we have a thread on this hot topic. I see now towns are rising up and blocking buses with "undocumented" children.... The almost 4 billion is just to deal with about 181,000 non Mexican, mostly under 18 year old children.
"most of whom have not been vaccinated against infectious diseases like measles, there is fear of potential epidemics. According to the Daily Mail, a rabies outbreak has already been reported by Border Patrol, and officials in Texas are beginning to worry that other infections could spread as well. In Rio Grande, at least, the children are not being screened for diseases."
Also numerous reports of drugs being smuggled, etc. Heard on the news almost 300 children reported dead trying to make the trips, many kidnapped and taken into prostitution, etc.
Numerous militia groups are rising and being called up by their groups and supporters to protect private land on the border, stating it's their duty since the govt. will now protect the border.
Course this non Mexican crisis is separate from the Mexican issue.
I can't find a true number on the cost of all issues related to illegal immigration yearly, certainly many billions.
Another concern, the big call for foster parents. It appears this will be a fast tracked process with very little oversight approval. Course, being a foster you can get and qualify for govt help, possibly $1000's per month per child, so much concern many children will just fall prey to people wanting money and no telling what else.
