ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: NO Border, NO Order, NO Nation

Security system as much as $345 billion - money that SHOULD be used to pay the benefits WE have been promised.

productivity, wages, tax revenue and unemployment compensation.

illegal aliens annually. In 2004, the Border Patrol estimates that 3 million illegal aliens entered the U.S.
> Population: Currently, we have 294 million people, but because of today’s mass immigration, 420 million is projected by 2050.
