The woman had 8 kids at once today -a litter- to go with her other 6 kids, and she lives with her parents. Her father works with a contractor in Iraq and apparently will be coming home soon. His unmarried daughter opted to have eggs implanted in her apparently while he was gone. Who will pay for this?

Which leads to the obvious question, was this ethical on the part of the doctor who oversaw the procedure? Or is this like the Easter bunnies, chicks, ducklings, and other creatures which will suffer as they grow to maturity because the parents, caretakers, guardians, regents, or what have you will be unable to afford to take care of them. As their doctor said, "They're so cute." Maybe so, but who will pay for this?

Illegal immigration is on the forefront of many Americans’ minds lately and with good reason. The Center for Immigration Studies has recently reported that our immigrant population is now 37 million, up from 27 million in 1997. 1 in 3 of these immigrants are here illegally. We have a problem that has exploded in the last 10 years with no appreciable change in border security since September 11 when we were supposed to take a hard look at the problem.

We have security issues at home and our resources are running thin. Our education system is stretched, and immigration accounts for virtually all the national increase in public school enrollment in the last 2 decades. There is a worker present in 78% of immigrant households using at least one major welfare program, according to the same study. It’s no surprise then that often times these immigrants can afford to work for lower wages. They are subsidized by our government to do so.
