Any legislation that legalizes the status of those who broke our laws by entering our country illegally and allows them to stay and work here is amnesty. We must not only prevent the Democrats and some moderate Republicans from hijacking the meaning of the word amnesty, but the public must be made aware about the true impact of an amnesty.

The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty would be $2.6 trillion just for increased entitlement program costs. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen.

In 2012, some U.S. Border Patrol agents suggest that the rate of illegal border-crossings is not down and that the figures are being massaged. Now when illegal border-crossers are caught, they are immediately sent back at the nearest port of entry—with no records maintained in cases where supervisors determine that “prosecutorial discretion” is to be exercised. Although figures don’t lie, figures can be manipulated. The number of illegal aliens entering the United States remains considerable –– contrary to what immigration advocates would have you believe. Although the draw of jobs still motivates illegal entry, a new twist has entitlements are becoming the main incentive. Illegal aliens entering the U.S. today understand that the Obama administration is reshaping social and welfare benefits to be citizenship-neutral, with no questions asked about the citizenship of applicants.

This is an update from James T. Walsh. He suggest that yearly costs for illegal aliens are over 100 billion per year and border hospitals are closing en masse. By the way kabar worked for the State Dept. for many years and his posts come with years of experience.
