Discussed by Horace Cooper
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is Project 21 requesting for a tax increase or increase in spending in their “Blueprint for A Better Deal”?

Short Answer: No!

Listen as Horace Cooper explains what they suggest…

Does any other country provide for ALL of the needs (food, housing, money, medical expenses, and education facilities) for illegal immigrants?

Does America have enough resources to accommodate everyone who wishes to come to our country, legally or illegally?

How much money is spent on illegal immigrants annually? How much is Federal money and how much is State money? Listen closely – this just may shock you!

Are illegal immigrants draining available funds from public service programs that should go to American citizens first?
