The selling out of America

Well Freepers our President has sold us up the river and hopefully this is a wake up call to conservatives. The guest worker program is a DISASTER waiting to happen. One of President Reagan's mistakes in 1986 was to give blanket amnesty to illegals prior to sealing up the border and overhauling INS. It was stated that by doing this it would curb and put an end to illegal immigration. Since then it has doubled. Now we are seeing the same thing all over again.

O'Reilly pulled current numbers from the census bureau and foun the following. It costs this country 20 billion dollars a year in illegal immigration. 35% of LEGAL immigrants are on welfare or receive some form of government assistance. Like O'Reilly said if I were a Mexican living in Mexico I would be on the next bus here to America. When is America going to wake up and understand that current immigration brings unskilled, uneducated workers who NEED government assistance. Do they want to work? Yes and no. Yes there is no doubt about it that those who wish to work bust their butts in working but for below average wages. This myth that they pay taxes is also false. Those in the lower tax brackets pay no federal income taxes. Most have no health coverage and use hospitals for common illnesses. Guess who picks up the tab? I say also no they do not want to work because current numbers would support this, the 35% LEGAL immigrants currently on welfare. O'Reilly also stated that Vicente Fox is probably jumping for joy over this. He gets to dump his unskilled poor labor force on us and then reap the rewards when these people dump money back into his economy. It is a win win for this guy. I still do not understand why America appeases this guy.

This myth that immigrant workers take jobs the rest of Americans would not is totally false. Remember the great depression in the 20's? A time in which American workers were killing each other to find work? There is also a myth that immigrants are paying their share of taxes. This is also false. Illegal immigrants do not pay taxes. Furthermore, of those immigrants, LEGAL immigrants cost this country more in services rendered than what they put into the system. To save myself making such a broad accusation without proof I will provide you links of these facts. I will first provide you a quote from this website and then you may click on the link to read the website further. "For instance, in 1996 legal immigration alone cost Floridians $6 billion, up 77% from 1992. Legal immigration cost Texans $7 billion, New Yorkers $14 billion and Californians an amazing $28 billion. These are the compounded costs of Public Schools, Bilingual Education, Medicaid, AFDC, Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Housing Assistance, Criminal Justice, as well as job loss by Americans and other programs, for a total cost to American taxpayers of $136 billion dollars." http://www.carryingcapacity.org/100000.html

I will provide you with one more quote and link. I hope that you take these facts seriously. "research suggests that "between 40 and 50 percent of wage-loss among low-skilled Americans is due to the immigration of low-skilled workers. Some native workers lose not just wages but their jobs through immigrant competition. An estimated 1,880,000 American workers are displaced from their jobs every year by immigration; the cost for providing welfare and assistance to these Americans is over $15 billion a year." http://www.cairco.org/econ/econ.html

As a solution we need to make abled body Americans currently on the government dole (welfare) take those jobs that people claim only illegal immigrants will take. Our entire INS dept. needs an overhaul. We should start mass deportation of those immigrants that do not belong here. Many would say that we do not have the money for this. This is not true. Stop services, it is that simple. Stop the medical care, stop the welfare, stop other related services and dump it into immigration reform, border agents backed up by the National Guard, and deportation. My tax dollars are going to people that 1)Do not belong here and 2)Going to those that have been placed into a legal status because the defunct INS gives legal status to those that have nothing to offer this country in the way of professional services or real job production. For example; remember that LEGAL citizen that came from Europe, I believe he may have been Croatian, who lived in California? He killed his child some 3 years ago and placed the child into a dumpster. He then wrote to police where they could find the child. Want to know what this legal citizens' profession was? He was an unemployed shoe repairman. How was this individual granted legal status? Was this a man that was considered a contributor to society? Because of current immigration policy, these are the types of individuals that my tax dollars pay for.

I encourage ALL to write their Congressmen and Senators. I already have. This is the collective end to America as we know it.

The partisan pubs here will be after you. They are blinded by their partisanship, no different than the people that thought everything Clinton did was ok.

I have called, written, and emailed my representatives. I will be following up on this.

I encourage ALL to write their Congressmen and Senators.

Wouldn't hurt to send a copy to the Pres. himself too.

[cynicom]

Todays Wash Times has good lead stories on this plus good editorials.

[AbsoluteJustice]

My question is this though; how could they support this? The number I posted do not lie and what I have written is BASIC common sense. hmmmmm

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Does anyone have data on last amnesty of excess people
brought in legally by people who were granted amnesty?

I will search it for you because this is the ONE SINGLE issue that lights a fire in me!

[cynicom]

Bush is pandering to 7 per cent of the population and they are mostly die hard democrat voters. Washington Times has hard data in their stories this morning.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

I have not been able to find any data on last
CRIMINAL INVADERS reward.

[StonyBurk]

Imagine if only 3% of those here llegally were to decide
that the WhiteHouse laws were no different than the private
property of othe rAmericans they trampled and trashed on
their way north to the jobs and wellfare their Govt. refuses
to provide for its own people? PErhaps then there would be
reasonable response to the problem of our southern border.

My congress critter is hyperleftliberal Rosa DeLauro.

I won't waste my time writing to her.

[AbsoluteJustice]

"CRIMINAL INVADERS reward."

HAHAHA not hits on it eh? Try a Google search did ya?

LOL

[AbsoluteJustice]

A very scary thought but it is coming my friend. We are quickly becoming the minority in this country.

[OXENinFLA]

Thanks.

Question: Do you think this legislation will be passed before the NOV. election (if at all)?

[verity]

That's it! I am voting for Howard! ;~)

[AbsoluteJustice]

I truely hope you are right on this one. I hope The House has sense enough to strike this one down and make Bush come to his senses. But my Senator McCain will not learn so therefore I will be voting him out next election.
