Obama to speak on immigration policy in Texas

AP/Yahoo ^ | 5/6/2011

The White House says President Barack Obama will deliver a speech on immigration when he visits El Paso, Texas, next Tuesday.

It will be the latest in a string of events the White House has devoted to immigration policy despite an unfavorable climate on Capitol Hill for passing the kind of comprehensive legislation Obama favors. The president wants to see a path to legalization for the millions of illegal immigrants in this country, something opposed by Republicans who control the House.

[markomalley]

Just what we need.

[South40]

...for passing the kind of comprehensive legislation amnesty Obama favors.

They'll keep pushing until Lindsey and John can persuade enough other RINOs to join them.

[Carley]

The princess boy has stated that he can win Texas because of the number of hispanics in that state. I suspect he is also counting on the New Orleans transplants to help him with his plan to steal Texas.

[magna carta]

Take it easy chap...Bush and Foxx already tried that.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

He is hellbent on getting that hispanic vote. This is all he has left.

[KansasGirl]

Give it up, Ubama. You have no chance in TX.

[PLD]

Notice he is visiting El Paso the border city that houses thousands of illegals and thousands more to try and get across the border..He is making sure his illegals vote for him..Next he will visit Brownsville,Victoria and other border cities..

[No Truce With Kings]

Doe he consider a trip to Texas a visit to a foreign country, the way Hillary does?

[Trajan88]

Pres. Obama, do you know how much Dallas county tax payers are saddled with when it comes to illegals giving birth at Parkland hospital?

Last I heard there are at least 10,000 births/year ... each one costing tax payers an average $12,000 (anchor babies galore).

That's a lot of tax payer money going down the drain... pathetic.

Ohaha giving immigration talk? More like sucking up for illegal votes in Texas.

So I guess the WH gave Dallas brothers, Angel and Jorge Pelcastre, an engraved invitation.

After all, the two brothers single handedly gave impoverished Mexican illegals "here for a better" life multiple identities (driver's licenses, passports, birth certificates and SS numbers).

Now illegals and their families could board the US gravy train with multiple identities and become rich.....as they vote, vote, vote.

====================================

SOURCE: BERGEN RECORD, NJ--- July 21, 2006
Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, NJ L/E authorities said.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker.

The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the US, passports and resident alien cards, said state police. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution. The Drug Interdiction Task Force, regularly runs checks.

The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. Authorities approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately.

The Texas brothers consented to a search. Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs. All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 Social Security cards. ####

Desperate Housewife Says She ‘Brainstormed’ With Obama

[tumblindice]

e-mail I got, no idea who the teacher is but suspect she’s living in the shadows

From a real, live California school teacher - - -

As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:
I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students come from lower socio and economic income levels.

Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park , etc.. where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.

Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I’m not talking a glass of milk and roll — but a full cooked breakfast of bacon and ham and eggs and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten.
(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones, most of them the DROIDS and the BLACKBERRYS and the IPHONES.
The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls(some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.
(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing
funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America ..
(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less than 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them “Putas” (whores ) and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears.

Free medical, free education, free food, day care, etc, etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled not only to be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?

To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.

Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I’ll pay more for tomatoes.

Americans, We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won’t have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return?

It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and anAmerican culture that has become so weak and worried about”political correctness “ that we don’t have the will to do anything about it.

CHEAP LABOR? Isn’t that what the whole immigration issue is about?

Business doesn’t want to pay a decent wage.

Consumers don’t want expensive produce.

Government will tell you Americans don’t want the jobs.

But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase “cheap labor” is a myth ,
a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as “cheap labor..”

Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for
$5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no
income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return,
he gets an “earned income credit” of up to $3,200 free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.

He qualifies for food stamps..

He qualifies for free (no deductible),
no co-pay) health care.

His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

He requires bilingual teachers and books.

He qualifies for relief from high energy bills...

If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.
Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at
(our) taxpayer’s expense .

He doesn’t worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.

Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.

He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.

Working Americans
are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills AND his.

The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people!

This country has got to face the issue of illegal immigration, not through the rosey glasses of political correctness, or “let’s be kind and let anyone in who wants to come in” but by being realistic. This issue is bankrupting our south-western states, and when that happens...guess who picks up THAT bill....the American taxpayers. Washington is not about to let California or Texas or New Mexico go belly-up. They will send federal dollars to the individual states to bail them out, and that is OUR MONEY.

Very well said. Bump!

And ... tied to each anchor is an extended family all eligible for all kinds of freebies.

An illegal alien with a wife and five children earns $5-6.00/hour; he pays no income tax. He gets an EITC “earned income credit” refunds up to $3,200 scot-free. He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps, free (no deductible), no co-pay) health care....SSI and Medicare, etc etc etc.

All of that is collected with one identity---evidence shows illegals use multiple identities....all riding the US gravy train. Illegal Jose Madrigal, the Washington state rapist, had some 30 identities.

Illegal ordered to repay $3M in Calif employment fraud
San Francisco Chronicle | June 26, 2010
FR Posted June 26, 2010 by artichokegrower

A former Marysville resident has been sentenced to prison and ordered to pay back $3 million in fraudulently obtained unemployment compensation. U.S. Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner says 31-year-old Manuel Mejia Ordonez was sentenced Friday to eight years and one month in prison for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and identity theft. (Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...

======================================

Q. How does a citizen of Mexico make $3 million in unemployment claims? A. By establishing multiple identities. The fraudster, Manuel Mejia Ordonez, got eight years for conspiracy to commit mail fraud........and identity theft.

================================================

REFERENCE In July 2010, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released the results of a study which examined the costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local levels. The study found that U.S. state and local governments shell out $84.2 billion annually in various services (law enforcement, schools, social services, etc.), with California taxpayers alone, spending $21 billion on illegal aliens every year. The same study found that $29 billion is spent every year in federal funds on illegal aliens. So, while it would cost a one-time fee of about $135 billion to deport every single illegal alien in the country, it is actually a bargain considering the fact that it already costs us $113 billion annually to keep them here.

THE FRAUD FILE

<><><> A Social Security category provides outrageous government financial aid to "illegal refugees" claiming "persecution from drug wars." These phonies never paid a dime into the SS system; yet, they collect seven years straight...... and get extended payments if they are politically well-connected---like having a pal in the WH. The SS checks can amount to $1000 a month, and more. And that's for one identity. Evidence shows illegals establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents (which "impoverished immigrants" buy from itinerant document brokers for several thousand dollars). Washington state rapist, Jose Madrigal, had 30 identities.

<><><> Earned Income Tax Credit is also available to immigrants who obtain legal work status. But the law allows immigrants to claim EITC for up to three years prior to obtaining that status. Workers simply file a tax return for the years in which they were not legally eligible to work in the US.

The most widespread abuse stems from the requirement that children live with the worker for more than six months of the year. IRS does little to verify the claim. Many immigrants claim non-existent children, or claim children who they’ve left behind with relatives. Those with two or more children and income below $32,121 could get as much as $4,008. It is estimated that illegals got $22 billion EITC refunds.
