Amnesty Will Cost U.S. Taxpayers at Least $2.6 Trillion [Flashback to '07]
Heritage Foundation ^ | June, 2007 | Robert Rector

Posted on 07/10/2010 3:42:26 AM PDT by T.L.Sink

[Flashback] Robert Rector of Heritage discussed the most comprehensive, detailed and objective study of the illegal alien crisis ever done. His conclusion was that the social, economic and political consequences of the massive illegal invasion, if not curtailed, will result in the collapse of the whole American cultural infrastructure in about 20 years. His research caused a sensation. He appeared on C-Span, numerous media outlets, and talk radio shows. His study was quoted in the Senate when the issue of comprehensive immigration (a/k/a amnesty) was being debated. Most notewothy is the fact that NONE of the open-borders advocates nor the proponents of amnesty could factuallly repudiate his data. All the facts that he compiled to make his extrapolations are right now on-target and coming to fruition.

I recently posted an article by the Federation for American Immigration Reform entitled, "Illegal Immigration - a $113 Billion a Year Drain on U.S. Taxpayers." This, too, was a very comprehensive study that confirmed Rector's thesis. But the powerful political and ethnocentric factions ignore with indifference America's accelerating journey into bankruptcy and Third World status.

Note to mama grizzlies - Amnesty will guarantee that your children live in poverty and squalor. Stay angry.

We had amnesty once — and look where it got us.

I was there. I lived in California at the time.

Last time I visited California, I went out late at night to buy a hamburger, and six of My Hispanic brothers had just finished murdering a fellow Hispanic inside his car over an argument at a nearby small nightclub. The car was rolling through the parking lot silently, while six short swarthy fellows were running round and round the outside. I thought it was some kind of strange college initiation.

The murder had happened about 30 seconds before I arrived to buy my dinner. this is in what used to be a very very safe town well known for its very high levels of learning and its high number of engineers and scientists. Gee, I guess It is not known for all that anymore.

“Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.”

I have caught H from a few snots on FR because I now reside outside of the USA.
There thesis is that if I were a devoted American, I would be back there sacrificing myself as a patriot.
That is fine if America were under attack from a foreign government, but America is under attack from 40 percent, or more, of its own citizens.

Their attitude towards me does, however, point out the growing anger and frustration of those having to endure the Obamination of America.
As for myself, as well as all other Americans, I can do nothing more then VOTE and vent my frustrations on the internet.

These are great numbers to throw at those that say we can’t afford to deport.
Deportation is the only sane solution and will help out economy,not hurt it. I’ve posted 1000 times that any business model that depends on that labor force has no business.

Children born of illegals are considered citizens. That’s why we get swamped EVEN IF there is no amnesty. Deport if they are caught committing a crime, deny employment by aggressive enforcement against employers, and get rid of automatic citizenship for illegals children.

Rector and all the other studies in the past have pointed to this....this is not new

The Number One issue in the fight against Illegal Alien Amnesty is for Conservatives to vote out GOP politicians who support Amnesty. Our bigeest threat with Amnesty is the liberal GOP types like McCain, Graham, the Bushes, Newt, and a slew of others. Too many top GOP are pro-illegal/anti-American.

Scary that pro-Americans may have to rely on Democrats to keep Illegal Alien Amnesty from happening.

Also, anyone who cannot commit to DEPORTING ILLEGAL ALIENS is in favor of Amnesty.....when someone spins the deportation issue with “guest workers”, “temp workers” or some other back-door Amnesty....they support Amnesty if they cannot commit to DEPORTING ILLEGAL ALIENS

I was doing some research. In 1980 Hispanics only represented 2% of the electorate; In 2003 they surpassed blacks as the nation’s largest minority. In 2008 they represented 9% of the vote. If we allow amnesty, it will be 13% - 15%.

If we allow amnesty, we are giving up far more than $2.6 trillion. We will lose our national identity.

Very good point. The 1986 Reagan amnesty was NEVER followed up by the collateral promise to secure our borders. “Those who don’t remember the past are condemned to relive it.” - Santayana

I’m not one of those who condemn Americans who live abroad. If you’re voting and making your patriotic sentiments known then you’re already doing more than most who reside here. Yes, the anger and frustration with Obama are growing as we watch him destroy this great nation. About all most of us here can do is what you’re doing: VOTE HIM AND THE BUMS OUT!

WRONG!

It will cost our Chinese overlords $2.6 trillion dollars. There's no way we can actually pay them back.

What might they have to say about this I wonder?

Right - I think most people think of deportation as rounding up 11+ million people. The fact is that if we enforce our laws the illegals will self-deport and the flood of illegals coming in will dry up.

In previous generations, immigrants came to America looking for an opportunity to build a new future.

Today a majority are coming for “free stuff.”

Peace, bro - if you can make a go at it outside the borders, more power to you, and happiness. We have a contingency plan outside the borders as well. Looks what happened to Venezuela, or Cuba for that matter. History repeats itself. It’s just a matter of ignorance reaching the critical boiling point, and I see steam...
