Either present a credible cite for $113 billion or fuck off.

So, you and your little band have run out of a way to address me and my honest questions. You act as if I came here with an agenda, when in fact I came here to learn your opinions. I have pretty much found what I came looking for. All you got is name-calling, and no fact links to support your arguments. Frankly, you are as bad as conservatives.

We liberals have more facts than at our hands than our opposition, yet people here seem unable to find or use them. I was told when I was in my initial training in an advertising agency that an account person should be able to argue either side of any issue and win. I can think of **at least three strong arguments** IN FAVOR of illegal immigrants and their anchor babies that have not been mentioned in **123** posts. I think I am wasting my time here.

I think everybody posting in this thread is has wasted his or her own time. I’m closing this.
